It was Halloween today! We had a beautiful spring night. The weather is so warm so we decided to grill burgers on the deck before taking the kids trick-or-treating. Here's Ella and Owen waiting for dinner.

All dressed up and ready to go! Yes, I made the jack-o-lantern scarecrow! We bought a regular scarecrow and I painted him orange and made him a sign.

Beautiful Ladybug - in New Zealand they call them ladybirds

My USA astronaut. We bought this costume when were back home last August.


The pohutakawas are already in bloom (the bright red flowers behind the kids). They say this is a sign that we'll have a warm summer.
Done for the night and racing back home. That's our house second in from the right.
