So every year since the Color Run first came to Perth, we have participated. Even twice in one year! We've done it as a family of four, with my sister and her family, with me pregnant and with Lyra a baby in the Ergo.

This year we did it as a family of five, with all of us walking!

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...

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!
