Halloween Party

Every year Carole and Ian have a fancy dress party for Halloween. Each year our costumes have mainly consisted of whatever we could find in the bargain bin in Sainsbury's. But as this year was Ian's 60^th we thought we'd better make a bit more of an effort.

I was a fallen fairy and Ollie was death / Uncle Fester. The extra effort by Ollie of having his head shaved and being smothered in white face paint was worth it as he won best costume. Ollie, Marc, Gem and me also won the wrap a team mate in toilet paper game and our team won the balloon under the chin game too.

The pinata proved to be a bit tricky this year, we had one that you bash instead of the one that you pull the strings until it falls apart. It took about 10 minutes of heavy bashing with a Halloween axe before it caitulated. Although once it had there were enough sweeties in it to last until next Halloween, even with 4 kiddies eating them!

We let off some fireworks and had some sparklers once we had all found some gloves to wear.
