Dinosaur, Dragon & Bumblebee

We took a trip to our local Bunnings store and just by chance, there was a face painter there.  She was extreeeeemely talented.
You will see why below.  It took her less than 5 minutes to paint the boys faces and look!!!!!  I asked if she we could hire her for our next party!!!!

Dragon (Declan)....Grrrrrr!

Dinosaur (Lucas)....RAWR!

Brothers hanging out!

Bumblebee gone wrong (Nici).

Nici smeared the face paint before it dried but still looked cute. We thought he looked more like a robber than a Bumblebee....lol.

I have face paints and brushes, I should start practicing!!!

Boys will be boys

Here are some new pictures of the boys.

Lucas and Declan on the fire truck

I haven't taken many photo's lately but you know what they say,  it's all about quality not quantity.

Ciao for now!

Add a little pepper and salt

"I'm youth, I'm joy, I'm a little bird that has broken out of the egg".

Our boys certainly love eggs and whenever I ask 'what would you like for lunch or dinner?' they always scream EGGS.

As a result, we are looking at buying little chicks as pets for the boys.  Nothing better than a productive pet I say!

Here are all three boys making scrambled eggs today.  The best part for Declan was grinding the pepper, for Lucas it was mixing the eggs and for Nici is was licking the salt.

You can see through all of this Lucas was focussed and concentrating on mixing those eggs.

Our boys are going to be future Heston Blumenthals!  I hope :) 

To cut or not to cut

Our three beautiful boys get their first little boy hair cut.  Very cute I say !

All Aboard for a Train Party

I really enjoyed organising this party.  To see our boys faces when they arrived at the miniature railway all dressed up in their railway workers outfits was priceless.

 

I chose red and black as the theme for my twin boys birthday party.


Red and black balloons were punched out of paper then were scattered on the table.  The cutlery was wrapped in a black napkin then tied with twine. You can just make out a black box under the rectangular red dish.  I painted the tops of cardboard boxes and used them to elevate platters. Giving the table a little more height.


Two holes were punched on the right hand side of the lolly bag labels to hold a balloon.  That way every child left the party with a balloon.

Train cut outs from black cardstock adorned my cupcake stand.  The silhouette image was found on the internet. 

There were cupcakes with liquorice tracks and others with stars in the midnight sky.

This mini birthday cake banner was made to match the life size one I made for the party.  A little twine and skewers was all that was needed to finish the mini banner off.

I was inspired by other sites for the train cake and colour scheme but the mountain cake and mini banner was an experiment by me. 

Happy 3rd Birthday boys!
