I bought in lots of sweets for trick-or-treaters, and J dressed up as Frankenstein. We decorated the house, with cheapy decs from tesco and poundland and made a few ourselves. We went out in the evening expecting there to be lots of other T-O-T ers, but there were hardly any, and most of the houses, in fact, all of the houses in our little area had their lights off - which means DO NOT KNOCK!
We had to venture a little further and found a few houses that were decorated, they too were wondering where everyone was. This is our first Halloween at our present address, and I expected to see a few more children out and about, as in our previous house we were quite secluded.
Anyway, we did get a few callers, and my parents popped over for wine, beer and worm slime jelly.
Apple bobbing was top of the list:
D also had County rugby trials yesterday, which was very muddy. Seemed to go well, but none of the lads will know if they have been selected until February.
We are actually rugby free this weekend, and this is also the only free weekend we will have free now until the 22nd of December, with B's 15th birthday being in between. So I thought it would be a good idea to have a weekend of Christmas planning and organizing.
I have bought some presents already, so will get them wrapped, and maybe get a few stocking fillers this weekend. This gives us an excuse to watch Christmas films and have a bit of a Special Roast on Sunday. Also will be making our Christmas Cake.
I may even write my Christmas cards! Only 54 days to go :-)
