It’s a bit late, but Halloween and Fireworks night seem to be a weekly event up here anyway. I have lost count of the number of times each evening when nearly pooping my pants after a loud bang goes off somewhere nearby! The girls however think its great fun and will even go to bed with the curtains open in the hope of seeing some of the noise polluting sods (Now I sound like a grumpy old woman, but they were still awake and messing around at 10pm last night!)
Last week we caved in and got into the Halloween spirit by going to a Halloween themed night with Tracy and Steve. They said it was a costume party for the whole family, but they weren’t going to bother dressing up themselves. Thank goodness! I was up all night making the girls something and didn’t have the time or enthusiasm for making myself and Dan something too (Although I would never get Dan into a costume without a fight – he’s never been one for dressing up*)
The evening itself was really good, the bar had made a real effort in decorating the hall and the music wasn’t even that bad. Leaving was a blur and the girls talked none stop about it for two days afterwards which is always a good sign of a good night out.
We didn’t however go trick or treating on the 31st as the costumes (Bin bags, sticky tape and newspaper) were all but destroyed from the evening, but may make an effort to see any fireworks displays on the 5th…take the curtain net off and switch all the lights out! LOL
*Even on our wedding day, he wanted to wear black jeans and his steel toe caped caterpillar boots and didn’t want to wear a tie. I got the pants changed and the tie on, but can’t remember if he got away with the boots? I do remember them having HELP written across the sole though…Little shit!
