So what's popular with your average 9 year old girl? From her present pile I would guess: notebooks, monkey themed pjs, 3/4 leggings, books, DVD DanceTwister, art materials, the label maker, clothes (but only if purchased by a favorite aunt), monkey themed knickers (!) and anything cat-themed. And anything wrapped in "cuuuuuute" paper.
Yesterday, we had the aforementioned party an indoor climbing place nearby. Fifteen crazy boys and girls did this:
Then they descended like ravenous locusts onto the party food and demolished these cupcakes
grabbed their party bags and headed home.
Padawan Learner left one thing behind - his front tooth. His story is that he accidentally hit his mouth while he was climbing and it fell out. I'm thinking he needed a cash injection to his pocket money supplies and thought that appealling to the tooth fairy was easier than making his bed each morning.
This evening we are planning a roast lamb dinner with all the trimmings and yet another cupcake "cake":
After which we will all need a week to recover from the sugar high.
Happy 9th Birthday KelpieBlossom!

Good to see that 3-tiered afternoon tea serving plate (I'm sure it has a proper name, which no doubt Mrs C.E Humphry could enlighten me about)enjoying a new lease of life as a cupcake dispenser. Maybe that's what I'll call the aforementioned object in the future - a "cupcake dispenser"...very 21st Century.
Looks like it was a fabbo party. Another present to join the pile on the floor is in the mail.
Sending our best birthday wishes! Love Team SAK
Yes, the Cupcake Dispenser was a gift from my friend Army Wife.
I used two different cupcake recipes and the jury is out on which one was better. The climbing party cupcakes were a classic Aussie "Melt'n'Mix" recipe which we use for our school cupcake stall, while the dinner ones were a Martha Stewart recipe. Will blog the recipes later.
Thanks for the birthday wishes Team SAK. Will pass onto KelpieBlossom.
