Halloween Night

Halloween Night

So here we done a post on our Halloween day and this is our post on Halloween night. It was Ava's first Halloween in Windsor so we made the whole day and night filled with Halloween stuff. From Us and Ava dressed up as Cats during the day, to Halloween Jam "Pumpkin" sandwich for lunch, "Halloween Coke" throughout the day which was limeade, Hot dogs & Spaghetti for dinner which was meant to look like brains but kinda didn't end up looking like anything ha but Ava eat them all up and also had "Ice Scream" with Jelly Worms and Orange glitter over the top to make it look more Halloween themed dessert which she eat all up. We got abit caught up with time so Katie quickly carved up two pumpkins and it was her first time so wasn't very creative haha!! Then Legoland Fireworks on every other night in October & November we all got ready to watch them from out back garden as we are very close to Legoland, so we watch that for 10 mins then off we went upstairs to get ready. We only had 5/10 mins to take off our cat make up and into something more scary which ended up in us looking like a we have been splatted with blood ha!! Ava got into her Ghost outfit and put on some white make up which didn't turn out properly but she looked so adorable. We went trick or treating with Ava and Tommy and apart from Tommy we was all dressed and ready for sweets!!! As I've said it's Ava's first year in Windsor so we didn't really know where to know so we just went local around our road ect but know we know for next year where to go and where not to go. We was impressed with some of the houses going proper Halloween in the front garden and it made us want to go proper OTT for next year. There was tape in people front garden so it was like a maze going in there, was fake blood all over the door and one looked like a scary graveyard!! We deffo will be making our front garden into a scary garden next year haha!!! Here's a few of our pictures from the night.. 

 

We had an amazing trick or treating experience with Tommy & Ava getting right into it and in the end Ava learnt to take more and more sweets and got less shy. Soon as we got home, Ava tipped all of her sweets on the table and we let her chose a couple so she can have before bed and then we took away the rest to have over the next few weeks well months!! There was loads!! Now Halloween is over, all we have left of it is sweets from trick or treat and Halloween cookies we made. Now onto Christmas!!!! 

Lots of Love,

Katie & Beth xx

Lazy Family Sunday

Hi everyone :) Hope everyone had a lovely lazy Sunday like we did here in Windsor. We lazed around in bed until half 10 quarter to 11, even Ava! After a busy week I think we all deserved it! 

For us girls and I think you would all agree that Sundays are the one day where we wont put on our best outfits, fancy shoes, have big hair and most of all we give our faces from make up letting our skin breathe.. we have braved the camera for a no make up selfie getting away with it as today was a lazy Sunday!

Today would have been the perfect day for a big fry up with all the added extras including a giant cup of tea or coffee! But unfortunately not having the full ingredients for a fry up and no giant sized mug me Tommy settled for a toasted sausage sandwich and normal sized coffee while Ava enjoyed eggs and a cup of juice. Sadly Katie wasn't feeling too well at this point at was in bed so missed breakfast :(. Don't worry shes feeling better now :). Below we have a cheeky shot of Ava enjoying breakfast time!

With an active toddler you have to think of some good Sunday activities not only that we enjoy family time and doing things as a family creating memories to cherish. So with it being the 19th October its the perfect time of year to start getting into the Halloween spirit (we love this time of year) so Tommy came up with the great idea of carving a pumpkin! Being Tommy and Ava's first time at pumpkin carving i took a step back and let them take the lead. 

Steps to pumpkin carving (for those who have not tried it yet) 

1. Cut a round circle out of the top to gain access to the inside of your pumpkin this will also act as a lid :)

2. Scrape the insides out of your pumpkin ensuring nothing is left inside and throw the cut offs in the bin. 

3. Grab a marker pen and draw on any design that you want onto the front of your pumpkin.. Go as wild,creative and scary as you feel!!

4. Cut around your design and poke out the bits you have cut! you can now admire your handy work!

5. To get it at its full potential on Halloween night pop a tee tree light  in the  middle of your pumpkin and put it out side your front door!!

Below are some snaps of Ava and Daddy enjoying some quality time pumpkin carving!

Our pumpkin!

After our pumpkin carving we got into the classic lazy Sunday feel and lazed around! With Ava snuggling into bed with Katie for a nap Me and Tom where able to spend some quality time together, with Tom desperately needing a hair cut I got my clippers out and cut his hair while watching some Sunday football :). 

Katie and Ava both woke up and we all enjoyed a nice lunch of sandwiches and nachos in bed:) 

As you can guess we didn't quite have  time to make a big roast dinner so with Ava in bed after a dinner of homemade vegetable pasta we had the perfect end to a Sunday with a KFC dinner while watching X factor... Pure bliss :) 

Hope you all had a lovely lazy Sunday and enjoyed it us much as we did here :) 

Until next time Lots of Love

Friday Fun : Getting Prepared For Halloween

Today we decided to get on the Halloween wagon haha. Tommy ( Katie's brother & Beth's Fiance ) is currently off work so once we dropped Ava of to school off we went to Tesco. We purchased two pumpkins and a Halloween make your own gingerbread house and its fair to say Tommy was far more excited than he should be lol We came back home and Tommy got started building the gingerbread house and Beth helped. It needed 30 minutes to dry before you start decorating it. This was the point we got way too excited and went back to Tesco to buy more stuff to decorate it even though things are provided we wanted more haha!!! Back home we came, Beth & Tommy got back to decorating the Halloween Gingerbread House and We are very impressed so much we are already looking and goggling what to do for our Christmas Gingerbread house haha. Onto Pumpkins, obviously it is abit early to start carving them so we put them on the fireplace and we have a little Halloween fireplace theme going on with fake spiders and cobwebs. 

Katie & Ava Took a few Selfies today as Ava is now obsessed with taking pictures lol And not planned somehow we have ended up wearing the same dresses haha. 

Tomorrow we have Beth's Parents coming down from Essex to visit us for the day and football is back ( BTW WE ARE BOTH OBSESSED WITH FOOTBALL ). With Tommy being Leeds United, Beth being West Ham and Katie Being Chelsea FC. Over the weekend we have Baby Shower planning which was all planning along fine but past few weeks we haven't done much, we have most of the stuff and the date just haven't sent out invites ect so we will be on that this weekend/next week and also will be doing blog post as the baby shower is on a small budget and we have a theme which we would like to all share with you all. 

Here is a beautiful picture of Ava just before school, doesn't she look so grown up. Her dress is from Primark, Tights are from Asda (can't find online but here are some similar) and Her Shoes are Flossy Plimsole from Office. 


We hope you all are having a lovely Friday night and have a good weekend :) 

Love Katie And Beth.
