Charlie is 9! Hard to believe my baby is dressing up as Brandon Flowers for GPK day. GPK stands for Growing Positive Kiwis. It's a program they have at school where the kids exhibit positive behaviour and are rewarded with celebration days once in a while. Charlie was delighted that his birthday coincided with both the end of term and GPK day. The theme was 'red carpet' and the kids had to go as a rock star or movie star. Charlie's favourite song is Spaceman by the Killers, whose lead singer enjoys wearing jackets with feathers sprouting from the shoulders. Gracie went as Mary Ingalls from Little House on the Prairie. I suggested that she go as Laura, but she was very firm that she should be Mary, as Mary gets to wear her hair out.
Anyway, after a great day at school, we went out to celebrate the birthday at Burger King, and then came home for the alien cake. This was an easy one to make - it turned out very different to what I had planned - the four arms and wings I had planned were a bit too hard and had to be ditched, but no-one even noticed.
