A Green Halloween

Actually a little bit of red too.

 

  Vampire, Frog Zombie Man (frog was once used for a rainforest party), Robin Hood and "Green Girl". I showed Mr Bowerbird the photos and he laughed wryly, "Oh I hope that one's going on your blog"!

 Of course it's going on the blog!

Checkout how much those kids have grown since Halloween 2010. The Big Bowerbird is getting some good mileage out of that costume. A bit of green and red that year too.

The little Bowerbird put on this face for me before she left, but it was out in full force come bedtime, the post sugar slump is never good.

  

  Frog Zombie Man stole my children

 Robin Hood back from the dead

 

 Someone had to stay home to hand out the cakes. One of my Vegie Group friends snapped this of me, where would I be without that magnet fly-screen?

 All lovingly prepared by the children and my mum.  

Choosing which monster cake or biscuit you were taking home was a serious decision for visiting trick or treaters.

Even more serious was the examination of the lolly loot when the kids got home.  I am not showing this picture to our dentist. Some very serious tooth brushing this week.

Came across this via Mamabake's Facebook page, perhaps next year.
Do you celebrate Halloween?

Happy Halloween

I'm bug lady, I think the others are self explanatory.  A great afternoon trick or treating and evening partying.  Some awesome costumes to admire, my favourite was Edward Scissor Hands and a pretty amazing Corpse Bride. Think I'll pass on that smooch evil clown.

Halloween Paper Lanterns

Milk bottle lanterns lit up with tea candles.

 

This huntsman has taken up residency at our place.  He lives between the window and fly screen and creeps out scaring the little one.

  
   
 

 
 

Tissue paper lanterns - they were a bit thick and not so transparent so we gave them pumpkin faces. To see the beginning of  these creations: http://landcare.blogspot.com/2011/10/making-mess-balloons.html

More visits from the ravens

 

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting
On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door;
And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming,
And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor;
And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor
Shall be lifted - nevermore!
