Helloween

Everyone seems to be decorating their houses at the moment. Our next door neighbours have built a mock graveyard complete with fake ghosts ‘floating’ above the gravestones. All this for my birthday! Oh ok it’s for Halloween, which just happens to be my birthday.

We are off to the pumpkin patch near my in laws this weekend, and then we get to carve them (the pumpkins not my in laws). I remember that we used to do a similar thing in Saltash but being Cornwall we used Turnips instead of pumpkins which looking back at it makes me laugh.

Anyway to celebrate my 31st birthday we are going to Boo in the Zoo, which is trick or treating in Sacramento Zoo. It was obviously my choice to go there. I have resigned myself to my birthday being the time when our kids go trick or treating, after all everyone is giving out sweeties, whereas my birthday involves the kids getting me a present. No competition really.
