Kate dresses up as Mrs. Figg, a character from Harry Potter.
I think the main reason Maya wanted to be an Eighties Girl is because she would get to wear make-up. Love that blue eye shadow!

Halloween
Maya dressed up as an "Eighties Girl" for Halloween. She wore my old dance costume that I had from my Year 6 Dance Group. Her favourite TV show these days is Full House (as we were heading out to go trick-or-treating she started telling people that she was Stephanie from that show) and she thinks the 80's were really cool. Well, obviously that's correct - just look at this rocking outfit! 
Josh has decided to go with an Australian theme for his Jack-o-lantern each year. This year he did the Harbour Bridge and even added a small shark fin below it. Maya went with a happy face and I did a spider in its web.
There are not very many lollies that Maya got that she really likes (she is way more particular about her lollies than I am!). So at the end of the night she took out what she wanted to keep (mostly chocolates) then we took the rest to a local orthodontist who gives kids $2 per pound of Halloween candy they turn in. She ended up making $4 which she was much more excited about than the lollies.

Those are good costumes. That's a brilliant idea the orthodontist has, but what does HE do with the goodies - eat them???
Great costumes and very impressive pumpkins, especially the bridge.
What a great plan the orthodontist has.
I haven't read your blog in ages. I love the photos from your garden. Great bridge, too, Josh.
Gosh, Emma - I remember you wearing that outfit! You were cute in it too.
Dad
I kept my dance costume for my daughter to dress up in too!
I love Josh's Jack-o-lantern idea.
