Halloween in Sydney

Halloween in Sydney was a success.  I wish I would have known how great it was going to be a few months ago so I could have saved myself a lot of stress! We got to trick or treat twice, once in Chatswood a couple days before Halloween at the outdoor food stands, and in Mosman with our new friends the Larsen family that just moved in a few weeks ago.  We also had a Ward Halloween party, and Liam's little love Charolette had a costume party a few weeks ago so our Halloween costumes definitely got used quite a bit.  I was so happy when even Liam's little pre school said they could dress up, and the teachers went through a lot of work to teach the kids about carving pumpkins. haha something most of them had never done! 

Sydney has never been safer with these two crime stoppers on the go!

Ward Halloween Party! Gui and Luisa were awesome enough to come as the cutest nerds I have ever seen.

We went trick or treating in the Mosman suburbs because I read online that they are more likely to have the most houses participating.  It was definitely different in the sense that about every 5th house was handing out candy and you could tell if the outside of their gates or fences were decorated. 

There was also a lot of stairs and steep drive ways!  So we got a ton of exercise!

With it being Spring pumpkins are not everywhere and are more expensive so this family got creative!  I have to say the strangest part about Halloween here was that it was really hot, and beautiful spring flowers, trees and bushes are blooming everywhere instead of fall leaves and colors. 

Thanks to the awesome Larsen family for letting us tag along in their hood. 

Mikey started looking for anywhere to take a break and rest, after he found this bench he was officially done and  I had to carry him the rest of the way. 

and of course the best part of trick or treating, dumping it all out, trading, organizing, binging, hiding... whatever your style it brought back so many memories!
Happy Halloween!
