2nd Annual Wherry Halloween Party!





As promised, here is the round up of our 2nd annual Wherry Halloween party! The photos of course do not do it justice - we spent hours decorating outside and the place looked spectacular!












We had carved our pumpkins during the week; would you believe we actually had to do it separately as we are so busy we couldn't find time to do it together as a family!! Between work for The Awesome One, the Social One and the Eldest One, plus running art lessons for me we just didn't have an afternoon at home all together. So we did them on different days depending on who was home. But the important thing I guess is that they got done and looked very cool!



I worked hard on the costumes; the Awesome One was Obi Wan Kenobi, I was Princess Leia, Little Dude was Luke Skywalker and Miss P was R2D2. The girls bucked the Star Wars trend and went as Red Riding Hood, Wednesday Addams (with blonde hair) and Zombie Belle (from Beauty and the Beast).

I had made the Obi Wan costume a few months ago for a thing the Awesome One had at work, but I made mine, Little Dude's and Miss P's all during the week. Miss Em's was partly recycled from last year, and the hood needed modifying as well. Eden bought hers and Sam made hers actually all on her own which was impressive! She also did her own zombie makeup which was pretty cool looking!








And I just really couldn't get over the cuteness factor of Little Miss Penelope in her R2TuTu costume. How amazingly adorable is she?!


I am terrible at taking photos during the actual party it seems. I have some but nowhere near as many as I should. So next year I promise to take photos of each awesomely dressed guest! We'll be having a costume parade next year as well, to make the costume contest a bit easier to vote in.

All in all, it was a fantastically fun night, and again reiterated just how much I love Halloween!!!

Only 11 days now till we fly out on our trip, so we'll see a lot of you very very soon! :)

    Amazing! The decoration has been done stupendously. Also, I loved the dresses. I just have to book an event venue for the Halloweens this year because my house is under renovation and I don’t think it will get over by that time. Anyways, it was lovely coming across this post. My husband is also going to like this idea a lot.

Summer!

I've been seeing all these photos of snow everywhere courtesy of Facebook and Instagram. Can I say I'm kind of jealous at the moment? I always loved summer, the consistency of long, hot, sunny days just made me happy. But as I get older it starts to wear a bit thin when it's ridiculously hot.  According to the news, our summer hasn't been too hot (although it feels like it has been), and we've had a few milder days and colder nights in the last week or so which was awesome. We have had 15 days over 35 celcius (95F), in January, and I know there were a few in December and November too. But today is another one, and according to forecasts we are set for a record breaking heat wave over the next week. It's supposed to get up to 42c (110F), and not go below 39 celcius (103), for at least the next week possibly longer. I got a text message from the girls' high school earlier today advising about the extreme weather for next week which I've never had bef

Time To Say Goodbye

Hey Folks out there in internet land. This year is heading towards a close and it's got me thinking about what I had hoped to achieve this year and what I haven't gotten done.... In the last few years we've been thrown some pretty major shit and each year end I say "good riddance to this  year and here's to next year being better!" And the next year isn't better so it's getting kind of old.  Since 2012 (so five years), we've dealt with 3 miscarriages, an extremely difficult pregnancy that apparently should have resulted in two babies but didn't, a busted back, an ectopic pregnancy that nearly cost me my life and did cost my fertility. That was followed by pneumonia then a Femoral hernia. In addition to that, we've had to deal with me losing the ability to use my right leg and foot for over a year, more damage to my back, more hospital visits than I can count and stress beyond all belief. There has also been stress from teenage kid

2013, A Look Back

Image
Today is a stay at home do nothing kind of day - I don't even plan on getting out of my pj's. And so as I sit here and reflect on the past year it occurs to me that it has been pretty full on! So I thought I'd do a post on what happened, month by month. So much can change in 12 months, it's interesting to look back and remember things.....I wonder what 2014 will bring? January ...saw as it always does, Miss Emily's birthday and mine as well as a big cross country move! On the way Penelope gave us quite the scare before we knew she was Penelope that is, and proved to us that she really is destined to be a superhero!   My Dad and The Awesome One packing our shipping container for the move Driving across the Nullarbor Plain on the way to Western Australia February came and we found out that our Little Lord Nibbler was actually going to be Little Lady Nibbler! The kids started school for the year, The Awesome One set up my art studio and I star
