 Lyra: she's always on the stool when I'm in kitchen now. Also I can't leave any food on the bench...she eats it.

 Eva: she like to swing REALLY high...

and so does Chloe!

Halloween 2015

I thought I'd share some photos from our Halloween. I seriously love dressing up!

We have a very Harry Potter obsessed Chloe (luckily, otherwise I'd have to disown her!) so this year I decided to do a Harry Potter theme for our decorations. SO. MUCH. FUN.

I did a fair bit of research, pinterest and the like. But as usual bumbled my way through using a mix of tutorials, photos, imagination and flying by the seat of my pants!

It all turned out pretty well though!

 Just follow the spiders...

 Oh my gosh my Sorting Hat! I was SO happy with how he turned out, seriously, just look at him!

He was surprisingly easy to make too! I made a hat from thick card and sticky taped some arch shapes to make his eye sockets and mouth. I sprayed the whole thing with quilt basting spray and just draped the fabric on!

Mandrakes and a wand. I made two wands, but Chloe used one for part of her costume.

 Potions kit.

Eva was Dyna Mite, one of the Lalaloopsy dolls. I used this tutorial for the wig.

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

Lyra: she's discovered the stool gives her access to the kitchen bench. If the big girls are on there she goes up to them "Coco, OFF!" and climbs up herself!! 

Chloe and Eva: pumpkin painting for Halloween!

 Lyra; She was surprisingly happy on the plane for our trip to Singapore! The leg room that the bassinet seat gave us definitely helped that!

 Eva: exploring our hotel. We found the pool as you can tell from the splashes on her dress!

Chloe: More exploring, this is at Clarke Quay, just over the road from our hotel.

We had a day up in the city on Friday. We go every year to go to Santaland in Myer and have a look at all the Christmas decorations. There was even a giant blow up snow globe that the girls had a play in! I just love Christmas!!
