We love this time of the year, especially our 11yr old son, we love the cold, dark blistery evening of Halloween, we turn off all the lights in the house and pretend we are in the 1600's where you only had light from flickering candles, it is very romantic and very eerie with all the motion set talking ghouls, talking picture frames and floating cobwebs blowing in the drafts.
The house smells so wonderful from all the fresh pumpkins sort of cooking a little from the candles inside them, I just love the smell of caramelising pumpkin's, our puppy makes us laugh as she runs around growling at the pumpkin faces, only the scary ones! We spend the day making eerie slimy jelly's, spooky cupcakes and putting up all the decorations in Oscar's room.
Oscar's bedroom door covered in cobwebs and spooky black rags, Oscar's creepy butler who says ghoulish comments as you walk past, the picture frame tells a story as you pass and then sticks his eye balls and tongues out of the picture at you!!!
Fun cupcakes for the effect.
Ginger and chocolate cake, a first try for us topped with chocolate icing and our ghoulish cupcakes.
Mr Chilli dog he insists on his photo, as soon as we get this frame out he runs and sits behind waiting for us to take his photo.
Puppy Lottie taking part in the fun, last year when we took Lotties photo she was 9 weeks old arrh...
