The days before Halloween were filled with sorting through decorations and preparing for the party. This year we made our own piñata and carved our “jack-o-melons” ahead of time.

We’ll have pictures from the massive party coming in the next couple of days, so definitely check back in!

RJ was planning on being a witch for Halloween... but ended up changing his mind later.

This year, our Halloween party was the biggest ever. Every kid from both of the Year 1 classes at LR’s school was invited, as well as all the children on our street and a bunch of RJ’s friends. It was absolutely crazy, but we did our best to keep them busy. Activities included the Haunted Garage, a “Yucky” dip, a piñata, a broom race, a treasure hunt, making disembodied hands and the grand finale, a total, all-out assault on Dad with water balloons.

LR, as Supergirl, decided the world needed rescuing.

RJ and Mum put together a great snapping turtle costume.

"Real" pumpkins aren't cheap here, but melons certainly are.
