We love Halloween and the kids always make an effort to dress up – even if the costumes only stay on for an hour or so usually!
I’m not a fan of trick or treating but the kids are (naturally) so we compromise and I generally take them around the houses we know in the street and then we come home and have some Halloween fun of our own – between answering the door to the constant knocking that is!
I thought I’d share some of our Halloween traditions with you….

Who needs trick or treating?
