Happy Halloween

I do love to decorate my porch for Halloween. We usually have a steady stream of trick or treaters from 5 o clock till 8 ish. Looking at the weather, dry and sunny, I should imagine it'll be busy this evening. We are lucky that we live in a very small village and the children know who's doors to knock on. Even I wouldn't knock on my neighbour's door she's way too scary!!

Even a lot of the elderly villagers enjoy it and answer their doors with a bountiful supply of sweets, chocolate and fruit. They love to see the children in their costumesand it has been known for some of them to dress up themselves and join in the fun.

And at the end of the evening the children all troop home with enough chocolate etc to last a month or more.

I had a problem this year as I couldn’t find my box of ceramic decorations. It’s a very large box and will probably turn up tomorrow. So I had to improvise and quickly make some card bunting using my scrapbook supplies.

A very hastily put together gravestone.

This is me on a good day!

And on a bad day!

Jodie’s pumpkin.

Tara’s Winnie the Pooh pumpkin.

I’ve made some spider cakes, pumpkin and witches cat biscuits, with some help off of Lily of course.

Dandy Pumpkin Great is trying to decide which one to have first!

And finally Halloween in miniature.

I must now go and get a little spider ready.
Have fun!

Well there are definately Gremlins about as I have been trying to post this since 3.15 and it's now 9 o clock, part of the font keeps coming out too small to see!

So I thought I'd just as well take this opportunity to update and here's a photo of Lily dressed as a spider, pumpkin pot in hand and eager to get outside in the dark!

She soon caught on to the fact that if you say 'that's my favourite' whatever anyone gives you they are sure to give you more! This probably only happens to 2 year olds.

Yay I think it's working now after retyping one part 4 times. If it took much longer I would've been changing the title to Merry Christmas!
