2010 Halloween Party

Posted on November 1, 2010October 13, 2026 by Libby Withnall

We had another fantastic night at our Annual Halloween Party. Kevin arrived back home (after a week in the USA) to find us in the midst of preparations. But before long it was time to get in our costumes. I think the stars were our pups. Introducing Elvis and Snow White.

Isn’t Rosie so cute?

Christy chose to be Padme from Star Wars…. because she wanted to have a gun :-).

Amy was Sally from A Nightmare Before Christmas.

Kevin was a highland cow…

and I was a hippie.

At 3pm our guest started to arrive…I that nearly everyone goes to effort to get dressed up.

The were games and fun to be had by the kids…

And the adults got to sit and chat…

And then there was the food. As you can we are all partial to desert.

Amy and her friends made these ones..

and these by friend Angela…

My weekend

Posted on October 24, 2010October 14, 2026 by Libby Withnall

has looked very much like this….

I did take a bit of time to film the vegetable garden but I used my i-phone and can’t seem to upload it to flickr. Today it’s rained all day or I would have reshot it for you. I will do it again (with the video camera) asap. Otherwise, life has been pretty uneventful in our house lately…which is why I haven’t had much to blog about :-(.

More school holiday fun

Playing the latest and greatest in TV games…

Making cupcakes…

Roller skating…

A trip to the beach…

The girls playing in the pool (still too cold for me) and spa.

Baking gifts for my parents wedding annivesary.

And continuing to take photos for Picture Spring.

I’ve also been working on a few organising projects and have decorated for Halloween. Will share very soon.

School holidays so far….

First things first….the girls have actually been along rather well. Here is Amy showing Christy how to correctly water the garden. This is one of the jobs they can earn tickets for, which they can use to watch TV or use the computer.

We made our Halloween invitations.

Christy has been attending tennis camp the last few mornings. It’s the first time she’s done it and she’d really enjoyed it.

Amy and I had a day out to see the Scorcerer’s Appentice (which we both loved), have lunch and do some shopping. Christy had fun with Nan – swimming and playing schools.

And there have been plenty of girls over to play. Yesterday there were 5 as Amy’s best friend Sarah had slept over. They go out for walks, swim in the pool or spa and do plenty of playing on the computer.

Me… I’ve been doing my normal jobs, trying to tidy the scrapbook room (when it’s not been over-run with kids) and attending to the girls. Also got to catch up with Leanne yesterday when we took Sarah back home.
