Halloween

I love Halloween. It's not fashionable to love Halloween in Australia - in fact, it used to be considered downright unpatriotic.

More recently, however, retailers have started to see it as another way to make money, so costumes and decorations do appear in the supermarkets. I still have to buy my candy corn and mallow pumpkins from a special US foods website (which makes MY house the best to trick or treat!) ...

Our old house used to look great at Halloween, being a fairly creepy looking house even when not decorated.


This house is probably just a bit too recently renovated. But we made a minor effort.

Kid 2 is a vampire with a great deal of attitude. Kid 1 is happy Mafia (or Justin Bieber). Kid on far left is Kid 1's BFF, and the tiny poppets are his half-siblings (one from each parent - Modern Family indeed).

Looks like great fun! The ghosts, goblins, and witches will begin circulating here in a few hours. Meanwhile, you're probably done with the trick and treats and already in the sky somewhere. Bon voyage!
