The dino ice cream cake was rather impressive when it came out of the freezer. So much going on, and the best part was that it was gelato. Everyone liked it, most of all SV who really enjoyed blowing out the candles and picking the dinosaurs off. EV was not shy about getting into the cake, which apparently accompanied her meat pie nicely. Despite a small accident, it was a wildly successful party which everyone enjoyed.
SV got to pick how she wanted her birthday party to go. She chose the location, theme (dinosaurs), decorations, snacks and games. She was really involved in the whole thing. On the day she was really excited as she hung out with her good friends and managed the games. There were quite a few games, can you guess all of them? MV was also right in there with the big girls and boy, doing everything they did. EV on the other hand was overwhelmed by the noise and need some alone time at one point.
After all that racing it was time for the awards ceremony. The girls each had their time on the top step.
As it turned out, nothing went wrong. The girls were a bit nervous at first but soon got into it and were hooning around the circuit with confidence. Even bumping into each other to get by. EV sat out the first round because she wanted to see how things went, but went with TV the second time. She wanted to go one more time by herself but unfortunately it was too late. Something to look forward to next time.
TV took the girls to Vinnie's birthday party who is EV's friend from school. The girls were quite nervous about the entire affair, but after some lollies they warmed up. The catering was all authentic German food which was excellent. None of us were hungry, which meant that it was soon time to go racing. What could possibly go wrong?
Some of our friends came over and helped us decorate for Halloween. It was fun to put up the decorations, especially trying to figure out where all of the spiders would go. The big challenge this year was the wind which was rather intense. It did give things a bit of a scrappy look though.
MV was really keen to get some blue hair. KT found some time and temporary hair dye to make that happen. MV wanted a different look to that of SV where she had streaks of blue throughout her hair rather than just having her ends all the same colour. It turned out pretty well, but wasn't quite as vibrant. Looked good though, especially in the sun.
