Now let’s skip the squabbling, grab a bucket of popcorn and get ready for the ultimate Halloween which will have the seal of approval from the whole family.
As my children are getting older, they are less and less keen to go Trick or Treating and getting dressed up for the occasion, so staying indoors watching a good film has become a norm. We are very much loving spending time at home to stay warm and cosy too, especially over the weekend! Of course, not forgetting to have plenty of snacks and a takeaway for an extra treat!
With these great titles, this half term and Halloween are sorted! We also like to bake yummy cookies and decorate it with Halloween theme colours! Baking is one of Ms C’s favourite pastimes and it is a great way of spending time together!

Robin is bound and determined to remedy that situation by becoming a star instead of a sidekick. With a few madcap ideas and a song in their hearts, the Teen Titans head to Hollywood to fulfil their dreams. Things soon go awry, however, when a supervillain plans to take over the planet, putting the very fate of the young heroes on the line. Both of my children were thrilled when they saw the trailer and now we all can’t wait to watch it!
