All Hallows' Eve Eve

If you haven't already, don't forget to sign up for my Nanowrimo writing group! The sign-up sheet is here and will be up and available till 31 October.

We have yet another visitor from New Zealand this weekend - our friend Mark! We took him out and about in Austin today, and tonight we're all heading out to a Hallowe'en party. My costume is less than imaginative, but I'll take some photos anyway! It's strange to live in a country where Hallowe'en is a widely observed celebration rather than something on the fringe - we had friends in New Zealand who celebrated it in a big way, but that was certainly not the norm. I love it. Any excuse to dress up and eat sweets!



LOML contemplates a second pair of boots. Slightly less subtle than his first.



We stopped off at the trailers down South Congress for an icy drink.



I would love to know if the Popeye flavour has spinach in it.



Hatted.

That dress is so sweet! Oh Andrea, I'm scared now of committing to Nanowrimo, but i kind of DO want to do it. I have some hours of humming and harring left to decide I suppose.

Hope you have a great time! It should be quite eventful in Austin.

Personally, I think ol' Austin Frigid should buy that second pair of boots.

G'morning Andrea (8:30 am Sydney time)!

Starting Nano-lame-oh now, but thought I would check in here first.

I could not miss the caption on LOYL t-shirt...my son constantly recites the 'beached as, bro' version...super cool! :))
