Halloween Fun & Games

Now I'm not a big fan of Halloween and I definitely don't agree with Trick or Treating but I'm not one to be a killjoy so I on Tuesday 31st I was equipped with a large bag full of sweets for any costume-clad littlies that came knocking.

I was quite surprised though that Amy got so into it because I really haven't made a big deal of it. We cut out a pumpkin (well Auntie Kirstie helped!), baked a spider cake and she & Ben dressed up.

We had a little impromptu party (naturally Granny had all the necessary bits "at home somewhere") and we opened the door to tonnes of trick or treaters.

Ben enjoyed it too until a slightly larger than average trick or treater rang the doorbell and that scared him a little bit but apart from that it was all good fun.

Boo Hiss to the kids who took off with the whole bag of sweets that I left out for any late-comer trick or treaters whilst we put the kids to bed. In the 5 years I've been doing that it has never happened before but I guess that's the damning indication of what our world is coming to eh!
