Our Halloween

Our Halloween was a quiet one this year. Normally we decorate our living room with ceiling decorations, spider webs and wall hangings but this year we just didn't feel like hunting through the attic finding all the boxes just for a day of use.

We didn't go trick or treating this year. It's far too cold out for the children to be walking around with thin costumes on so we stayed home and had a mini tea party.

The food

We had food that I renamed, sorry if this sounds disgusting.
Cheese wiggles/wotsits - fingers
french fries - worms
mini scotch eggs - eye balls
pizza - puke pizza
trifle - zombie brains

The trifle was a hit we had two which the children chose from one chocolate and one strawberry.


We also treated the children to candy apples which they gobbled up in no time.

The children loved all the food and came back for second and thirds.

Darren gutted our pumpkin and I then carved it. It took me about 40 minutes to carve and wasn't as hard a job as I was imagining. The theme this year was Minecraft since we love it and rather than carving a Creeper which seemed to be what everyone carving a Minecraft pumpkin was doing I opted for tools/weapons and TNT.

Front : Pickaxe and sword

Back : TNT

With the flesh of the pumpkin we made a rather yummy pumpkin soup.



The children dressed up in costumes, except Archie he wasn't really that bothered.

Cerys the cheetah

Rory as Sleepy the Dwarf

And of course I couldn't leave out a Halloween nappy photo
