Halloween

This was, in a sense, our first Halloween. Simon was away last year, I was at home looking after Gastro Boy and Ashley went out with friends but wasn't quite back to her normal self after being Gastro Girl. We ended up at a great party in the afternoon and then on to Trick or Treating in our neighbourhood. I'm sure it's self explanatory but out motley crew consisted of two witches, a pirate and Buzz Lightyear himself.

I'm sending half of this 'candy' back to Oz with Simon next week so you can all rot your teeth instead of our kids!!!!

Simon heads home this weekend for the Australian Masters in Melbourne and then the Open in Sydney. He gets 2 weeks off in between the 2 events to play catch up and I, of course, am vey happy and excited that he has this wonderful opportunity to spend time with family and friends. . . . . well i'm working on it anyway! Take care of him for us love Cara, Ash & Liam xx

Pumpkin Patch

With Fall (Autumn) comes Fall Festivals and Pumpkin Patches. This year we visited a Pumpkin Patch at a Christmas Tree Farm believe it or not. It was a bit woeful from our perspective but the kids had fun which is all that counts. The kids enjoyed climbing over the pumpkin patches, loading up wagons and carting them around.
