Halloween



Halloween is not quite as popular here as it is in the states and in some areas, it is quite discouraged.   There was a pocket of kids that trick or treated in our area and we hooked up with them.   Carter went home with a friend from school and those two and another friend made their own costumes and did their own makeup....zoombies!!    Taylor was again a cute little Minnie Mouse and Kennedy went as “Red”.   Kennedy’s friend Molly joined us for trick or treating.   We all had a ball!

























This crazy lady is a new friend of mine....Bronwyn Hartley!

A HOUSE!!!




FoxRowan? Okay, we have never lived in a house that has a name but there is always a first. This house dates back to 1925 and at the time was only a very small portion of what exist today (top left room was raised and made part of current structure). The original owner, Mrs Fox, sold the property to a developer, Mr Rowan. And the rest is history....for the Hobsons to write









Above is a picture of the girls on the last day in the apartment....

We must admit that living in a 100m2 apartment for four months makes you appreciate certain things that maybe we were taking for granted.  Small things...


1. Somewhere to tell the kids to go..  2.Anywhere to go to get away...

But, we started this adventure with the thought that our family would become closer and spend more time together...

We are all ready to move to a larger home!









MOVING DAY.....






Our new next door neighbor provided us with the below pictures of what our house looked like prior to the renovation......big change, huh?
