The mummy game......

Halloween 2011

Halloween 2008
Halloween 2006


Have you ever played the Mummy Game???? It is a traditional part of our Halloween party as you can see!
In each of the above photos is one of my children can you spot them?!  It can be tricky when they are all dressed up. We always do something for Halloween and usually end up hosting a party for the children and their friends followed by trick or treating. I was discouraged from celebrating Halloween growing up so it makes me a little bit OTT about it now as a grown up, decorating the house inside and out!

Today's brief tale (mostly told in pictures!) was brought to you as part of Sian's story telling Sunday please visit her blog here to read more.

  6. lol! Clearly a popular choice with your family :) I played this with a group of young people we'd done a holiday club with, shortly after The Boy was born. Our team won, because our 'Mummy' had a baby!! ;)

  10. Oh yes, I've played it - crepe bandages, crepe paper rolls or toilet paper - all are fun. I too love to decorate and set things up, it has been odd the last couple of years not to do anything or not much.
