I'm in too! It'll be a busy day for me then, but my 2 will love all the company. Plus this will be the first time in a childrens play area that Madison has been to since she started walking, I bet she plonks her bum down and starts shuffling everywhere again!

Anyone doing anything for halloween? My mum is having an adult fancy dress this saturday and then we're having a kids halloween party on the monday, Alex is a zombie pirate and Madison is a little pumpkin fairy. I got them from M&S and now they've reduced them all half price raging, but then again I usually leave it til last minute then there is never any sizes left.

 

[NuKe]

yeah my friends erin and david are having a kids party on the money too, poppy's going as a wee witch!

 

[lauzie84]

I'm a bit of a bore bag and don't really "do" halloween - though if there were any good firework shows I'd love to take Amy. Anyone know of any?

So next sat at 11:30 for a catch up then? Do you need to book that place for a saturday and are we mental going near a childs soft play? xxx

I used to LOVE halloween as a kid, my daddy always made an effort to play all the traditional games ducking for apples, apple pie with the money hidden inside wrapped in tinfoil, we used to HAVE to finish a whole piece before we were allowed another, I used to feel so sick after to try and find the £1 the rest usually had 2p, 5p, 10p etc, he also done swing the apple although I don't know whether this was traditional or whether he made this up! Consisted of a piece of string hung from light shade and tied to the apple and hands behind our back....nearly knocked my front teeth out for 50p!! Fireworks, sparklers & candy apples in the front garden to finish the night

Oh and we never had pumpkins when I was little we carved turnips! Now I don't know if this was because pumpkins weren't available then or maybe because turnips were cheaper god I remember the effort he went to carving out a turnip lol....miss him loads

Can't wait to play games when the kids are older and I've 2 pumpkins purchased ready to be carved!

 

[LunaBean]

This sounds just like my halloweens as a kid. We did all the party games and mum and dad would get fireworks and sparklers, and we had a turnip too Maybe that was just what was used "back in the day".

As Amy gets older I'll prob have a wee party for her x
