Week 44 of 2020: Happy Halloween
Well that’s a week of the firebreak ticked off and it now sounds like England will be joining us from Thursday. I have no clue if our lockdown will be extended or not. But we have still managed to give the boys a happy Halloween even if there was no trick or treating this year.
We played Halloween bingo (we printed some sheets from Rock Your Homeschool) and the boys enjoyed pumpkin carving.
Halloween Deliveries
The boys have had lots of lovely Halloween treats delivered this week from their nanny and granddad and aunty, uncle and cousins which was very thoughtful of them. It really cheered the boys up.
Halloween Trail
We went on a Halloween trail and saw lots of lovely painted rocks. A select few are so kind doing this for the good of the community as a whole. I was speaking to one of the organisers and they told me they have spent hundreds of pounds on the paint, what a kind thing to do. They are hoping to do a Christmas trail too. It will be nice having something to look forward too.
On top of the painted rocks there was an app we downloaded so we could spot some spooky monsters.
Facebook had lots of Halloween memories pop up yesterday and I felt a little sad our Halloween was a bit different. However, both my boys said they had a really happy Halloween. We had stocked up with lots of treats and they trick or treated every room in the house. Lucky for them we have quite a big house! I loved the cute Halloween cakes we bought from M&S.
Although their Mini Frankencolins were better taste wise, so chocolatey! I need to get a Christmas colin, if I can travel to a M&S any time before Christmas! Fingers crossed.
Then we watched a few spooky movies and had a buffet lunch and tea. One of our neighbours kindly gave the boys a stack of cookies and some sweets for Halloween. What a thoughtful gesture!
Not Halloween related but still worthy of a mention. Thank you to my brother for giving us lots of tasty cakes this week. The kindness of others this week has really made our firebreak lockdown a lot better!
Blogging
This week I have got a few articles live beauty in a pandemic, how having a baby changes your makeup routine and travel insurance: why you need it? I still have items arriving for my Christmas gift guide and have a fab competition to launch to win a Sensilift Mini beauty product! It’s worth £179.00 so one giveaway well worth entering!
What fab photos! Those rocks are brilliant. It looks like you had a good Halloween x
Love the halloween rocks. How nice of the people organising it to do all that work.
So many halloween treats. Turned out ok for you all. We don’t do halloween – didn’t even carve a pumpkin this year.
Love all the Halloween things, felt very strange to not go out this year for it #366
glad they still managed to enjoy themselves and nice to get stuff through the post.
DD1 was playing Halloween bingo with the kids when I phoned on Saturday evening.
The rocks are amazing.
Looks like you had a good halloween. The painted rocks look so cool!
Love the halloween rocks, you’ve inspired me to start doing something for christmas now for the front garden
Loving all the things you got up to for Halloween. I really need to get along to M&S more! Those rocks are so cute and love the app. I am still writing Christmas gift guides… one day I won’t take on so much!
What a lovely selection of Halloween treats. The Halloween trail looked like fun. I love the painted rocks and finding monsters via the app sounds like it was fun too. I’m glad your boys had a happy Halloween in spite of it being such a different one. #project366
The Halloween rocks are great – hope you manage to get to see the Christmas one too. Love all your Halloween goodies – and the chimpanzee mask is fab !
I love your pebble paintings, such a great idea. May have to borrow the idea for Christmas
So much Halloween fun! Love the stones and app monsters #project366
