Aarg, matey, it's a pirate


Alex went to a birthday party today where there was an entertainer who face-painted and made balloon swords and hats (and probably other things for the girls). He kept telling us he was a good pirate, not a bad one, so that's alright, then.

A big day for birthdays - it's Olivia's, of course, plus she was invited to another party for a little girl in her class who actually has the same birthday, but unfortunately, she was unable to go to that as it overlapped with her trip to Disney on Ice with the Brownies. We had only 4 things we had planned or were invited to over the entirety of half-term - one was Olivia's own party on Sunday - the other three were all today, and all overlapping. Figures!

We also went and picked pumpkins today, though I forgot my camera, so there are no cute pumpkin patch pictures - probably wouldn't have been anyway, as there weren't that many pumpkins in the patch to choose from - but there were a number of cute Hallowe'en cut out boards (where you stick your head in the hole and the rest of the picture is Frankenstein's monster or whatever) so that would have been fun. We still did all the sticking heads in holes part, just no photos of it. You can use your imagination! There will be jack-o-lantern photos later, but much closer to Hallowe'en, so that they last.
