Hallo-b-ween

I don't know why i call it that but hallo-b-ween is what its been since the kids where born, i am forever making up words for different things, much to the annoyance of the teachers at school who once called me in to say that my eldest was not saying words correctly "tinternet", "Nursaberry" "Omputer" to name a few. She did laugh when i explained it was my fault and i kept changing words, its just in front of the kids and not every word obviously, but since my telling off i have stopped all but a very few and trust me the kids know its a little joke and that they are not real words. But i like it its a cute little language just between us.

 This year it was at the end of half term, unusually for us we had stayed quite close to home, having days with family and friends as opposed to our usual outings here and there. I think as we had been really busy with things recently it was nice just to chill and hang about. They ended up playing with toys they had not had out for ages and its great to see them play and use ether imaginations and Fred loves them being at home. There were lots of crafty moments

 And family moments ( and this is just a few of them!)

 And one trip to the illuminations ( including fish and chips! yum)

(Selfie in the car)

 Woolly moments ( Of course!!!!) This was not even half of it but it was fun sorting it all out and i have donated some to the school for crafts.

Then finally it was Halloween, apart from a pumpkin i don't usually decorate the house but this year i decided to start a new tradision with the kids and get some decorations in. The kids had a friend each from school come round and we went trick or treating which we do every year. This year it was quite warm for the time of year and the kids could go without there coats and show there costumes off 

Freds first time going to the doors and he liked it, Knock on door get chocolate!

he wouldn't wear a costume so i put Alexs little ghost hat on him.

Then as i was uploading the photos for this post i discovered this picture of the field opposite my house i had taken it on the morning of Halloween as its was the first time the field looked really wintry, but as put it on here i saw it.... can you see it too!!!!!!

Boo!

Bye for now and thank you for looking xxx
