Mario Party (Felix's Birthday Party)

H A L L O W E E N

The Armstrongs LOVE Halloween (Well with the exception of Mr A)

However we will always make a big deal out of the scariest night of the year.

As usual some friends of ours have a BIG halloween party we go to every year, we all donate either sweets or cake and I made a massive spooky graveyard cake. 

This year both Ophelia and Felix chose to dress up as Dracula! 

And I went for the corpse bride look.

A few days after the English Halloween party the kids and I  jetted home to Denmark for a week holiday. And since we were there on the night of the 31 October we had to have a Halloween party for all our danish friends and their children. We brought home a suitcase full of spooky stuff to decorate the house and it was a great success with lots of scary cakes, 'blood' jelly in tubes a ton of sweets, 

spider wed and bloody knifes hanging down from the ceiling.

 The kids even went 'Trick or Treat' down my parent small road, 

do I have to mention that the kids loved it.....

Thanks to all the scary kids and their parents that came to the party:

Julia the Witch
Clara the scary Scarecrow
Viola the Witch
Arthur as Ben Ten
Selma the spider
Valdemar as Valdemar
Christian the scary clown
Marlene the scary doctor
Mia the skeleton
Lasse and Johan as not so scary witches...

Mormor the Witch & Bestefar as the very scary pumpkin

The Rainbow Party

My big 'little' girl has turned 7!
She had her Rainbow party last Sunday as planned, 9 little girls turned up all dressed in their favourite colour from the rainbow and trust me they were ready to party.... 


We had a few things lined up for them to do. They started with the Pinata game, which is always fun, though the Pinata was so tough that even after 30 min bashing there was only a small crack in it! In the end I had to turn it upside down and shake the sweets out. 


Then they had The Rainbow Birthday cake!  I must admit that I was rather pleased with the result as it came out perfect when we cut it,  phew! 
Trust me the cake is not as difficult to make as it looks :-) I saw the idea on pintrest a while ago and then googled different recipes, I ended up using this one. The little cupcakes was also an idea I got from pintrest, I made them lacto free so Felix could have some cake to.


After the cake the girls went upstairs and played a few party games, they dressed up and were listening to very loud music! Ophelia had planned for them all to make their own masks, so we turned the dining table into a glitter galore and they all made a beautiful mask each!


The afternoon went really quick and I almost had to rush them down stairs for dinner. They had homemade chicken nuggets, chips and salad, followed by 'make your own ice-cream' They loved it!


They all got picked up around 6pm, and Ophelia had made them all a little party bags to take home filled with sweets and a toy!
Camilla our 'holiday child' was a great help through out the party and the days before, she helped making decorations and party bags.


All in all a great PARTY


Wonder what the theme will be next year? Any suggestions?
