We start with a pumpkin
Cut the top off
Roast the seeds
And demonstrate exceptional artistic carving skill
We put together some decorations
We make up some spooky coloured icingWhip up some cupcakes (domestic goddess that I am)
And display them on a suitably themed stand
We don some not remotely scary costumes
Some of which are a bit on the big side
And go next door to Trick or Treat our lovely neighbours
And give this response when I suggest sharing the booty
And once the sugar high has dissipated we go to bed, quite relieved it’s only once a year.

Thank you, any excuse for some cake 😉
Loving the cake stand and the costumes! I wish they came adult sized….hang on…Tigger onesie! XD
Thanks. The cake stand was a great find in M&S. It was only a few quid. The bats spin round at the top. Brilliant fun.
Love your big-eyed-friendly-don’t-scare-the-kids-pumpkin, we made a similar one this year too. To infinity and beyond…
I was a bit worried about scaring E when I started but he thought it was fab in the end. Phew!
Hi! Just popping over from NaBloPoMo. Your post made me laugh, I’m also a mum of two boys and this post it’s so similar to mine photos of the same effect and subjects, and when in doubt…use instagram! Hope you had a lovely Halloween x
Thanks for visiting Pippa. Hope NaBloPoMo is going well for you.
