Happy Halloween!

Yeah, i know i'm a day early, but we started our Halloween celebrations today so i thought i might as well write this blog post now. i lovvvvvve Halloween, to me it's all about dressing up and letting your hair down and having fun. And i love the way that kids can get involved too by putting on a costume, feeling goopy stuff, eating and drinking special 'scary' foods and especially by going 'trick or treating'. Poppy is participating in that for the first time this year and she is so excited. Sir has agreed to take her round to the houses nearby, where we know people, so that she will be safe, and we know from last year that virtually everyone here gets treats in ready and plays along for the kids so she should have a great time. i'm staying in to look after the boys and pass out our own treats to any kids who come knocking. We haven't had time to decorate the house and outside quite as well as last year, but it still looks pretty good and Poppy and i had fun carving the pumpkins this morning before we went into town to enjoy the Halloween festivities there (though Poppy did get scared of a giant spider walking down the street - controlled by 8 people, one to each leg!)

i've got some really cute costumes for the children this year too - Poppy asked to be a shark (her favourite animal) so i had to make hers as i couldn't find one small enough for her. But she's really pleased with it and can't wait to put it on tomorrow, for the party we're going to and then for trick or treating. And i bought some really cute costumes for the boys: a pumpkin for Finn and a Frankenstein for William:

They both look sooooooooooo gorgeous in their outfits :)

Happy Halloween everyone, i hope you have a great weekend and enjoy it whatever you end up doing!
