We all know what today is don't we? I baked the pumpkin muffins (Amy's yummy recipe).
I consulted with the boys and translated their designs into pumpkin form. 
We dressed up and hit the neighbourhood for trick-or-treating. And we returned home to find this on our doorstep.
What kind of genius courier thinks leaving a glass aquarium on the front doorstep of a pumpkin lit abode at 6pm on Halloween is a sensible idea? Miraculously it seems unscathed. Thank you pumpkin gods. Our incredibly fast growing goldfish will be eternally grateful.
And thank you all for your sympathetic response to my whining last post. When we were going through Mark's assessment, some kindly professional asked me if I had any support. I don't think she knows about the force that is craft-bloggers.

Do show the goldfish, or have you before and I missed it?
The jack o' lanterns are wonderful.

I love the little nostrils. I like getting them to draw on the pumpkins and then cutting out the features Pumpkins are very forgiving!

lovely pumpkins, I made the mistake of one pumpkin, two children, so it has two faces, and looks extremely odd!

Leaving fragile packages on the doorstep at Halloween isn't the most brilliant of ideas for sure. I'm glad all is well.
Your Halloween celebrations look like fun and I hope everyone had a grand time. I certainly did!
It is amazing and heart-warming to know that loving support is only a click away--I'm glad that you found solace.

Glad your fish tank survived! The pumpkins look fab and I am going to try the muffin recipes as we have got literally a ton of pumpkin flesh to use up!

Lovely pumpkin faces and they look great on the plant pots.

Love your pumpkins (missus!!!). Do you think the courier was playing a trick or treat on you? Glass tank/shards of glass, depending on how good your pumpkins were?

Glad you're feeling a bit better
