HALLOWEEN. THE SPOOKY HOUSE IS SMELLING OF CARAMLISED PUMPKINS THAT ARE ALL GLOWING IN THE DARK, SPOOKY SHADOWS IN ALL THE DOORWAYS AND COBWEBS AND CREEPY CRAWLIES EVERYWHERE, FABULOUS HALLOWEEN

 

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...

 

 

 In all a lovely Halloween evening, we are the only house in our street who lines the driveway with pumpkins, puts the banners out and has candles flicking in all the creepy cottage windows with cobwebs hanging over the front door, when our son sees the house he loves it, such a spooky house!  This we can confirm as often if we get up in the early hours to check on our son, you will hear the sharp intake of breath and then the eeeek scream as our eyes adjust to little wrinkled slightly green faced creepy man standing in the corner of our sons room lol!!!
