Our 4th Annual Halloween Extravaganza went even better than I'd hoped! The creativity and fun of our friends never fails to astound me. I've got a lot more photos to upload - including some of the Snook's greatest culinary creation to-date, the Meat Cake - but here's one to tide you over:

Jolly Swagman, Steve Irwin, and Ned Kelly

Jolly Swagman, Steve Irwin, and Ned Kelly

The Snook and I had settled on a theme of "Heroes of Australia" for our costumes this year, and to our surprise Andrew's costume fit right in as well. I'm dressed as the Jolly Swagman from Waltzing Matilda. (Note my authentic cork hat, billy can, and the jumbuck in me tucker bag.) Andrew is, of course, dressed as Steve Irwin. Complete with a scary looking barb poking out of his chest. (When he came in the door I was like, "You DIDN'T!" And he was all, "BUT I DID!" Brilliant.) And last is the Snook, dressed as Australia's most famous bushranger and outlaw: Ned Kelly. (You can admire the craftsmanship of his armour by comparing it to the originals.)

Now if you'll excuse me, I have some meat cake to eat for breakfast...

Steve Irwin jokes as such are BAD taste. You have no right. Halloween should remain in the USA. Do not spread germs here, it should be quarantined with all the other pests @ customs.

Oh, bite me anonymous. Kris has every right to spread her USA germs here, especially amongst those of us who love her and her culture. Halloween is loads of fun and no one is forcing you to participate. What have you done to perpetuate/advance Australian culture lately?

For what it's worth, dickhead, the guy who dressed as Steve Irwin IS Australian. Mull on that for a while.

Hey, I'll agree to that. I never said it was classy! :)
