Happy...

It's that time of year again! Bigger than Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving, especially if you're below a certain age, Halloween accounts for 70-80% of (non-obese) American children's sugar intake for the year.

And so once again the pumpkin carving, dressing up, and barbecues took place. The fact that it's an unseasonably warm 22C+ at the moment deterred no one, and several witches, ghosts, and even a group of four-year-old doctors made it up to our second floor flat. There was a moment of panic when it seemed that the candy might run dry, but Hannah and her MBA took control of the supply chain and we were left with a few lollies (for next year?)



Witch Christine cast a spell and turned her daughter into a (super-cute) chicken! Vince remained unaffected.



Logan, in full tiger stripes and equipped with a roar.



Sofia - a big step up from last year.


Maya displays the artistic talents of her mother in her parrot outfit.



Tiger vs. sheep. Given who's inside that sheep costume, I don't fancy Logan's chances.



What evil thing is this that Patrick carves?



A pumpkin with hair!



Tamara spent a little too long enjoying the autumn sun today.
