Our Halloween party was a huge one this year. All the big events made a return, as well as the truly terrifying haunted garage. We had three kids in tears and LOTS of screams, so all in all, it was a big success. We’re still finding spiders and webs around the place, even after cleaning up twice!
Even the young ones got dressed up for the party!
(while eating breakfast)
LR: I’m going to write a book one day. I’ve got a good idea for it too. It’ll be the biggest… book… ever… The size of a house!
Dad: That’s a great idea. I wonder if anyone’s ever made a book that big.
RJ: Mine will be that big too! I have a special name for it!
Dad: What’s that?
RJ: The Big, Big, Big, Big, Big, Big, Big, Big, Big, Big, Bad Book.
Dad: Cool… but why is it bad?
RJ: It’s so big, you can fall inside and get trapped in the story.
Dad: Did that actually happen to someone?
RJ: Yes. The postman is still stuck in there. It’s okay! There’s a toilet inside.
LR: (giggles)
Dad: Well that’s a relief.
RJ: It’s okay if you fall in, because he can give you your mail… You’ll love it! It’s an invitation to a birthday party!
We survived our massive annual Halloween ordeal party. Last year’s party was talked about at school for the whole year, so this year’s was heavily anticipated. From apple bobbing, to treasure hunts, a nigh-invulnerable piñata, to a wet and soggy caveman, we had all the major attractions.
This year, however, we decided not to do the haunted garage. Too many kids came out of that one completely freaked out and crying… Next year, however… MWAAAAHAAHAAAAHAAA… Look out kids!!!!
It was a dark and stormy... err... bright and spooky afternoon in the park that day. Jim decided to hang out at the slide; his diet had been a huge success!
A big couple of weekends… Mum took LR and her best friend to go and see the stage performance of Mamma Mia, RJ and Dad spent the day building projects and eating sushi, RJ catches a birthday party with his friend C., and Dad took RJ and LR off to the aquarium!
LR and I. are SUPER excited to be seeing the live performance of Mamma Mia!
