Bonfire Night 2012 (by sarah)
Bonfire Night saw m and Jean cooking away - we attempted ice box cookies but it went a bit wrong - Jean ever resourcefull decided to turn them into bone sliver biscuit slivers.
We made some spooky chocolates as well with white chocolate 🙂
Not to mention a Fire Works Night cake 🙂 complete with an icing Guy Fawkes on top 🙂
Once all the cooking was done we popped out the decorations I'd gotten for Halloween which then sort of hadn't happened for us as we were at Cubs!
Jean toasting a marshmallow! A giant marshmallow! Baby scoffing a non-toasted marshmallow 🙂 And a tray of giant marshmallows - we still can not believe the size of these things!
I love my purple spider mug add in the glass eyeball stick that my friend Ulrike gave us and it is perfect for spooky drinks 🙂
Of course Jean's glowing screaming skull straw is pretty ace too 🙂
We had snacks 🙂 Little jelly ghosts, chocolate covered witch biscuits and chilli spider web pretzels.
Then we had indoor fireworks! (it was pretty miserable outside which is why we were not out at a display as planned plus there had been a good fireworks display at Legoland anyway!).
We did do one of them outside though as it was a fountain 🙂
After the in door fireworks we lit a fire lantern 🙂
After the outside stuff we had toffee and chocolate apples 🙂
The cats who should have been hiding from the fireworks - followed us out into the garden to see what all the fuss was about and seemed completely unworried about the fireworks. This being our first fireworks night in a built up area with them we were concerned but it was all fine in the end 🙂
