Scary Fun!

First I tried to put the children off their food serving them dead mens thumbs for their tea!! The house was in darkness, lights were banned, and lots of ketchup made these very convincing!

They were starting to get spooked already, so when I crept outside and knocked on the window with a scary mask on, they leapt out of their skins!!!

When buying the doughnuts to hang from strings for the 'eating them with your hands behind your back game' I bought the ones with chocolate on the top - not thinking of the consequences of this!!! Max was the clean one - you should have seen the other boys!!!

But luckily a good dunk in a tub of water was on hand!!

Followed by a face full of flour as they fished for smarties!!

I'd like to say that all this activity wore them all out, and that they were tucked up in bed soon after . . . the girls went next door to Natasha's for a sleepover, and the boys were locked away in the den, where the mischief continued for a lot longer!!!
