Project 365: Week 44
Well we made it to November! I can’t believe how fast the year is flying by.
Here’s our week in pictures…
Day 299 – Sunday 26th October – my daughter and I travelled to an away game to see my eldest play rugby. It was a good game, but they got narrowly beaten.
Day 300 – Monday 27th October – I had 100 bulbs to plant and a lot of weeds to get up! The kids gave me varying amounts of help.
Day 301 – Tuesday 28th October – my daughter taught Daisy the guinea pig a trick!
Day 302 – Wednesday 29th October – my eldest finished pulling together his Halloween costume. I can’t say it was one I wanted him to have, but I must admit it looked pretty good!
Day 303 – Thursday 30th October – we went to visit the poppies at the Tower of London. It was incredibly busy, but it was still a stunning sight and well worth a visit.
Day 304 – 31st October – Halloween! Guess which mummy failed to get a pumpkin? I stupidly thought I could pick one up on the day, but there were none to be found! So this is my son in the Freddie Krueger make-up he did himself. I’ve made it black and white and filtered it a bit to help disguise him.
Day 305 – Saturday 1st November – the leaves show that it’s November, but the sky and the temperature are suggesting September!
Linking to Project 365 with TheBoyandMe Pop over to see what others have been doing with their week.
The poppy installation looks amazing and thought provoking too. Nice Halloween get up! We avoided trick or treating here! This weather is barmy isn’t it? Oh, I’m so tempted to have a little run soon but am panicky about the old knee 🙁
The weather is amazing! My kids just like calling at people they know for Halloween and I always go along too 🙂
I don’t know how Hubby did it but he came home on Thurs with a pumpkin. Said there were loads where he went, but I had been hearing stories of everywhere being sold out.
He did well! I could have got one on Wednesday, but I was on foot and they were too big to carry! I thought they would still be available on Friday, but I was wrong!
I can’t believe how busy the Tower has been this last week, heard so many people saying it was rammed. It’s a wonderful installation isn’t it. They have spread so much since our last visit #365
It is wonderful! They were still adding to it while we were there.
Those poppies are incredible and I was so pleased to go and see them too! Love your sons Freddie Kruger make up! #365
He did really well with his make-up! It was fantastic to go and see the poppies 🙂
Love how we’ve both chosen the same picture at the end this week! The poppies look amazing and those Halloween costumes are pretty impressive too!
Thanks very much. I thought it was a coincidence we had both chosen such a similar Saturday picture!
Your guinea pig looks like he’s about to do a performance!! 🙂 I love telling everyone my friends helped put those poppies in place. Took them all day and more I think they were part of a massive team.
What an amazing thing for your friend to do! There were still volunteers ‘planting’ them when we were there the other day.
I really wanted to go and see the poppies but the tubes were too manic when we visited. Freddy Kruger looks amazing!!
The tubes were crazy when we were there too. The crowds were incredible!
Loving the Halloween get ups – they look fab. Must get around to doing some bulb planting before it’s too late.
Thanks very much. The Halloween costume was all his own work! I thought I needed to get on with the bulbs as time was definitely running out!
The Halloween costume looks fab. I can’t believe how sunny it’s been the last few days considering it’s November (having said that, it’s now pouring with rain out there!)
Ha ha, we’ve had rain too today! The weather has been amazing lately.
The poppies look amazing, would love to see them. #365
Thanks very much. I’m so glad that we were able to go and see them.
Thanks very much. It was a pretty good half-term!
OMG that costume totally gave me the ebbie jeebies! *shudder* those films still give me nightmares!
That is the exact reason why I won’t let him watch them! He’s desperate to watch them and won’t accept that age ratings are there for a reason.
that red mass of poppies is so striking and poignant.
your sons Freddie costume is really good – how doe she know of that character? that was around when i was teen , although i have never seen a Freddie Krugar film!
xx
The poppies really do look stunning, I would have loved to be able to visit them. Your sons costume is amazing, if a little too scary 🙂
Love the poppies and the dressing up this week
That Halloween outfit is incredible.
Those poppies are stunning, wish I got to see them
