One Dice Short, No Rules and a Dead Mouse

When we woke up the rain was lashing down and the wind was blowing wildly. We had a very slow morning starting with a croissant breakfast and showers. Then we sat down and made Huffle read 16 pages of the rules of a game that Aunt Pear sent for us called Pokemon Trader. This was Cousin Pest's game and Unc Pear dug it out for the boys (we half expected a dead mouse). We played happily for half an hour before we realised one of the dice was missing, then the game properly got started. Grandma slept on while battles happened, Pokemon were won, lost and traded. Two hours later and Huffle finally won. Thanks Aunt Pear. Small said after the game "I'm exhausted!"

We had a tea and hot chocolate break and then all got ready to go out. Two cars, six people, lots of rainwear and a trip to Uxbridge Tin Mill and we sat down for a lovely meal.

This was a photo on the wall. Look at hair!

After a lengthy stay, we went to the Halloween shop and kitted Grandad out in a costume we like to call 'frankenporter'. I cannot reveal his costume until Halloween evening. We also got Grandma a little something, Smallest a light up Sword and a Dracula ornament that lights up with a candle inside.

We popped downstairs to the charity shop and bought a furry scarf to finish off Small's costume. Grandad tried on all the hats but didn't buy any this time.

Huffle, Grandma, grandad and Smallest went home while Small and I walked to the cinema and asked if my watch had been found. It had, I am so pleased.

Once we were all home, Smallest got his Halloween costume on and I took him to his party at Ew's house. He had a lovely time making a ghost, doing a scavenger hunt and eating cake and pizza (maybe not in that order).

Grandma and I played scrabble while the boys watched the football and then we all played Monopoly Deal until it was time to pick Smallest up from his party.

We had tea and made jellies and a trifle for tomorrow's tea and Grandad recounted stories of TV in the UK and during this he mentioned Craig Revell Horner!!!!!!
