Pippi and Ron are having a Halloween Party for their friends Mark and Tania. Pippi carries in a pumpkin that Ron has carved. She puts an apple pie in the oven for later.
She has the pizza and quiche ready for the oven. Ron comes into the kitchen. “I’m going to make a wizard’s hat,” he says.
He has cut the pieces out in his bedroom but wants to make the hat at the kitchen table where there is more space.
“That looks like fun,” says Pippi looking over from the sink.
Ron is ready to start sticking the stars onto his hat so Pippi comes over to see how it looks. Meanwhile, the kittens are play fighting in the middle of the kitchen floor.
“I am finished, how do you think I look Pippi?” “Wizard!” she replies. Pippi has some Halloween bunting for decorating the kitchen for their Halloween party.
She hands the bunting to Ron, “will you help put it up above the stove, please?” “No problem! I’m really looking forward to the party.”
Ron sticks it up with some tape. “I really like your hat Ron, I think I’ll make myself a witch’s hat.” “Pass me a chair please, Pippi,” Ron asks.
“It needs to be a bit higher,” Pippi tells Ron. Pippi then returns to the kitchen table to finish her witch’s hat.
“Something smells good,” Ron says as he fiddles with his radio. The apple pie is ready. “Ooh, can I have a slice?” asks Ron. “No, it’s for later” she replies.
“But we can have a cup of tea now,” she says, bringing over the teapot and a bowl of fudge she had made earlier.
They give the kittens some milk too. “Mmm, lovely fudge Pippi, very moreish,” says Ron.
Just then, Mark and Tania arrive for the party. We made you broomsticks they say, “aren’t they cool?”
“Wow, that fudge looks yummy,” Mark says as he takes a piece.
Ron and Mark are racing around the kitchen on their broomsticks. “Please be careful, one of us could get burned on the stove,” Pippi says, as she opens the oven to check the quiche and pizza.
“Mine is a Nimbus 2000!” says Ron. “I’ll beat you in a race then,” says Mark “mine’s a Firebolt!” “Typical boys,” says Pippi.
The boys’ race around the kitchen. “Will you two go outside and give us some peace!” Pippi tells them.
“Let’s make masks for wearing tonight when we go out to trick or treat” “Great idea Pippi, they’ll look great with our costumes.” Those pesky kittens are at it again!
The boys come back inside, all puffed out. “I won!” boasts Mark. “In your dreams” retorts Ron. “Look what we have been making,” says Tania “we’ve made masks for you too!” “Great, any chance of some grub?” asks Ron.
They all tuck into the food. “Pizza’s my favourite,” says Tania. Pippi likes quiche. But the crisps and fudge are finished first! “Would you like some apple pie?” Pippi asks. “We’re too full,” the others groan!
After tidying up, they dress up to go trick or treating. “I’m a warthog,” says Mark! “Do you like my pussycat mask?” asks Pippi.
“Halloween is coming… and the goose is getting fat… will you please put a penny in the old man’s hat… if you haven’t got a penny then a halfpenny will do… if you haven’t got a halfpenny… then god bless you…” they chorus.
The kittens have the run of the kitchen. Mark and Ron’s race ahead leaving the girls to carry their pumpkin buckets. “Stay together” mum warns them “don’t rush ahead where I can’t see you.”
“I’m sure I got the most!” brags Ron, as they all troop into the kitchen.
“I think Pippi has the most,” says Tania. “It can’t be you, Ron, you’ve eaten most of yours!” teases Mark.
“I think we should empty our buckets out on the table” suggests Ron “and share out the sweets and chocolate bars.”
“I thought he’d say that!” giggle Pippi and Tania.
Tania and Mark bring out the basin for apple dunking. Mark tries first.
He gets wet dunking, while Ron tucks into yet another chocolate bar. “Me next!” Tania and Pippi tell Mark.
The fun continues until Tania and Mark’s mum arrives to take them home. “We had such a great time, thanks so much, see you at school on Monday.” “Thanks, mum,” Pippi says after they close the door, “we had such a great time!”
Have a very spooky Halloween everyone!
