Whose family are we going to meet today?

Eva's!

Eva is five and lives with her mum, step dad Karl and baby brother Ben

in a town.

She also spends lots of time with her dad, who lives close by.

I wonder what they're up to today.

Happy Halloween!

You're going red.

-Am I going all red? Whoo.

-This is really tough.

Eva and Mum are getting ready for Halloween.

-Tickle tickle.

-Aah!

-Tickle tickle.

-Aargh!

You monster. What do you think?

That's a really good pumpkin.

-Boo!

-They're putting up spooky decorations,

ready for a party later.

Oooh-oooh-oooh...

What do you think?

That looks brilliant. I love it.

We're going to have so much fun.

-Sticky, isn't it?

-Yeah, sticky situation, this is.

-That's looking creepy.

-You think it looks creepy.

Eva's putting plastic spiders on Mum's web.

It actually looks like a haunted house.

Eva wants to play a little trick on her friend April, with Karl's help.

Eva, why don't you make a booby trap with some string and a bucket

-for when April comes in?

-Aw, yeah.

-That's a good idea.

What we'll do, we'll put some of this in here.

So, we put it in there.

-This'll be good.

-Mm-hmm.

We're going to trick April.

I'm going to put this on top of the wardrobe.

We'll put a string on so you can pull it down and get her.

Lots of purple paper worms. What fun!

I'm going to tie some string on the handle. When she comes,

you make her stand here, say "I want to show you this"

-and pull it down and it goes on her head.

-It might go all over her body.

-With the jug stuck down...

-There you go. Do you know what to do?

-"Look here."

-So, I come here. Then what do you do?

Pull the string.

..the purple worms will fall all over April.

All ready and just in time, here comes April and her dad.

Who's at the door? Go on, Eva. You can get it.

-KNOCK AT DOOR

-Is it my friend?

-No, mine.

-April!

-APRIL:

-Eva.

I have to go on the mat because I've got no shoes on.

Come here, close your eyes.

Eva shows April around her Halloween haunted house.

Look, Karl made this.

It's a robot one.

These three are my favourite.

Look at this one.

Ooh, scary, that one is.

Oh, and look, glitter.

Will Eva's Halloween trick work?

Have a look in my cupboard.

Don't worry, April, it's only bits of paper.

THEY LAUGH

Paper purple worms everywhere!

Eva and April are taking turns at guessing

what's in the Halloween mystery box.

I can feel something

tickly on the bottom and hard on the top.

Hmm.

Is it a unicorn?

-Nope. Apple.

-How did that get in there?

This apple's going to be a tasty snack for Eva.

It feels...

..soft in the middle and hard on the side.

Cake!

No, it's a plastic saucer!

I've got something. It is squishy.

Oh, I know. Orange.

You have to lift it up.

Banana.

How did a banana get in there?

Oooh.

April finds a banana and Eva almost loses her apple.

Your turn, go on.

Here you go.

I feel something...

bendy.

Lots of things are bendy.

Orange, I guess.

-One of my shoes!

-Oh, my goodness!

-How did that get in there?

-I don't know. Let me try.

I feel something like a cylinder.

Um, cake.

Eurgh. What's that?

An aubergine?!

-Let's open it.

-Yeah, let's open it.

And see what's inside because there's a surprise inside.

-Do you know what's inside?

-No, I don't but it's good.

I haven't seen this before.

It's a surprise, silly.

A mystery object from the mystery box.

Let me smell it.

-Can I smell?

-I can't smell anything.

-Let me smell.

-I can.

-No, I want to open it.

-I want to. I want to!

I want to.

Maybe you open it on this side, I'll open it on this side.

-Cool. Auber-me-gine.

-Open.

It's not an aubergine.

I think I know what it is! I think I know.

It's a cylinder onion.

-What's inside?

-What's this?

Because it looks like an aubergine because we've opened it.

It's called a shallot.

-Shallot? I like it.

-I like it shallot!

A shallot is a bit like a sausage-shaped onion.

It's party time and here come more of Eva's family.

-EVA'S FAMILY:

-Happy Halloween!

-Hi, Nana. Hi, Lizzy.

Eva and April dress up in spooky costumes.

April, you look fab.

Oh, thank you, Eva.

Time for a family Halloween party!

Who's up first for bobbing?

First, a traditional Halloween game, apple-bobbing.

It's lots of fun but grown-ups have to be in charge.

-Can you get one? Go on, Eva.

-Your hair's getting out.

-Can you slice the apples so it's easier?

-No, it's got to be tough!

-EVA'S GUEST:

-Take a deep breath and then go in.

THEY LAUGH

-It's getting up my nose.

-APRIL:

-Ha-ha, my goodness!

-Come on, Eva!

-Eva's struggling to pick up an apple. It does look hard.

-Use your teeth, Eva.

-EVA'S GUEST:

-Come on, Eva!

Eva, use your teeth. Got it?

Mum gives a helping hand.

Yeah, she's got one!

Well done, Eva. Come on, grab a spot.

I took a bite.

-April, do you want a go?

-Yeah.

All right, let's let April have a go.

April's turn to bob for apples.

-EVA'S GUEST:

-Push it down the bottom, get your face in.

I wonder if April can do it on her own.

-ALL:

-Come on, April.

-Yeah, you've got one!

THEY CHEER

Now April can eat the apple as a prize.

The girls are very excited about the next game.

Girls, grab your toilet roll.

-Ready...

-Yeah.

-Set.

-..steady...go!

They have to use toilet paper to wrap Karl

and April's dad up as Egyptian mummies.

Go on!

Come on, girls! Let's go, let's go!

No, it's fallen off!

Mum wants to play too.

Come on, girls. We're a minute in, keep going.

Hurry, girls. Not long left.

-20 seconds left, girls.

-20 seconds, April.

-APRIL:

-Ah, I need help for his belly.

Get it, get it. Go, go, go!

-ALL:

-Three...

two...

one.

-And stop.

-Time's up!

And Granny decides the winner.

I declare a draw.

Ready...steady...go!

Now it's Eva and April's turn to be mini-mummies.

-KARL:

-Keep spinning!

-EVA AND APRIL:

-Come on, April.

-APRIL:

-Get some on my feet!

They'll be dizzy mini-mummies after all that spinning.

-ALL:

-Three, two, one, stop!

April's dad is the winner.

-Good game, April.

-Yay!

I'm going to wrap her!

Just one last Mummy mummy to make now.

I'm a Mummy mummy. Argh!

What a spookily good Halloween party it's been.

I wonder who we're going to meet next time on...
