Party at the McDougald's
Halloween in Australia is not that big of a deal. It's starting to catch on, but not a lot of people celebrate this holiday. So one of my American friends and I put together a great celebration.
Then we show the Aussie's how to Halloween.
Things needed for a successful Halloween party:
- Spooky bouncy house - - CHECK
- Awesome face painter - - CHECK
- Lots of food provided by the guests - - CHECK
- Pictures that don't turn sideways when you download them - - What the Hell??!!! Seriously, this is making me way to upset. I'm going to post the pics anyway and you all can turn your head sideways.
The really cute tiger and kitty cat are the first set of twins of Lindi
Hope (red cape) is helping Lindi (Mum in the middle) hold her new set of twin boys. Angela is holding her beautiful daughter.
What I don't have pictures of are the great "pumpkin" carving contest entries. I have to do the "" marks, because there were only a few pumpkins. We also had carved cantaloupe, honeydew, watermelon. That is because American pumpkins are freakishly expensive here. $20 and up for a small one. Zach carved our watermelon like it was throwing up. Cool thing about melons is they glow red when you put a candle inside.
I also don't have pictures of families or adults in their costumes. We had two Guess-How-Many jar's. One was filled with ear shaped gummies, and the other with chocolate skulls. Prizes were given for best adult costume and best carved "pumpkin". The winner was actually a cantaloupe.
There were roughly 50 kids there that we took trick-or-treating. We set up 8 houses on one street that were expecting the huge group. I also think that all 50 kids may have been in the bouncy house at one time.
Madison was a medieval princess. Zach was a creature from "The Village". Lucy was a dead school girl, then a princess, then a dead princess, and finally settled on a dog. Angielee was a devil. She was actually nothing at first because there was no time to put a costume together, but then Jeanney (before mentioned American friend) showed up as an angel. A quick wardrobe change and some face paint and Walllllaaaaa! Instant devil. Brandon was a big stick in the mud. Not actually. He just wouldn't dress up

AWESOME PARTY! I'm picturing the 50 kids in the bouncy house. Priceless!
Love to read the updates. This way outdid our ward party of chili of course and I made the Lion House buttermilk scones. I convinced 4 other women to help me fry it all. You will have to have a mock Thanksgiving. Maybe serve walla-be.
