the Winning Pumpkin

Bella's school had their Autumn Fair, with something of a Halloween feel to it. The kids went dressed up, although who would want to wear a black witches outfit when there is a princess dress to be worn. Sebby also eschewed his new Dracula oufit for Peter Pan (or Robin Hood?).

Bella entered the pumpkin decorating competition. True to form she decided she wanted to do a princess, so shortly after a took half my thumb off, (thanks mum for the new knife, turns out it is indeed very sharp), she decorated it suitably princess like, with one of the 12 black bob wigs I seem to have, and various accesories. Turns out the princess stood out amongst the many scary faces, and she won the prize for the best decorated pumpkin. Hurrah, the thumb was worth it.
