Spooky .........

Well regular blogging didn't last for long did it? I was full of good intentions but there has been a lot of colds and winter vomiting bugs going around here so the past week has just been full of unimaginable loveliness!

Anyway today is Halloween so I thought I'd post to mark the occasion. Last year E wouldn't dress up for love nor money. The ghost costume A's wearing below was too scary (My friends will be too scared and will not know it is me mummy) to wear and we eventually persuaded him to be a doctor. What a difference a year makes!!!!! This year it was "I want to be a headless horseman" and not just any headless horseman, no it had to be the one from Scooby Doo with a pumpkin for a head! So I'm left wondering how I'm going to do this! then Tuesday night it was suddenly "skeletons are scarier than headless horsemen aren't they mum? 'cause they're just bones aren't they mum?", so I'm like "do you want to be a skeleton?" "Yes mum!". Wednesday morning we went to the super market and picked up a suitably sized, ready made costume. Cop out I know but it was easy and quick!

A wore the ghost from last year (also super market) and looked very cute for the two seconds he kept it on!

And now for something a little crafty........................

Here is a little pumpkin I made. Got the tutorial here.

I'm quite pleased and it only took about 30 minutes all in. The boys were caught playing football with it earlier! Didn't go down to well. DO they not know it's art!
