Birthday parties are a strange phenomenon aren't they?Most people would just prefer not getting older all together i think, I mean aging with grace is a concept I fully grasp....But how do you do it?

In anycase, I have decided seeing as my birthday is on the 8th of oct if I delay the party a bit I may as well have a halloween birthday party!

Now for all of you who don't know, Halloween isn't really such a big thing in South Africa(which sucks), we definitely don't go trick or treating for instance. But some people do put in a little effort to wear a witches hat to work or buy a ton of candy.

I have decided however I am going 1980's-American-on-this-parties-Halloween-ass and spent a fortune on decorations...I am even gonna buy pumpkins closer to the date and try and make my own jako'lanterns.

Any words of advice from Halloween pro's though? What tools can I use to shape the pumpkin that wont be too difficult to find?any recipes for pumpkin fritters or something that I can actually make from the pumpkins gooey insides?

I would really appreciate any advice as I am not really that good at crafts or cooking,so please do keep that in mind!
