Happy Halloween Memories

I miss art college! I miss the infamous Halloween parties. I can’t decide which was my favourite year? The one we all went as Batman characters or the Austin Powers themed one…? I will never forget a fellow student who would spend months on his costumes and would inevitably win the “best costume” every year. One year he was Jabba the Hut – brilliant! And the next year he really out-did himself: a “Borg” from Star Trek – it was so realistic, I was scared that “resistance was futile” and I would be assimilated into the Borg’s single consciousness to wreak havoc across the universe!



How was your Halloween? I have spent the last three years living Halloween through my children :-( Daddy is pretty good with the scary face paints wouldn’t you agree?! This year I really wanted to dress up too, so I painted a pretty big bat flying across a moon on my cheek and then realized I’d have to walk to the office on my own after dropping the kids at school and nursery! Let me just say that most of the people I passed that morning seemed to have forgotten it was Halloween.

Just to prove our two are adorable under all that freaky face paint!
