Halloween in Australia

Halloween is just starting to catch on here in Australia. They still focus more on the scary side of things but have started bringing in pumpkins to carve in the last two years.

I made witch hat cookies, one of the pros to staying home with the kids is that I have time to look up cute ideas and then make them!! Izzy was a purple fairy and Miles was a construction worker.

Here are the kids we went trick or treating with. The Kitchins four boys and the Annos son and daughter as well as the Betts two boys.


Trick or treating is about the same except only every 5th house or so participates. A neighbour on our road actually sent out a short note a week ahead of time saying she was bringing 8 kids around to trick or treat so people were prepared with candy!!


Clint had to help Izzy out after about 4 blocks of walking!

Ned and Izzy love spending time with each other. We didn't even have to ask them to hold hands, they did it on their own for the last block!
I'm sure you noticed the lack of warm clothes, I think it was about 20 degrees and since it was spring it was still light out at 7 pm. Probably the only time Izzy will ever be able to wear a sleeveless costume.
