My week has been very Halloween orientated, pumpkins, monsters, Hotel Transylvania and dressing up. It’s been exhausting and I still (Friday afternoon) have to carve the pumpkins although I’m hoping I’ll get away with just one to be honest.
Half term saw us visit the Tower of London to see the poppies and get caught up in the world’s biggest crowd. So big that we decided against visiting the Tower until another time. We also tried our hand at breaking a few world records at the Guinness World Records party this week who are celebrating their 60th anniversary. Our challenges were to burst balloons with our bottoms, teaspoon jelly from one bowl to another and wrap a present complete with bow in the shortest time. A lot of fun was had and it brought back memories of Roy Castle but alas no records were broken. Dedication, that’s what you need if you want to be a record breaker, yeah!
My Best Post of The Week is going to my lesson in photography and top ten tips for taking photos of children. Plus information on a safe online storage for all your photographs because if you are like me you have them on hard drives and all in a mess. Not any longer with this great idea.
How about you? Has your half term gone smoothly, what’s your pumpkin looking like? Leave your #MBPW in the Linky below and have a wonderful weekend.

Your pumpkin was the best I've seen this year. And I've just finished ordering Frozen leggings for Christmas. It won't be the last Frozen merchandise i buy either.
