Woody & Toby are coming too, although Toby won't wear his pumpkin ears and keeps pulling them off! lol This is all very new for us as Halloween is getting bigger in Aus but it's not main stream yet! The stores were selling costumes for the first time this year so we thought we would have a party and the kids are so excited, it's Great!

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Happy Halloween everyone We had a big helping of Halloween last week.

Go to work and then home to light up the lights and hand out candy. We'll be watching Halloween movies inbetween trick or treaters. DH said that since we missed a week of Halloween at home we should leave up all the decorations and watch the rest of the Halloween movies through the weekend
