The Halloween Spirit

So yes, Halloween over here is mahoo-sive. Houses are decorated on the outside, fully grown adults throw parties and dress up. And this year I'm no exception. For some reason, I allowed the ten year old to hoodwink persuade me to "have a few of his friends round" this weekend. That would be about 25 ten year olds and a dozen or so parents.

Gulp.

So I've gone to town on the decorations, as you can see.

Here's who will greet our guests -

Isn't he dapper?

This is now my fireplace - 

I've even added new family portraits - 

Wrapped some prizes for spooky games - 

Print-outs of spooky things on black paper. Clever eh?

Oh, and made some plaster cake decorations - 

Green witch's finger. 

I don't know who's having more fun, me or the ten year old. The only ominous thing is he's already talking about what we'll do "next year"......
