I just realised I never shared any of the Halloween photos - the kids had an absolute ball and we ended up with 58 people at one point!  I'm looking forward to hosting Halloween next year when hopefully the house will be a little larger!!

People's creativity constantly amazes - and sometimes scares me.  Take the humble pumpkin for example. 

Halloween pumpkins can be a thing of wonder, or just plain funny.  Enjoy.

I really, really want to make these for my Halloween decorations this year but I just know I'm not going to get around to it.  Here's the tutorial if anyone else wants to attempt it.  (Feel free to make some for me too!)

My invitation to Halloween this year specified that costumes were expected - and by that I was meaning the adults specifically. No surprise that it was largely ignored.

The stand out and therefore the winner of the first ever Costume Prize goes to Caitlin - with not only one fabulous costume, but two! First up 'Westie' then a quick change to 'Wuthering Heights'. SUPERB!!

The kids favourite day of the year has been and gone and everyone had a fantastic time. The street embraced it and dozens of kids trick or treated their hearts out. The weather was perfect, food only covered one main food group - sugar - as it should and judging by the fact that our two hour party lasted long into the night suggests that the parents all had a good time too.
