This year, Kory wanted to dress up as a pussycat. He was a cat last year, but who am I to argue with recycling a costume?! So a pussycat he was. In the morning he had to go in fancy dress to nursery. It was really nice seeing all the kids dressed up in the morning. They weren't having a "Halloween Party"....oooooh noooooo......it was an "Orange Day Party"....potitical correctness gone to far in my opinion.
Anyway, they played with green spaghetti, sang songs (in the hairy scary castle??!!) , made orange playdoh and ate orange and green jelly, yuck! That's all I got out of Kory, but I'm sure there was more.
In the afternoon, Krystal got dressed up like a wee fairy and we headed to Leanne's house for a party. She'd done the house up really nicely, and arranged games for the kids (brave - it was chaos!) like ducking for apples, dipping apples in chocolate and decorating them & hunting for skeleton limbs. There was loads of food too. The kids had a ball.
In other news - my Dad went home last Thursday as he's gone off on his hols. On Sunday, Mum and Tom arrived. We went out for a chinese buffet which was nice. I hadn't been sure if I was up to going before it, but am glad I did get out the house. Mum did the nursery run all week (I went on Friday to see the kids dressed up!) which gave me a lovely break.
On Tuesday Tom headed back down the road, and mum got stuck into our ironing that had somehow got very behind over the past few weeks, despite James doing loads while I was in hospital. I also have nice shiny bathrooms, thanks Mum!
On the whole I'm feeling a bit better than, say, 2 weeks ago when I got out of hospital. I am completely wiped out though, which is not like me at all, I'm normally running about like a mad thing. I still have chest pains which make me feel like I can't get a breath sometimes and still have a tingly face and neck, although my arm has lessened in tingle levels.
By Wednesday evening, I was getting cabin fever so decided to go to the big Asda for a nosey. It was the first time I'd driven and it was fine. They had a bargain on which Mum decided to treat us to. A Wii Fit Board for only £64! We had been asking for one for Christmas between us as most places have them for £100, and the only couple who have them for less have been out of stock for ages. Again, thanks Mum! As I type, Kory is hula hooping and has just finished snowboarding!
Today (Saturday) Mum got an early bus down the road and we've been chilling out doing nothing as I seem to have become accustomed to!
