This year KayCee organised a Halloween party for her friends while Ella went Trick Or Treating with her friend and her friend’s older sister.
By all accounts, they both really enjoyed the night and I’m here to share a few of the Halloween photos they took; they didn’t get many photos because I think everyone was having too much fun to remember to take them!
Happy Halloween 2018 – I hope you all have a safe and fun night.

I was going to write a recipe for these mummy pizza pies. Then I came across an excellent one that was already on Eats Amazing so instead, I got Ant to make them for dinner the other night using the Eats Amazing recipe 🙂
Here are a couple of our Pizza Pies. They all thought they were delicious and I reckon we’ll be making them again soon; especially seeing as I couldn’t try them because of my diet!

I’m a huge Yankee Candle fan; I usually get given them as Christmas and birthday gifts and I love to receive them. I’ve been known to treat myself occasionally, especially when they’re on offer in the January sales. In fact, I’ll be posting next month […]
This is a basic sugar cookie recipe for Halloween cookies. We also make them using a gingerbread recipe which works equally as well.
I’ve found a great video on YouTube that shows you how to flood fill cookies.

They always look so easy to do, but when you actually start to carve a pumpkin you realise you were kidding yourself and they’re not easy at all! We’ve tried a few different pumpkin carving designs over the years but inevitably we go back to good old triangles for the eyes and nose and a jagged mouth.
Mind you, we did manage a couple of different designs in 2016, but it wasn’t all plain sailing!
I really want to try carving a better design in one of our pumpkins this year so I’ve been checking out designs on Pinterest.
I love this cannibalistic pumpkin and what’s more, there’s an excellent tutorial to show us how to do it.
This tutorial from The Telegraph has links to pumpkin carving design templates.
If you have a pumpkin design you’re proud of, please feel free to share a link in the comments 🙂

We’ve never thrown a Halloween party before. I’d promised the girls that we would have one, one year and this was our Halloween 2017 party. I’m happy to say, they had a great time 🙂 They decorated the new covered outdoor kitchen and set out a buffet.
They invited friends from school and they all arrived in brilliant costumes. After filling up on burgers and Mummy hotdogs followed by apple slices dipped in chocolate from the chocolate fountain, they all went Trick or Treating.
I have to confess, though, that I’m a little annoyed with myself. I took photos of all the food and decorations but totally forgot to take photos of Kaycee and Ella in their costumes!
It’s the first year I didn’t get costume photos and I’m a little sad 🙁
Kaycee and Ella have a Halloween party planned and they’ve been searching for food and drink ideas. We tried this bloody hot chocolate recipe, (just to make sure it tasted ok before we serve it to the guests, obviously) and we all loved it!
Last year Ella was very excited when we had to go to HomeSense to check out their Halloween products.
We pulled up at HomeSense yesterday and I told her we were there again for the same reason. She immediately asked her dad if she could borrow his phone so she could take photos for my blog! We always enjoy looking at the HomeSense Halloween stock; they always have such lovely stuff. My favourite is definitely this cute little ghost 🙂
You can serve punch in his head!
I’d keep this out all year, it’s so pretty!
Ella’s in her element!
