Friday 30th October 2008 - Part 2



Enjoying the photos? It's Halloween tonight (as I'm sure you all know and are dressed appropriately for) and we're - trying - to create Luca's first memory of "Samhain". However, as with most things, it hasn't all gone to plan! I decked out the house (the first photo is only one of many) in spiderwebs, Halloween tinsel, skeletons, etc while he slept this afternoon, and it all started promisingly when he woke to be greeted by the scary scenery. "Ooooh", he exclaimed "whatsthis???". Unfortunately this was the last thing that went right! Firstly he proceeded to try to pull down anything that hung at his level (which is a lot nowadays due to his rapidly burgeoning height spurts), and swiftly followed it up by having a paddy when I tried to put his devil outfit on! The photos above are of my second attempt to clothe him in the garb, taken when his mum arrived home from work to help! Suffice to say the outfit came straight off when the attempts at photographing the event ceased!
Apart from that he's been a cheery sod today!
Once he departed for the land of slumber I cooked tea again for Carole. Tonight it was posh burger and chips. The burgers were of the mini homemade variety and an amalgamation of a number of ingredients, while the chips were actually finely sliced potato garnished with oil and pepper before being roasted.
It was edible. Barely....
**Useless fact of the day 2 - According to one claim of the first hamburger, Charlie Nagreen served the world's first hamburger at the Seymour Fair (Outagamie County Fair) in 1885. "Hamburger" Charlie decided to flatten a meatball and place it between slices of bread to increase portability**
