I normally do all the craft things the week before, leading up to halloween.
Carve the pumpkin the day before. Depending on how many children I sometimes get small ones to so they can do one each and then take them home.
I decorate the house and then we have a spooky party
And by the end of it I'm shattered.
I don't take mine out trick or treating as it's all elderly people in our village but I still dress them up. Think I get more excited than the children sometimes.

There were some nice ideas for a Halloween party in the Childcare magazine this month - 'ants on logs' - celery sticks full of cream cheese and with raisins sprinkled on top ' dirt snack' - chocolate ice cream with chewy worms sticking out 'ghostly broth' - coke with vanilla ice cream 'dead man's fingers' - white bread, cream cheese inside, roll it up, blobs of strawberry jam for blood and an almond for the nail 'eye eye' - half a grape, put a raisin inside, add it to ice cube tray and cover with water - when frozen put them in drinks Sarahx

I had a quiet half term as only had 2 and 4 yr old in and Gary was at home for four days so had the chance to get out. We went to Normanby Hall on the TUesday and it was so nice to get out further afield. WE were due to go to Sherwood Forest on the Friday but I wasn't very well.
It made me realise how nice it would be to work full time with Gary (don't tell him that though lol) but frustrating knowing it is no nearer happening
lo veKate
