Comic Con

Last Saturday , was a day that Paul had been waiting for, Blackpools first Comic Con. Being a huge Starwars Fan, he has wanted to go to one for ages and one on our door step was t good an opportunity to miss. Paul decided not to dress up just to wear his starwars hoodie and i decided to wear a skirt i made ages ago out of comic book fabric, so i thought that was quite apt really. I got te dressing up box out to find costumes for the boys to wear, only to realize the despite the fact i have three boys we don't own any super hero costumes! they have just never been into any of them really, Ewan like spiderman for a few weeks, but only because his friends did and never asked for  costume. We did find a jedi costume for Ewan and Fred a caterpillar costume, Molly wore one of her princess dresses. we were good to go!

Paul was working in the morning so we caught the bus there to meet him, having left the pram in the car Alex had the rare treat of walking on the dinosaur (baby reins thing) and with no pram we were able to sit up stairs at the front which they love to do

When we arrived i was a bit blown away by the queue, it went round the whole building and over lapped, each time i walked round a corner i expected to see the end of the queue and Paul wasn't doing any better, he had been waiting for an hour to get into the car park. I was so lucky i saw a friend in the queue who allowed us to push in with her

Ewan was immediately happy to be "arrested by a storm trooper

The place was really over crowded, we said that next time we would just take the older ones as it was a nightmare pushing the pram around.

Some of the costumes people were wearing were amazing, i saw my brother and nephews, they were dressed up as well.

One of the stalls was selling skirts like the one i was wearing

 Look at this little boys mobility scooter, its fab

We all thoroughly enjoyed it, yesterday on the web there were lots of complaints about it, from the queue to the amount of people etc, it was badly organised to be honest, but as its the first one i am sure they will learn and next year will be even better.
