Meh, I Fancied A Night In Anyway...

So Daddy and I had planned to head into town tonight for mojitos and a couple of movies. A proper night out for the grown-ups - at last! Michael Jackson's This Is It and Saw VI is what we'd decided on. (For some reason, new Saw movies are usually first released in cinema's on Halloween. Adds to the thrill I suppose LOL.) Daddy and I have always preferred to go for the late night showings of movies at the cinema. Don't know why, we just always have. And the last showings at our cinema are usually at around 10.30pm. So we got there, usual time...

But it was well and truly packed! Swarming with married couples and teenagers dressed as vampires with fake blood dripping from the corners of their mouths and dead cheerleaders in stripey knee high socks - you know the sort.

There must have been hundreds of people. And all remaining showings of Saw VI were completely booked. We should've known this would happen. After all it is halloween, but for us that's just a coincidence. Now this was our first saturday night out in ages so we decided to fight our way through the crowd in an attempt to salvage our movie date.

Squinting at the screens above the box office, I soon realised that unless it was seriously boring - it was fully booked. And it was my idea to head home. So here we are. I'm on here writing this, Daddy is in the kitchen rustling up something to eat and in a minute i'll go and choose a DVD for us to watch.

Oh well, you win some - you lose some!

It's Halloween At Last!

We've just got back from Nanny & Grandads, the girls are going Trick or Treating at around 4pm and I wanted to get them all dressed up ready and take some photos. J.R's been looking forward to "Halloween Day" for weeks. E.M made a fuss but it's only a cry for my attention, as usual.

Nanny had lots of activities planned for when they got back - colouring books, mini pumpkin painting and DVD's. There aren't enough hours in the day!

Do feel like i'm missing out a little bit, but I know they'll have a good time and that's the main thing.

Anyway, here they are in their Halloween costumes:

J.R's costume this year is the most expensive yet, with sparkly tights and lots of other accessories.

But it didn't take much to get E.M sorted - most of the clothes she owns are black anyway - if anything I had to brighten her up a little bit, with pink glitter and SPIDERS!

(And yes, Grandad did give them a handful of goodies in the bottom of their treat bags to 'start them off'. That's just an excuse really isn't it...)

Ooh and check out the scary faces on these cupcakes that J.R decorated this morning:

That's HER drawing. Weird huh?
