Happy Halloween!



Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween.  When I was growing up, it wasn’t celebrated much around here in Australia.  Even though it wasn’t that common a holiday, my family and I used to go all out in celebration of it.  We decorated the house, made graveyards for the front yard, and even had a smoke machine one year too!  And every year I would go trick or treating with my brother and cousin and sometimes a friend from school or down the street. 
That pumpkin costume was awesome!  Mum made it from crepe paper and it was filled with balloons.  The balloons popped whenever I walked through a doorway. 

Of course you have to be a vampire on Halloween.  The white stuff is flour.  My Mum, Aunty and Nan used to hide behind fences and throw flour at us.  Was great haha!
Halloween is such a fun time. I love to decorate the house and fix up lolly bags for the little kiddies who come round, it’s great that the Halloween celebration is definitely picking up now.  
This year, we had the most trick or treaters ever!  Over 50 came visiting! Which is ridiculous considering we had only10-15 little ghouls previous years.  Needless to say we had to do some emergency trips to the supermarket!


 We had a great Halloween and hope every one else did too!
