Saturday started with Astronomy for those who were up to it (M and J; K opted out) and then a supposedly quick trip to the DIY shop for Bob to buy lots of insulation (special offer, and we need lots!) which turned into a mammoth trek through horrible traffic and left me here with the wrong car… In the end I couldn’t wait any longer but had to just go with the children I had in the car I had, knowing that there would not be room for the children I had to pick up but hoping that I could either collect them from Astronomy and leave them somewhere safe while I dropped the others off at a nearby friends’ house or that somebody else would have spaces to ferry them to said friends’ house. I was late, but friends had waited (thank you!) and had spaces (thank you again!) so we all made it to our next stop, a Hallowe’en party at nearby friends’ house, where Bob later joined us with the right car!
The children carved pumpkins, ate pizza, cookies and pumpkin pie brownie, painted their faces, hunted for candy, built huge towers with Wedgits, ran like loons round the garden, played basketball and generally had a great time enjoying all the fun bits of Hallowe’en with none of the nasties 🙂 Then we came home for an early night!
