All Hallows Eve

Half term holiday was a series of non-eventful days. We didn't have a whole lot we HAD to do, or places we HAD to go, and Daniel was visiting so the boys were in their element. We had a halloween party on Wednesday that myself and a number of other parents from Rockcliffe School had organised (tell you what, cooperative parties are the way to go - everybody sharing the stress made it very stess free), and on Tuesday we were all sitting around the dining room table as the boys helped me prepare the crafts for the party.

Daniel and I were talking to the boys about what they might like to dress as for the party and all the while we were talking, Daniel was quitely crafting away, making a fabulous Batman mask. The rest, as they say, is history. Tom would be Batman (my personal favourite from the comic world) and Dan was set to work building Sam a fantastic Darth Vader helmet, and thereafter made himself an Ironman mask. I was so impressed!! I thought that all this time, Jen has been seen as the the one to take on Grandma's crafty mantle, and here was Dan, the dark horse!!
