Halloween seems to be growing on the Australians as there were more Halloween items in the stores this year even though the majority of it was geared toward the dark and evil side of things. I even had a lady at one of the stores we frequent here ask E what she was going to be for Halloween and when she told her "a butterfly" the lady seemed rather shocked and said, "why that's not scary at all!" There were a lot more houses accepting trick-or-treaters this year. The tradition taking off here is if the house has a balloon attached to the gate or door, then it's accepting trick-or-treaters.
Two days before, we carved the pumpkins and roasted the seeds. A went for an "RSPCA" themed jack-o-lantern requesting a paw print and E decided on a more traditional route for hers. B and I did the carving, with A cleaning hers out on her own as much as she could, but E decided it was "yucky" and "eww"to feel the pulp and seeds! Although, she did enjoy the roasted seeds with both girls saying they tasted like popcorn! We took the girls, our angel and monarch butterfly, to the same street as last year where we met up with our friends and their kids. The girls had a blast, but they are always happy no matter what's going on! E was happily singing "It's a Happy Halloween" and "Trick-or Treat" while she walked down the street and A enjoyed getting to walk ahead of the grown-ups with her friends. As usual, we had a great time as did the girls who received lots of candy (which neither eat very much of) and were beyond ready for bed by 7:30! Enjoy the pics and God bless!
