Still playing "catch up",that is the story of my life! I can't help it, I am busier than others at this time of year seeing as from August to December there are major events for us to celebrate. So on to another post.....

"Ah coconuts!" we had a hard time picking out our Halloween costumes this year! Our celebrations started with attending a fabulous Harry Potter Party hosted by Dumbledore and McGonagall. ( we went via the Floo network, hence the charcoal!) 

We were nearly the Fa Mulan family, with with Levi as Li Shang the army captain, Torrie as Fa Li, the mother, Emma as Grandmother Fa ( her idea!) and Charlotte as Fa Mulan. In the end we decided to be Never Land Pirates.

We also had the girls help with the pumpkin carving this year! It never ceases to amaze me how brave Charlotte can be.

Our scary faces!

The finished product, pretty impressive!

The other wonderful part of our Halloween celebration was the ward party, we had a lot of fun and even won a prize for the coolest and biggest prop, whaddaya think?!

Its to carry our loot in.... 

and as I said we're Neverland Pirates, complete with a sachet of pixie dust to wear around our necks!

One pooped out pirate, too much partying!
