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
