this year, two from mum and dad's garden and one that I was given at bootcamp after having used it in place of a medicine ball! That's the one in the photo - I opted for a pretty rather than scary design to grace our door this year. We don't normally go trick or treating but Beth got her first taste of it this year with grandma and grandpa. She dressed up as a fairy witch (I didn't ask . . .)
and spent a happy evening gathering treats (from pre-approved candidates). That was until she encountered a man (an unapproved daddy) with a 'dead arm'. From what we can gather, she wasn't scared of it but just didn't like it. Anyway, she is still talking about it today. Perhaps I need to find something that shocks her more than that so she stops talking about it, though it would have to be shocking enough to stop her talking at all or else there would be no point! 
While Beth was doing that, I was at the Halloween hen party of a school friend, Katie. It was very relaxed and good fun. I went as a witch/wizard type in semi homemade garb (thanks mum and sorry, no pics) and Katie was a ghoulish bride. Poor girl, she knew it was her party but didn't know about the dressing up, etc. I'm sure she was looking forward to a glamorous night out on the tiles! :)

The pumpkin is cool!
I love the star pumpkin. I might steal that idea next year. We went to the pumpkin patch this year, chose our pumpkins, and then never carved them. That's mostly because the week leading up to Halloween it rained the whole week! Anyway, what's this boot camp you're referring to? I know I told you I'd resurrect the blog....it hasn't happened yet but I'm hoping that will happen soon :)
Glad you both like the pumpkin! Boot camp is just the exercise class I go to a couple of times a week, it's very addictive even though it's pretty hard work. Looking forward to seeing the updated blog whenever you manage it!
The pumpkin looks like something out of a Martha Stewart catalog! Very impressive.
