My first South African Birthday Party.



Last Friday I went to Rosie's birthday Party.  Rosie is a girl in my grade and it was so nice of her to invite me because I am only new and she didn't know me very well yet.   I brought her a make your own ballerina kit. When we got there we had to put the presents on the table. There was a painting table all set up to make T shirts.






We had to pick the size T shirt we wanted, then put rubber bands around it about 20cm apart. Then we painted in between the rubber bands.  







When we took the rubber bands off, it looked like this. Do you like it?





Mum says I can use it as a Pyjama top.





After that we got a drink and some party food. There were bees all around the juice. I guess they wanted a drink too! Rosie's mum put out a dish of jam for them to eat instead. But they didn't! 

We had a donut eating race. Apparently I came 5th. The girl next to me in this photo is Georgia and she came 2nd. I liked eating the donuts and even ate one of the spares.

One of the other games was picking up mini marshmallows with chopsticks. You had to do as many as you could in a minute. I only got 6. It was tricky! Most people got over 20. You should try it.





My favourite game was pass the parcel because that is the only game I won! I got to open the last layer and it was a big block of bubble chocolate. One girl wanted it so bad she said she would pay me $15.00 for it. I said no, because it was a chocolate I hadn't tried before. 

Last of all, Rosie got to hit a kitty cat piƱata. Lots of lollies came out that I got to take home with some helium balloons to share with my brothers.


I have a riddle for you which I will tell you the answer for next post.

What is black when clean and white when dirty?

Tricky huh. Get your thinking caps on.

Love Lucy.
