Happy Haloweeeeeen!

Thriller, Monster Mash and the Harry Potter theme tune, monkey nuts, barm brack and pumpkin soup, face paint, party games and scary movies-aren't the old halloween traditions just the best? On the spur of the moment yesterday morning I decided that I wanted a traditional Halloween. I found coloured crepe paper and a tablecloth in the €2 Shop, brack, nuts and sweets in Tesco and with a little imagination (okay a lot of imagination) was able to turn my college apartment into a spooky fortress....
I really started to get into character at this stage and made a cauldron of hot steamy pumpkin soup...


I felt like a little girl dressing up for Halloween, my witches costume and improvised make up (soudo creme, black face paint and red eye shadow!), however the missing middrift does bring a certain maturity to the whole thing I must admit. :D

Maitiú came dressed as a bed!

After an evening of playing Monster Twister, bobbing for apples, playing air guitar to "Bat Out of Hell", overdosing on sugar and fizzy drinks and watching fireworks out the window, what better way to finish the night than curling up and watching "the Excorsist"(if one can possibly curl up comfortabley to such a movie!). Happy Halloween everybody, how did you spend your night? :) x

  1. Ohh, this seemed to be such a great evening! Your costume (and your dear's as well, what an imagination!) was brilliant, and the decorations.... *faints* I had a house-warming party in a Halloween mood, and I went dressed up as a dead doll. Sadly, we forgot about taking pictures *facepalm* but it tells a lot about how fantastic my party was :D



    The pumpkin soup looks tasty :)
