Happy Halloween everyone!! I hope everyone is having a good day.
This morning I took Abigail and Sam to the Parentlink Halloween festivities. It was so much fun! A big pumpkin cake to enjoy at snacktime.....a pumpkin patch to play in and for photo opportunities, in fact pumpkins EVERYWHERE!!!!! There was a whole table of Halloween themed story books to curl up on the sofas and read...we had circle time and sang songs about pumpkins....there was a neat craft where you got to wobble a tray about and get a marble to roll about in paint over a pumpkin shaped sheet of paper....
My friend Samantha rustled up some orange muffins....and wow her costume was amazing....I have pictures to add later :) The effort Samantha put in is amazing - especially considering she's in a great deal of pain with her knee right now....
Samantha has persuaded me (depending on the weather) to have a Guy Fawkes Celebration on Sunday.....so I stocked up with sparklers for it today.....
I'm a bit wary because last year I planned to do one and it ended up being crappy weather AND we were all ill so it didn't go ahead and we ended up lighting the sparklers in the kitchen on our own!
Now we are waiting for the kids to get home from school...they should be back any minute as its early-out today. Susie has a friend coming back for the evening and we will take them into town trick or treating later....to our old subdivision to say hi to the old neighbours etc
Laurie is meeting his friends and Chris isn't coming home at all today as he is off to some friends to celebrate there :)
When we get home we have our traditional 'sort the stash' and then once the kids are in bed Lloyd and I are going to watch The Ring 2 - we tried to watch it last year and after 5 minutes I made him switch it off as I was too scared....so we will try again tonight (lol)........a horror HAS to be dfone on Halloween :)
Ok, I'm going to sort the pictures :)
Happy haunting everyone :)
