Happy Halloween 2016

I absolutely love Halloween time of the year and this year has not disappointed so far. All 3 kids have really got in to the pumpkin carving and have enjoyed making their own creations. Brandon set the bat a bit high on his design and wanted a Ghostbuster design and subsequently I ended up helping him. Joshua tried writing Grand Theft Auto in his one and then when that went wrong he went for a straight forward face. Holly got to use by whitey/green pumpkin which was just too damned hard to carve. So she decorated hers with the plastic face parts.



Brandon hard at work bending my big spoons carving his pumpkin.

 

Joshua couldn't wait to attack his with the carving knives but made a few mistakes. At least he tried on his own though,

And Holly got the bomb proof pumpkin which is too damned hard to carve.

Doesn't look too bad when lit up.

At the weekend we found these rather cool LED light up bat glasses for Halloween dress ups!

 

 

On Saturday night we was invited to a friends Halloween Party and we all dressed up as Team Zombie American football players with Tina and Holly being our cheer leaders. Some dodgy make-up done by yours truly and we looked a right monstrous brood. The party was really good fun and the hosts had really gone to town. There was even a separate (more scary) entrance for adults as opposed to where the kids entered. The Fotabooth idea was great and then there was lots of kiddies games like tissue paper mummies etc. A really good night to remember and but my Bonoween preps to shame.

Go Team Zombie.

 

Me and my little Princess. Holly wouldn't let me paint her face.

 

Tina drinking some rather dodgy liquid from a syringe, served from a zombie nurse!

Holly and Darcy playing a newspaper standing game which was a take on musical chairs but with the paper getting smaller and smaller.

 

Team Joshua about to get mummified by toilet roll.

 

Starting at the head the kids worked downwards to cover him from head to toe using 3 toilet rolls.

God I hope he can breath under there. Poor Josh.

 

 

The kids had a teacher training day today so to finish the half term and have some more Freaky Halloween fun, Tina and a few of her school friends all met u and took the little ones to Marsh Farm for the day. Looks like they had a great day and the came home loaded with yet more pumpkins to be carved for Bonoween next weekend. If nothing else we have plenty for pumpkin bowling and pumpkin throwing.

 

Holly and some of her friends at Marsh Farm.

Holly really is too cute to pull off a scare at Halloween.

 

Love this picture of the little ones.
