If you were to visit us on Halloween

…you would have been welcomed by:

Halloween-0190

An unfortunate baseball player who is now among the walking dead.

Halloween-0188

A skilled ninja:

Halloween-0201

I must say Halloween felt very safe with him around.

Halloween-0191

Another member of the walking dead:

Halloween-0184 

A young girl who is ruler of the zombie world.

We also ran into…

Halloween-0211

 A pirate,

Halloween-0204

or was she a…

Halloween-0131

butterfly?

Halloween-0125

  No, I believe she was a…

Halloween-0272

witch.

Halloween-0271 

This young girl has many career opportunities.  However, she does have a hard time making decisions.

If you came to visit, you would have been greeted by the head…

Halloween-0262

witch. 

Halloween-0260

She’s nice, and dating a cowboy. (who seemed to miss being photographed this year.)

If you came to visit…

you would have been tired at the end of the day.  Because…

Halloween-0162

Personal Hygiene and makeup for this crew started early.  We tried to enhance their excellent features for this special holiday.

Halloween-0169

…and it was a must to take some photos in the best light of the day; early morning.

If you came to visit, you would have wanted a nap, but there was no time for napping. We had to join the goblins for Halloween parties at the local school for creatures and unusual characters.

Halloween-0231

If you came to visit, you would have been given the award for biggest party animal after you went to 3 parties.

Halloween-0224

Halloween-0248

If you came to visit, and got hungry…

you could have joined us at our spooky table for…

pumpkin-shaped pizza.

Or, you could have joined the characters and their friends…

Halloween-0258

Halloween-0265

for door to door candy mooching.

Halloween-0275

Halloween-0279

…and if candy and pizza just were not enough you could have always joined the little monsters and their friends for donuts and hot chocolate in our kitchen.

Halloween-0296

(oh look, the cowboy can be seen in the background.)

If you came to visit, you could have stayed home with the cowboy and passed out over 1,000 pieces of candy.  He is a good conversationalist, and he would have enjoyed your company.

If you didn’t come to visit; our door is always open.

The head witch loves guests of all kinds; even if you are a member of the walking dead.

If you didn’t come to visit, it’s okay…

The head witch took so many pictures you will have missed nothing.

(as is evidence on your computer screen)

The head witch is not certain she wants to be a witch forever, so she’s brushing up on her photography skills.

Halloween-02732

Maybe she will pass along the title of head witch to this little cutie; and take pictures forever.

Because pictures are what she loves.

…but playing a witch on Halloween takes a close second.

What a wonderful recap of your day, you captured it perfectly, makes me want to hop on a plane and fly 24 hours from Australia to visit your home and be welcomed by you all! How fabulous. x

Oh wow I love all the creative costumes and you did an amazing job on the makeup. Must have taken a long time but it looks very "real." I love your witch outfit too! I have to say that I am not sure what I think about all the zombie costumes this year. I don't remember many people getting so gory at Halloween when I was a kid. But I'm sure some did. Love that little Tess had to be 3 different things.

Loved this post, what great fun you all have there. We don't really celebrate it in England, well not in a big way, it's very low key here. You work so hard to give your children fun times and great memories, it's fab.
I love your new blog design and layout, you've done a really super job :) x
