Happy Halloween!

I don't usually do anything to celebrate Halloween, but this year as my brothers were having a party, I decided to go home for the weekend. I hadn't been back home since the summer holidays so it felt good to see my family again and to chill out for a few days. It always feels so relaxing to be back with my family, I sometimes wish I could go home more often but its pretty far to travel and recently I've been busy with work so I haven't had the time for it.

On Saturday we carved the pumpkin (when I say 'we' actually, my brother did all the work and I just drew the face shape on :p)

The finished pumpkin lit up at night with candles

He looks pretty cute not scary...

My brother and his girlfriend decorated the house ready for the party. I think the fake cobwebs look pretty cool. Since my brother is studying film-making at university, he has a lot of lighting and a smoke machine which helped make the house look more spooky.

I ate too much food again! I think I need to go on a diet again soon...

We made some pumpkin flavour cupcakes with spider-web style icing:

They also got some beer cups shaped like skulls which were pretty cool:

One of my brothers dressed as a creepy Alice-in-wonderland-esque Rabbit thing. He got some red contact lenses which looked pretty awesome. I was some kind of evil-fairy-thing (my costume is fairly useless, I'm afraid).

My other brother dressed as a pimp which was pretty funny. My brother's girlfriend in the middle is dressed as a zombie-schoolgirl....creepy.

Lots of my brothers' friends came and they all had good costumes, including a ghost, superman, rorschach from watchmen, austin powers and lots of other things. It was a fun night.

Today, I ate Sunday lunch with my mum and brothers then headed back to Cambridge ready for hospital tomorrow. Now its time for bed...night night
