Fright Night

No one can have failed to notice yesterday was Halloween.
I love Halloween...I love all the scary films on TV, I love all the silly creepy songs, I love all the Halloween themed goodies in the shops, I love the spooky decorations and most of all I LOVE dressing up!

So...I covered my sisters wedding dress (yes she knew about it) in icky, sticky red food colouring and zombified myself!
Evie looked like we'd just dug her up from her grave!
And our friend Emma had the most amazing fake wounds...

Last night some friends of our held a party in their pottery painting shop http://lescadeaux.wix.com there was free painting and trick or treats for kids and then there was an adults fancy dress party.

Evie got a haul of goodies from her hour of trick or treating between the two parties and I took great pleasure in walking around our village in my costume...I realised after posing for hundreds of photos, that I'm a total camera whore when I'm in fancy dress!

Just a few of my photos from last night.
I've decided next year im going to wear my halloween outfit all day...a few hours at night just wasnt long enough!

Until next time

June Review.

I know I've only been writing this blog for a week but I want to review the whole month of June because its been a great month all round.

We've had some great days out, The Magna Science centre in Rotherham, Experience Barnsley, the open studio and walk around Skipton and the end of year exhibition at Batley Art School.

We've crafted loads.

 



We've started our homeschool adventure and completed a very successful first week.

We've had five amazing days in Portugal, we lost a day and a half because of the French air traffic controllers strike.

 



 



We've eaten some lovely food and I've drank endless good coffees! 

 



 



We helped out at a local litter pick to make our village a nicer place for everyone and we met Dan Jarvis our MP when he unveiled a plaque commemorating the Queens coronation.

And most importantly we've spent lots of time with our amazing family and friends, we celebrated a 71st birthday, we had a goodbye party for my sisters mother-in-law and my good friend as she's just moved to Exmouth, and we had a visit from our middle daughter Mica.
