I’d say that Pumpkinfest ’09 turned out to be quite a hit. The kids all looked lovely in their costumes, and the WH tolerated hers quite well too, and seemed keen on the ‘craft’ (you may notice that they all appear to be wearing bin bags. They are. I may have overlooked one thing on the shopping list in preparation for the big day. Responsible parent that I am I thought it more important to cover my darling’s costume than to worry about the fact that I was calmly shoving a bin bag over he head and encouraging others to so the same. Ooops.) They all ate their tea (the sausage-Pumpkin-head was a big hit. The jellies were too. Which is good because I will NEVER AGAIN scoop out eight oranges for that purpose. I advice you to do the same. It’s jolly hard work and my hands felt sore from the juice for days. Annabel Karmel neglected to point that out in her recipe!) were thrilled by the chocolate buttons in the Pass-the-Pumpkin and it was all finished and tidied away before 6pm. Hurrah. I’m now planning a Christmas affair!! By the way that’s me with the cheesy grin in the last pic. Must be the hormones- I can’t have been that excited, surely?
You were quite excited that afternoon… either that or baby number 2 was doing a happy dance on your bladder & you were smiling through it!
