Halloween

Yesterday was Halloween, and this year, whilst the girls went out trick or treating with the neighbours, I stayed in the garage wearing a pointy hat to dish out the 'lollies' (as they are called here) to prospective groups of young trickster/treatees. The experience of being the trickstee/treater is quite different from the other side of the transaction, as you get to see all sorts of kids and see how they go about the selection process. Some kids will pick one sweet from the proffered bowl, (which in this case had mini choc bars and rolls of swizzler type sweets in), whilst others will dive in... one kid even went for two handfuls of bounty! I had to explain to him that it's is part of the deal that you're supposed to have some consideration for the other kids that are coming along too... he seemed to be pained as he let go of one handful and scarpered. Some kids are awkward...and avoid all eye contact. Others are all smiles and grins, engaging you the whole time. It's a funny ol' world innit.

Here's the pumpkins..





This is Sarah, whose mask had a clever running blood feature! Karly is on the right.



Tara was full on... Alicia is behind her.



This is Jaden, Tara's brother.









The corn syrup and honey blood that I bought years ago in Shepperton Studios is still going strong! I used to use this on Molly and Josh!



Here's Feeb without the make up. Looks quite different with a dark fringe eh?
