We held an intimate, but nevertheless fun, Halloween party on Saturday night. Here are some of the photos:

Adam's scary drawings

Adam drew some scary pictures which we hung on the wall.

Halloween cupcakes

I made Halloween cupcakes (and by the way, since when did red and yellow make a funny shade of pink? No matter how I tried they just came out the wrong shade. You can’t quite tell here. In fact, here they look half decent. And anyway, the kids didn’t care.)

shady character...

Riley started the evening as Spiderman, but by the end of the night ended up as this interesting looking character.

scurvy pirate!

I started the evening as a unimpressive looking pirate and ended it looking even more unimpressive…as you can see.

Aussies, did you do anything for Halloween? Or are you still trying to resist the temptation?
