Hallowe'en

James had never carved a pumpkin. Not really the done thing in New Zealand. So we decided to rectify that situation. I had bought mini pumpkins to decorate the place, but they were not ideal for carving. With Davy and Steph here, this was great time to get our carve on. Behold, the pumpkin creations:

Davy joined our Katimavik Group on Hallowe'en, so we decided to celebrate the holiday by getting dressed up and drunk. We trolled second hand shops for costume pieces and ended up with some decent costumes. I decided to be a spider, with inspiration taken from Mr. Dressup. He had the coolest spider costume in his Tickle Trunk.


Davy was an accident victim.


Steph decided to go for the fairy princess look.


And James was a zombie. But a zombie that could run.



My favorite part of the evening was walking to the bar. We were taking a picture when a group of people started to walk by. They appologized for getting into the frame. We convinced them to be part of our picture.

Later, crossing through the park, Davy decided to mount a statue of a horse.

While he was on the horse, he got attacked by zombies. Luckily, they couldn't climb the statue to get him!
