Crazy hair party
27 March 10
Yesterday was our friends’ daughter K’s tenth birthday, but her celebrations were saved until today, when five friends came over for a “crazy hair party”. I am always inspired and encouraged when I’m in the company of older girls — it’s fantastic to be able to look forward to a new level of relationship with our four!
We cut a stencil out of paper to spray the star shapes onto Z's hair.
When I started doing the older girls' hairstyles, I realised that they didn't want "crazy hair" so much as "beautiful-but-a-little-bit-way-out" hair.
In the division of labour, Mel sprayed the hair with funky colours, and I styled it.
We had more party food today.
After all the girls' hair was finished, we started on their nails.
K is such a good big sister. She has loved to nurse Delaney, even in the middle of her birthday party! (But look at Dell's face — what *is* she saying?)
This is the first time Aisha has had her nails painted.
Brioni's nails were painted and she got little decals on them too.
This is Calista's "don't take my photo" face.
Then her eyes pop open.
The girls showed Cali their new nails, and her reaction was comical.
Calista gave such a good reaction to her sisters' nails, soon everyone was showing her theirs.
Then M volunteered to paint Calista's nails too.
Happy tenth birthday, K!
Melinda made a delicious copha-biscuit layered cake, K's favourite!
I was working on the computer, creating mug shots of all the kids.
Aisha always gives such a good mug shot. She wanted a very minimalist look, with only blue glitter sprayed on.
Brioni was so patient, sitting quietly while I made all these little ponytails.
Cali's hairstyle was one of my first attempts at "crazy hair".
Here's my mug shot. I did the Princess Leia thing for my own hairstyle and stayed away from the colours. (I was afraid that they wouldn't come out without shampoo.)
