Dillon and Dylan

When I started ante natal classes before I had my eldest daughter I already had Mr.Dylan the dog. Consequently he has a special place in the hearts of some of my otherwise non dog loving ante natal friends. All the children love him and he has always been very gentle with them. When K had her twins 2 years after our firsts she said she'd always liked my dogs name and would I mind if she named her new son the same! So here are Dillon and Mr.Dylan!

We had a mad Halloween party, 12 children and baby Hector for games and spag Bol with blue spaghetti, mummified sausages, spooky gingerbread house ( I made it and it actually looked ok !!), blood and snot jelly with spiders in, chocolate soil and oodles of sweets. I'd done adults food too so all the dad's came after work too and got sent straight out trick or treating. Our road comes into it's own on Halloween, so many houses decorated and happy to have trick or treaters. My amazing new screaming box that I bought with GuernseyNix lowered down a gigantic spider when people turned up, to be fair I was the most excited by it! Everyone piled back in then 2 more families with 5 more children between arrived for tricking and stayed. Mark had to go out for more beer a few times and it was complete chaos and utter madness in a good way! Obviously I completely forgot to take any photos at all!
