Charlie's Angels...

Jasmine and Juliet went with their friend Elle to a paintball Bday party last week and they felt all ready for it!!

Ready to beat the boys!! There were only 4 girls against all the boys, so the pressure was on :-) 

But with this kind of attitude you can beat anybody!

It's a real fun location called the Woods, check it out here, if you need a great idea for a Bday party!

You need to drive through quite some adventurous path and even water to reach the location, so the drive to it is already fun!

I was a bit scared to drive through this water with my low beemer... but I survived :-)

The location is gorgeous!

The Woods paintball place is located right off William Nichol in between Dainfern and the American school, so easy peasy to find!

Another great day in Africa!

Happy 10th Bday sweet peas!!

I am still behind a few days, so here is my post about their actual Bday, April 27th. The party is over but the girls had 6 friends to sleep over, so the party was not really over yet....

We planned to go to the movies after breakfast and opening all the gifts and then at midday all the girls would go home again, and we had time to celebrate Jasmine and Juliet's Bday with just the four of us.

What a difference some make up does, here they look again like my 10 year olds.. not like the 15 year olds they looked yesterday!! Happy Bday sweet peas!! We love you very much!!

At 5am the girls with their friends who stayed over for a sleep over opened all these gifts that they got....

After that we all had breakfast together, 8 girls on my breakfast bar :-)

Then later when everybody was gone they opened our gifts, they had to wait quite a while, but it was still the 27th!

Here with daddy, eventhough boyfriends are starting to be interesting, he is still their favorite man in the whole wide world!

And here with mommy... thank you for all the gifts and the FAB party they were saying... at least they still appreciate it all ;-)

It's all behind us, the girls truly enjoyed all the festivities at school and home, and since we only have 1 month left before school finishes the girls have this weekend and the coming weeks so many Bday and Goodbye parties planned it is not funny anymore!!

Only this weekend they have already 3 planned, no wonder these girls know how to party, they get enough practice!!

Double Date, Juliet and Aviv and Jasmine and Ijzac are 'dating' Not standing next to each other though...
from L to R: Ijzac, Juliet, Aviv and Jasmine.

Both their 'boyfriends' are moving away to either home country or another expat location. So saying goodbye is another thing they will be good at after a few years being an expat kid, because this happens all the time as well!

Well, up to 5th grade after the big break off 10 weeks and who knows new boys on the horizon... at least it is still innocent and I hope that it will stay that way for a long long time!! But looking at these social butterflies I am afraid that soon the innocence will be lost ;-(

Have a good day,

Party Time!!

We celebrated the twins Bday on the day before, since April 27th is FREEDOM day here in South Africa and everybody has a holiday.

So we had double parties, one at school and the BIG one in the evening, more pictures about that later!

The cupcakes and cake I ordered at Kadies baking shop, they can do any theme, color or shape. They are wonderful! The cupcakes and cake (which unfortunately I forgot to take a picture off :-( are RED chocolate inside. I wanted red velvet, but they couldn't do that, but they accomodates with dark chocolate and made it red, looked equally fabulous!!

So we had skulls and black roses with a 'plastic' icing, since the girls don't like all that fluffy frosted cream on top.

The cup cakes were in the party's theme: Rock, Punk & Goth

Jasmine and Juliet were a bit shy when all the kids sang the Bday song for them...

Here is Jasmine with her classmates

Here is Juliet with her classmates, unfortunately her teacher was sick that day :-(

It was a gorgeous day outside, so the Bday party was for both classes outside, the kids had their cup cake and played a bit before the school ended.

A good start for a Bday weekend!
