Ghosts

We went to the Pumpkin Patch in Arthur on Saturday and picked up a few gourds to paint like ghosts. Sunday we painted them white, Monday morning we added faces, and here's how they ended up:

From R-L, Julia's, with it's cute eyelashes and happy smile, Jasper's, with the speech bubble "BOO", and mine, scared silly.
Jasper's is a cyclops:

And Julia's has an extra eye, plus a tail (?):

Added on 10/26: Julia asked me why I laughed when I talked about the smile on her ghost. I explained that most people don't put smiles on their ghosts and I thought it was really cool that she had done something different. She seemed okay with that explanation, but was disappointed that her ghost wasn't scary. She said that she had tried really hard to make scary eyelashes. How much do I love this girl? And Jasper, making a cyclops ghost?! Wow.
