We had a quiet but successful party last night. There was the jelly lucky dip, the mysterious Box of Squish (this year with Human Heart! - peeled beef tomato - added to the eyeballs for the squishy surprise). Funny to see who's brave and who's alarmed by such things. There was a mummy wrapping contest (damn cheap toilet roll kept breaking, and poor Bodhi burst from his wrappings wailing 'I didn't WANT to be a mummy, I wanted to be a DADDY!!!' There was also the styrofoam ball lucky dip, so now that's all over the kitchen floor, thanks to my kids' delight in how they feel. Apparently hoovering them up brings them less delight though, for some reason. We did blue Halloween potions. I painted the window, we carved pumpkins, we hung bats. I made too much food, as usual.
It felt strangely ... I don't know... tenser than usual? I'm not sure why, but I'll put it down to my cold that grew into something slight more than a cold through the evening, til I just wanted a cup of tea and a snuggle. Uuurgh, I feel unwell. 4 am wake ups with sore throat and chills and sweats and congestion. Blehhhh. It's pissed rain all day, and I hope hope it will clear up for trickertreating, as I don't feel up to dragging my sick ass and two whiny children round in the rain.
But. I have sparklers, I have pumpkin pie, we're going to a friend's house to kick it off, should be grand.

Bodhi's comment about being a daddy, not a mummy reminded me of when Jessie was little and I asked her friend if he wanted a grilled cheese sandwich. He shook his head no and Jessie said, "Mom! He wants a BOY cheese sandwich, not a GIRL cheese sandwich."
So I made him one.
Now get better.
Love it! Gendered cheese toasties....
I didn't WANT to be a mummy, I wanted to be a DADDY!!
LMAO!
Aw, being able to celebrate Hallowe'en might be the one reason I'll admit having kids is a good idea. Love your cupcake and the sprog fancy dress! Hope you have a good time trickortreating, and feel better soon!
oh bodhi..as great as always,...
i hope you feel better!
Yeah, children won't care too much you're feeling like that. Not enough to give it a miss this year anyway. The life of a mummy... :-)
oooh!! box of squish! I love your ideas :)
glad it was so much fun, but sad it wore you down to the point of getting sick.
snuggle tight and eat that pie! has Vitamin C (in trace amounts)
