Halloween

Buy the biggest, roundest pumpkins you can find. Cut the top out carefully so that you can replace it at the end. Remove all the seeds from within and then start carving out your Jack-o-lantern face. Finally place a candle inside and light it!

The finished product.

They were displayed at school before Halloween night then brought home and placed either side of the front door for the big night.

Katie dressed as as butterfly and Libby dressed as a giraffe with their hand painted pillow cases. They walked around the neighbourhood with Mum and knocked on the doors of about 30 houses trick or treating. As you can see, the ground was covered in snow so the Halloween lights and decorations gave the evening a magical atmosphere but it was rather cold!

Once their bags were 1/3 full and their fingers cold they retired home to inspect their goods. The candies they didn't like were given to Dad to top up his supply to hand out to the 100+ kids that knocked on our door.
