Thanks to Uncle Nik for our giant pumpkin this Halloween.

He gave us a choice between “the small one, the big one and an even bigger one.”

The one in the picture is the small one!

Millie helped me carve the pumpkin Saturday afternoon and we put it outside in the evening to attract some trick or treaters – something Millie got very excited about.

When the doorbell rang just after bathtime she raced downstairs as fast as her little legs could carry her, opened the door…

..and SCREAMED!

The Lovely Melanie and I had foolishly forgotten to mention that trick or treaters come dressed up in scary costumes – and the three at our door were in some quite gruesome masks.

We gave them some sweets from our trick or treat bag, but Millie wasn’t quite the same for the rest of the night.
