Half Term Day 9 - 31/10/15

We were up bright and early for Weight Watchers this morning, I lost another 2 pounds taking me up to 11 in total which I'm really happy with. We then went to the cafe in the leisure centre and had smoothies and cake...as you do when you leave Weight Watchers! After we'd finished we came home for a lazy few hours watching Saturday morning TV and  snuggling. 

For lunch we picked up my father in law and went to Wheelbirks for a Halloween lunch. Henry had eyeball pasta followed by a spooky looking blackberry sorbet. I really do love it there, they make so much effort for big events and the food is such good quality. We both loved the blackberry sorbet too, we've never had that flavour before so that's always a treat. Daddy went for cookies and 'scream' which was really good too. 

We were all so full after lunch that we came home for mammoth naps in bed. There's nothing nicer than spending a Saturday afternoon cuddled up in bed. 

As soon as it got dark we lit our pumpkins, decorated outside and headed out for Henry's first ever trick or treating session. I was a bit worried that he'd be really shy but he loved every second. He loved knocking on the doors and we'd say 'trick or....' and he'd finish the sentence off by shouting 'treat!'. So cute. He remembered to say 'ta' to everyone and loved seeing all the other children dressed up. When we came home he loved answering the door to other children and giving them sweets and would get so excited when he heard a knock. We'd bought 3 big bags of sweets for the children but we ran out about 7pm so luckily Henry isn't old enough to realise that we've also given away most of his sweets too!! Some people made so much effort, he got a full party bag from once house, a homemade toffee apple in another and so many of the houses were decorated so well. 

We came home for a lovely 'picky bits' tea of olives, jamon Serrano, bread, crisps and houmous and a bottle of prosecco for us too. I love family days with my little family so much.
