Happy Hallowe'en!


So its Emmett's very first Hallowe'en. Exciting stuff!! I dressed him up like a pumpkin. We went trick or treating with Eoghan, although it didn't work out according to plan.. I had bought Eoghan a wee all in one skeleton suit to wear, but he decided it was scary so that was that - no go. Instead, he just wore a little jumper with spiders on it. The net effect was that he didn't look dressed up. Not to worry! The three of us walked down to Noreen and Garrett's house, then up to Granny's and finally over here to Stephen. Eoghan sang his Hallowe'en song he learned at playschool for everyone. He's gone home now, and its just me, Stephen and Emmett here. We've had a good few trick or treaters call.. Witches seem to be mighty popular this year. We did have a couple of people who you could clearly see just decided they wanted sweets - one just stuck a hat on her head and used her handbag as her goodies sack. Knacker!! Now Emmett is in mighty bad form, I think he may be punishing me for making him look so stoopid earlier on. If I'm not hiccuping or sneezing, he's crying and/or puking. Its such tiring stuff keeping him entertained - the only reason I'm getting to write this is because Stephen is sticking a bottle in his gob as we speak. I suppose I'd better get back in the line of fire - I'll know better than to make a muppet of him again next year! I wouldn't mind, but I didn't even let him eat any chocolate - so thats not what is making him grizzly.. Or maybe thats why he IS!
