Blogtober ~ Halloween Fun

Diary Blogging, Halloween 3 Minutes

Did you think I’d forgotten about the last few days of Blogtober?? Nope, I wanted to add it in by itself because it’s Halloween.

Sunday the 30th –

After dad brought those Halloween deckies yesterday, I was going to take most of them to work to deck work out but remembered that I was on the later shift so just decided to take a couple to work & put the majority of them up at home in our hallway so they’d be seen when I open the front door to the trick or treaters……………………………………..

Me & Richard carved a pumpkin today, ready for me to take to work tomorrow……………………………….

1-drawing-on-the-designs
Drawing on the pumpkins what needed cutting out wasn’t the easiest thing, I’m not the best at drawing. Hehe.
3-carving
The carving was very fun, it was my 1st time pumpkin carving & I’m definitely doing it again next year.
2-de-seeding
Richard showed me an easier way of gutting a pumpkin, this way was so much easier than the way I was TRYING to do it.

If you hold a table-spoon (not plastic & without a plastic handle) at the bottom of the handle, you can get a better grip to help with scooping out of the pumpkin guts. Richard, you’re a genius, that made it so much easier for me.

Our finished pumpkins……………………………

Here’s 3 attempts – I just decided to cover mine! Hehe…………………………………

All finished, I loved doing this with Richard…………………………….

While cookie decorating, Richard says to me “give me your finger” & then he did this! Hehe.

I really do love the fact that Richard’s so up for anything, I’m one of those annoying people who want to completely embrace Autumn & Winter, along with everything that comes with those seasons (even if I’m not always able to) & Richard just gets stuck in, we both had a right laugh today.

My tree is looking rather sorry for itself this week…………………………………

It amazes me how much it’s changed over the month of October.

I made a bit of a mess with my make-up! Hehe. (I have got the weirdest chin in the world!).

Hehe……………………………………………….

Thinking maybe I should have worn my hair down all day – definitely scarier!

Richard started my pumpkin soup for me today, the recipe I usually use, is a weight watchers & the website was down, so I had to use a different one & it wasn’t very nice. Next time, I’m going to have to keep a record of it so I don’t have to keep using the websites!

Bye October, I’ll miss you, see you next year. Xxxx

What I learned this week…………………………..

  • Be more organised with the cooking
  • Get a pic of my nieces & nephews in their Halloween costumes when they come trick or treating – they won’t be young enough to go halloweening (yes, that’s a word as far as I’m concerned) forever!
  • Try & get the early shift at work next year!
  • Go back to my previous years sweetie choices & start including healthy goodies in the bags too.

I hope you had an amazing Halloween.

Bye for now.

Love Sarah Mx
