So Halloween is almost here - I know it's a rather stupid corporate thing these days but growing up in the Astaire family it was always fun - Mainly because my Dad used to go all out with our costumes and the yearly pumpkin designs and stuff. He used to glory in making them absolutely fucked up. People used to come across town just to see them and he even got in the local news paper. My favourite one was he had about 10 pumpkins all being 'hung' from the tree in our front garden. Every year his designs used to freak out the neighbours let alone the kids! Much to our delight of course.
Anyway having a 3 year old boy I decided to revive the Halloween tradition and step up. It's Halloween day today at my lad's nursery and we were all asked to bring a pumpkin in for the Halloween party they are having this afternoon. Apparently they were all being judged - Lots of Mums and Dad's brought there pumpkins in. I was quite proud of mine but hilariously I got a call from Nursery 20 mins ago telling me to come and pick mine up as it made a little girl cry and freaked out a bunch of the kids! LOL! Somewhere in the cosmos I reckon my old Dad would be pissing himself! It's not that bad - Bloody lightweights!
