Halloween Party!

HelloOOooOOo! Happy Halloween! It took a LOT of begging, but mum let me have a Halloween party, which is great because Halloween isn't really a big thing where I live. I wouldn't have even dressed up otherwise! Can you guess who I am? It's a bit of a stretch because it was so last minute, but I'll tell you at the end of the post!

My room is fairly small, so mum let me have the party in the living room, but I didn't think it looked spooky enough, so I ran to grab some decorations and set them down on the coffee table.

I started off putting some pop-up ghosts by the fireplace ...

...as well as some hiding behind the sofa; ...

...I placed a glittery spider web on the mantel, ... 

...hung up a "TRICK OR TREAT" banner ...

...and finished with a smattering of hand drawn bats across the back wall.

Just then, I heard a knock at the door and I rushed to the kitchen to get the snacks before anyone arrived.

I baked some last minute double dark chocolate chip cookies this morning, I didn't have any other snacks so hopefully my friends would enjoy them.

The second I placed down the cookies I heard someone walk into the room behind me, it was Olive! Or should I say, it was a pink frosted doughnut!

Olive's costume was perfect for her, lovely and sweet! I told her this and she laughed, she complemented my decorating skills (especially my banner) in return.

We were so busy trying to out-compliment each other that we didn't hear Ottile arrive, she snuck up behind us and shouted "Raah!"

Olive jumped behind me as Otto giggled and apologised. She said she guessed she should be saying "Hoot" instead of "Raah" seeing as...

...she came dressed as an owl! I loved her costume, it suited her very much.

I left my two friends as they debated whether owls say "Hoot" or "Twit-Twoo" so I could run up to my room and grab my laptop. Once I was back we all sat down on the couch to watch a movie.

I wanted to do a whole movie marathon but mum wouldn't let the girls sleep over and didn't want them getting home too late, so one movie would have to do and then the party would have to end. Nevertheless, I'd say it was a very successful Halloween!

BOO! Uh... I mean bye! Hehe, by the way, I was Molly McIntire the American Girl doll!

My Favourite Things About Autumn!

Hello hello! Just stopping in with a quick post telling you my favourite things about Autumn, but first, do you like my new fairy lights? I changed the bulbs, they're so cute and I love the light effect they create.

Anyway, on to the post! I love wearing big comfy cardigans and sure, you can wear them in all seasons; isn't in more fitting in the Autumn though? I think so.

My next favourite thing is sitting inside, nice and warm next to the fire. It's lovely to go out all wrapped up warm, but after a long day not having to worry about being cold is great.

And last but not least, staying in bed! This time of year, it's perfect to spend your weekend curled up with your laptop, nice and cozy!

That's it for this quick little post, have a wonderful Autumn! Byeee!

Belated Birthday Surprise!

Heyo! You'll never guess what I found out at school today! Apparently, Otto's birthday was over the summer; she even had a huge party! Olive and I didn't get to go because we were both on holiday. I was so upset that I missed it, but I was even more upset that I didn't get to give Ottile a present.

So, I came up with a plan! I had Olive meet me after school and told her my plan...

...then we got some supplies...

...and taa daaa! We did some drawings for her! The walls in her bedroom are very bare, so I thought she'd love to have something to hang up.

 

We walked the distance to Otto's house and her mother let us in. I made sure that we were both super quiet and then I pushed open the door and yelled "surprise!"

Ottile looked up from her book in shock, "Hey guys!", she said giggling nervously.

We explained that we were sorry we both missed her birthday, so we drew her some pictures to decorate her room.

"Oh," She said "I actually got a poster for my birthday, so my walls aren't bare anymore!"

"Uhh, we didn't know that." said Olive looking at me with worried eyes and flushed cheeks. Ottile laughed, "No worries!" she reassured taking the gifts and sticking them up next to her bookshelf.

She stepped back, "What do you think?" 

Olive smiled and I told her they looked perfect. "Thank you so much guys!" She said, pulling us all in to a group hug.

Happy (belated) Birthday Otto! Bye guys!
