Halloween means two very different things depending on if you have kids or not. You probably either spent the evening hiding behind a pillow watching The Exorcism of Emily Rose, or up to your arms in green face paint chasing little ones.

James Breakwell, comedy writer and father of four girls under six years old, was certainly of the latter camp while the family prepped for their spooky festivities.

From attempting to get costumes ready to the never-ending politics surrounding sweets and treats, Breakwell tweeted about the Halloween activities he shared with his girls aged six, four, two and 11 months with hilarious results.

Whether it was recounting his girls’ frank attitudes towards the occult or exploiting his youngest to gain more Halloween candy, not only are the posts a brilliantly refreshing account of fatherhood, but will have you struggling to hold back many a chuckle.

You’ve got to wonder how many sweets the girls actually ended up keeping hold of.

And Halloween isn’t truly Halloween without a child’s ambitious attitude towards pumpkin carving.

And who doesn’t want to wear their Halloween costume before the big day?

Or live the brief dream that we can, in fact, live off sugar.

And at the end of it all is the dream of a decent night’s sleep.
