Halloween 2009

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.

Solving the Turtle Problem

(when about to get RJ out of the shower)

RJ: (carefully adjusting something on the shower drain) Careful daddy.

Dad: Why?

RJ: I’m making a trap.

Dad: A trap? For who?

RJ: The animals. It’s going to catch all the animals.

Dad: I didn’t realise there was such a wildlife problem in here.

RJ: Yes. This will stop the cats and the turtles.

Dad: That’s a relief. They’ve been keeping me up at night.

RJ: (looking annoyed) Don’t be silly. This is serious!
