TRICK OR TREAT!

HALLOWEEN NIGHT

Some photo from Halloween night. We had a really fun night. What I thought was just going to be me running around trying to take a photo of Travis in his costume, turned out to be a little costume party at our place, starting with Wendy and Bill coming over all dressed up, we were able to take Travis trick or treating to two houses on our street, who were expecting us, the family with "the Canadian". We had some visitors come by trick or treating and we took Travis over to a co workers place from the school to get even more loot! He did quite well, almost filled his little pumpkin sack, considering he only went to a few homes. After a sugar high and a very exciting night, and an extended bed time, Travis crashed hard and we enjoyed an amazing chicken roast that Wayne cooked for us all. I have such an awesome husband :) Then we sat around and ate Travis candy! Now I understand why my mom always wanted to "check" our bags for "bad candy". I'm on to you now. And it's a great idea. So we did have Halloween over here in Australia, and it was a great night. Even little brother participated, lending his home to the Great Pumpkin!

Ok nothing to do with Halloween, but Wendy brought this over for little brother! It's so awesome

 And now on to Halloween...

Who's more excited???

Happy Halloween Everyone!

Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllo-ween Everybody! Halloween is definitely not the same over here. There are a few decorations you can buy and a few bags of candy in the stores. There are pumpkins in a few grocery stores but they are $3.49/kilo each! Yikes! Luckily we were given ours (thanks), and we decided to decorate our outside of our house even though no one else on our street or neighbourhood did! But I love Halloween, and Wayne loves it maybe even more, haha, which is awesome. Halloween is now a part of my heritage, haha, or so I will pretend, it is at least part of my childhood/adulthood/life, and its awesome!

We won't be trick or treating tonight as its not common here and well Travis is a bit young anyways for us to bother to go look for it. Next year we will throw our own party, once we are not pregnant/having newborns/travelling at that time. But we will be taking Travis around to one house for trick or treating tonight, pictures will follow. 

Here's our house and pumpkin, I think we did pretty good considering everyone probably thinks we are nuts, witches, or American.....which we are not.
