I love living in Wellington, every event is made to feel special and individual, everyone is happy, smiling and content in each others company no matter the event. It's just fantastic!
Starting our day today Bethany and I went to our good friends house to see Denyse, Beth and Maddie. We had a lovely morning, with the girls playing so fantastically together. I have never seen Bethany get on so well and so calmly with another child. We had a lovely morning and the have the most amazing view from their deck (which of course I had to take a photo of!).
This morning we were also excited to watch my gorgeous friend Monique on the Good Morning show. Monique is an actress and a children's entertainer, along with her friend Paul they are Zappo and Zappolina. I am so excited for her as she has utterly amazing talent. The TV show was to promote the fact they were doing a show tonight at Capital E for Halloween at the Medieval Madness. I was so excited and Bethany was really excited to see her 'magic' friend on the TV reliving the story of how Monique found money behind her ear!! Then this afternoon I was got so excited at the idea of getting a pumpkin....but I couldn't get one! There were none to be seen anywhere and the supermarkets were sold out. Damn!
However though it didn't really matter as we came home and Bethany opened some special presents from our family back in the UK. Grandma Dawes sent Bethany a fairy pumpkin dress (which is just fabulous!) and Grandma and Grandad Lee sent Bethany a ghostly chocolate lolly making kit, a Halloween torch and some ghastly face paints!
We then headed down to the city to Capital E where they had the most amazing Halloween celebrations. A whole area filled with special Halloween effects, props, people in costumes, face painting, trick or treat doors (with real scary people behind!) and a huge scary maze. 
However the best part was going to see the magic show by Merlin and The Lady of the Lake (Monique and Paul!). It was brilliant, Jeremy came with Michael from work (Monique's husband) and we rudely (but rightly) took our place at the front on the queue....don't you know who we are!!!? 
The show was fantastic, and poor Monique and Paul would be on all night, we wished them well. Can't wait to hear from her and see how it all went. Anyway, I digress, we had a fabulous time, Bethany saw loads of her Kindy friends and we bumped into Chez Lee! We have had a wonderful spooky day. My memories stirred as I remembered the fun I had as a child, over the next few years we will make more effort to celebrate with Bethany. Some people think it is a waste of time but it's a fun time and one that should be made as magical as possible for our little souls to keep with them forever just as we have.
