I thought I would share with some photo's of our Halloween celebrations.
I have always made an effort for Halloween with my own children and I hope my older two have some good memories of that and although my two little ones are still quite small Daisy is starting to understand celebrations which made this year really special.
Every year I pick a few things up to add to our Halloween box, as we are on a budget I don't go overboard decorating the house and have found some fantastic bargains at Aldi, Asda and Home Bargains.
Daisy chose a little Witch costume from Asda for only £6 it will also be used for dressing up throughout the year.
I'm a sucker for a gimmick so naturally I had to buy some Halloween cakes and crisps, I also bought Daisy some goodies for her Halloween bucket.
Of course Jake had to take part in Halloween too, I won a Pumpkin shaped teether which he is thoroughly enjoying.
Chris took Daisy to his sister's for a couple of hours as she has a little Halloween party each year, she returned later with a very full bucket of treats.
We didn't get a lot of knocks on the door this year which is quite sad as I had a big bucket of lollipops ready for them, I think next year we will decorate the door so the children know they are very welcome as our house can appear quite dark from the front, maybe that put them off.
I know some people can't stand celebrations like Halloween but the way I look at it is that life is short so if there is an event to celebrate then I'm going to especially if captures the kids imagination and fills them with excitement.
Hope you had a happy Halloween.
