The day got off to a tremendous start when she coughed so hard she was sick. All over herself and me. She's not been very well this week bless her. She then decided life was too much like hard work and went back to bed for the morning. Fabulous I hear you cry. By end of a large nap she had rallied slightly and decided she was well enough to receive visitors. So she decided she'd better dress for the occasion. She wanted to be a bride. But we gave it a halloweeny type twist. She was a ghost bride. I think the expression on her face pretty much says it all about how she was feeling today. I must add minimum face paint was required to achieve such deathly palour...
I personally think this picture deserves an OSCAR and if Steven King is casting for some spooky flick about a junior Miss Haversham type charachter, look no further - here is you gal.
Friends a'plenty come to vist and for the occasion we made blood jelly. It comprised of the cheapest jelly in the history of the world (7p a packet - can you believe you get any foodstuff that cheap - I use the term foodstuff loosely as I wouldn't let anyone actually eat the stuff) with lots of scrumptious rubber bugs and glow in the dark spiders to find in it.
Children were required to squelch around until all bugs were retrieved. Not so good for the kitchen floor.
Twiglet then assumed vigil at the front door waiting on passing guisers, who were greeted by her Daddy.
Looking like this.
Now that's what I call really scary....

Poor twiglet, but it did lend authenticity to the costume! And Iain must be thanking you a thousand times over for that picture.
So what did Iain do for Halloween?- I can't see anything different!
Poor twiglet hpoefully she is all better now!
I am completely terrified by all the activities, images, &c in this post. Blood jelly, you say? Praise the Lord that Halloween is now almost an entire full year away--I will need that long to recover. Nice costume and make-up work on the Twig, by the way.
