As I know some of you like Halloween and crafting your pumpkins I thought a thread for the day would be good.
Whats everyone up to tomorrow?
Get also your costume pictures up so we all can have a giggle, sadly I'm not doing anything this year fancy dress or going out so I'll be waiting for the parents and youngsters wanting sweets and money lol
daughter 1. going to a party as 'stupid death' bloke off horrible histories
daughter 2. going out as a zombie.. tomorrow at work, i am making a stuck thru the chest wood saw... it should look good, she is sticking spaghetti to an old t-shirt...
daughter 3. trick or treat as a generic witch... she gets loads of stuff though.
we are doing a pumpkin as a weeping angel..

Kids under ten banging on the door begging for cash for some American event makes me angry lol
IT's a pagan event and something else before that, the yanks just jumped on it and took it over.
All Hallows' Eve, or All Saints' Eve, is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geography_of_Halloween) on 31 October, the eve of the Western (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Christianity)Christian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity) feast of All Hallows' Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints%27_Day). It initiates the triduum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triduum) of Allhallowtide (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allhallowtide), the time in the liturgical year (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liturgical_year) dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint) (hallows), martyrs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_martyr), and all the faithful departed believers. Within Allhallowtide, the traditional focus of All Hallows' Eve revolves around the theme of using "humor and ridicule to confront the power of death.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween#cite_note-12)According to many scholars, All Hallows' Eve is a Christianized (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianization) feast initially influenced by Celtic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_nations)harvest festivals (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvest_festival),with possible pagan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paganism) roots, particularly the Gaelic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaels)Samhain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samhain). Other scholars maintain that it originated independently of Samhain and has solely Christian roots
Yes i copy and pasted that, but just to prove a point. ;)
Plus they should be asking for sweets not cash...

See what I do is dress up like a velocirapter and wait for them to knock
I answer the door, they see me and keep perfectly still thinking my vision is based on movement like the t-rex, so I stare right back at them.
Thats when the attack comes, not from the front but from the side... from the other two nutters you didn't even know where there
Does no one make lanterns from turnips (neeps) anymore? Or is that just a Scottish thing? lol

lol lol there not the same pair he had from when he was 3 kids grow to fast for that. I've got a pair I've had for about 6 years, my mrs keeps threatening to throw them out but there just to comfy to doss around the house in.
+ we've not had any trick or treaters yet, bloody kids these days are useless!!!!
Took small person out trick or treating for the first time (she's 5 lol ). It was great, only went to houses with decorations out the front and a fun time was had by all. We left a load of sweets by the door when we went out so everyone else got some.
im suffering artist block on the pumpkin front, but I have made the electronics inside for an interactive one lol connect over wifi and use a web page to change the lighting colour, pointless but epic lol
just need to work out what to craft it into
