Room makeover

Daisy has long since grown out of her small desk. It was an old school desk that we chopped the legs off many years ago to make a coffee table. It's been Daisy's desk since she was 3. We've been talking about getting a proper desk for her, then our neighbour put an old one out on the nature strip. So we snapped it up. It fits perfectly and is pretty much what we were looking for. Daisy loves it.

A superhero party (again)

Hugo chose a superhero party again this year. His party was on Saturday, the day before his birthday. We had 12 children in all and we were stuck indoors on probably the wettest day we've had in a long time. But pass the parcel, bashing a pinata and birthday tea kept everyone busy.

We forgot to get the camera out in the midst the frenzy of bashing the pinata, but here are its broken remains. 

Hugo is keen to start playing football (soccer) and chose a soccer ball cake. He nearly picked a soccer ball pinata too, but his love of dinosaurs won.

Birthday time

Halloween party

Daisy chose to have a Halloween party for the first time this year. She invited three friends from school for games, dinner and trick or treating.
We tried apple bobbing and eating jelly snakes from dangling strings.

Shoved our hands in cold green porridge to find hidden treasures.

Carved pumpkins (with help from Scott)

Ate pizzas

Had birthday cake

And then went trick or treating
