Halloween catch up...

So Jack had decided that he wanted to be a T-Rex for Halloween so I did a little look around on the net and found some really easy to follow photo instructions on someone's blog about how to make a T-Rex papier mache mask and then he decided he wanted to be a Triceratops instead!! I used the same basic structural ideas as the T-Rex head and changed the shape etc to make a Triceratops head instead. Jack and I went shopping and he picked out the fabric for his costume, apparently Triceratops' are orange, and I made a simple shirt and pants for his costume. I stole this photo of my friend Tricia's facebook because I didn't get a very good photo of his costume. Here are the boys moving in for the Trick or Treating.
All ready to head off Trick or Treating. How cute do all the kids look.Jack and I made a bat pinata.Which kept the kids amused for awhile. No matter how thin I think I'm making pinata's they always take forever to bust.And then in for dinner in the spooky dining room for the adults... and the kids had their own little table set up in the theatre room and they got to watch Dora Halloween while they had their dinner which made it much easier for the adults to enjoy their dinner.It was a really fun night. I love the mood of Halloween, it such a good night for a party.


The next day Jack and I went to my Aunt & Uncle's place for a farewell afternoon for my cousin Shane and his fiance Claire. They are getting married in Hawaii on New Year's Eve and then will be going to America which is where Claire is from. Shane had brought Claire to our house to go Trick or Treating with the kids the night before too.

This is my Grandma, my Aunt Marie, my Mum and my Aunt Jenny all looking very festively Hawaiian in their lei's.
