After we all got ready and had some breakfast we went to the Cyfartha Park for a few hours. It was FREEZING! We could only hack it for 2 hours - our hands just too cold, even Ethan was complaining. But we all had fun together.
My original plan for Trunk or Treat was just to go, but with 4 hours to go i really felt i should do one. So we all went to Asda to see what was left. It was horrible! You could barely get down the isle!? So i just grabbed some bones, skeleton's and bats to hang from the car, and of course the sweets.
A quick stop at home before going down the chapel to start setting up. There wasn't as good a turnout as last year - The panto has kept alot of the member busy. Overall there were about 10 cars doing a trunk including myself, so not too bad. By 7pm everyone was packing away because it started to rain, gutting! I didn't mind so much, after an hour i was ready to go!
Here is Ethan modelling his little outfit. I couldn't get him in it all week but as soon as he saw Jesse dressed up a superman, he was more than happy to get involved. I ended up having to stitch it together as the velcro wouldn't stick;
He did not want to do a shot from behind!;
All the trunks for the night;
This one is mine. The kids had to put there hand in the two end boxes before getting a treat. I had witches hair (noodles) and eyes (pickled onions) for them to feel. A few wouldn't do it, it was a little to scarey for them;
David and Sian always go all out for their trunk - i'm gutted that i didn't get a turn!;
The Sister Missionaries set up a stall next to us where you throw the ball to knock the tin's over. Ethan wouldn't leave it alone. It was so funny to watch, he got really frustrated when it was someone else's turn;
I do feel bad that it wasn't as good as last year. Since having trouble with my pregnancies, i totally lost my focus on my calling. I'm trying to get back in it but find it really hard. I'm terrible for comparing myself to others. Saddies.
After we got home i nipped to Tesco to get a treat for Jared and I. We had skipped dinner because of the rush, so i bought a pizza and shloer with a custard tart for pudding. I bought one of the the 'takeout' pizzas, comparable with dominos. It was yummy but not quite like takeout. Bit of Fringe then bed.
