New Year's Eve Pyjama Party!

What am I going to do?  Wails Peggy Sue.  There just isn't enough room in my bedroom for a pyjama party!

The girls look at the usually unflappable Peggy Sue.

Why don't we get the quilts down from up there?  Suggests Astrid.  We can then take them to the other room and put them all on the floor for people to sit and lie on.

Peggy turns round to look at the quilts on top of her wardrobe.

That's a good idea!  Stevie says.

Right oh.  Peggy Sue says as she starts to climb on her bed.

Careful Peggy Sue!  Stevie says.

I will be.  I've done this before.  Peggy Sue tells the girls.

She reaches up to the top of her wardrobe.

Let me help you.  Stevie says as she reaches up to help Peggy Sue get the quilts down.

Got them!

They are heavier than they look.  She says as she holds them in her arms.

All the girls take a quilt each and Little Owen folds up the bed quilt, although he is fairly certain he isn't going to be able to carry it!

A little later with some help from her friends and Little Owen...

This should be okay don't you think?  She asks Stevie.

Of course!  Stevie answers.

They go off to get some toys and things.

This should be enough to keep us busy.

Sure looks like plenty. The girls agree.

We've got puppets, books, blocks, dominoes, cards, radio and of course we will need to get some snacks later.

Do you think we need anything else?  Peggy Sue asks.

I am sure that will be fine.  Stevie and Astrid say.

Who is coming? Stevie asks.

Henry is bringing the new boy Donny and Rory.  Chrissy said she will come but she is not sure if any of her friends can come except perhaps Nisha. Peggy Sue answers.

Sounds good!  Astrid says.  Could Edith not make it?
No, she had to stay in as they were having family to visit.  Peggy Sue tells her.

Later on the party starts...

They seem to be in the full swing of things.

Peggy Sue is of course stuffing her face  I mean eating a cake.

Rory is already starting to feel tired. He has brought some of his froggy friends with him.

I wonder if they will still be awake at mid-night?!

A Musical Soiree?

Some of the girl have formed an eclectic band of sorts...it is all 'top secret' apparently, but I have heard various noises sounds coming from the music room...

I see we have Sasha and Maddison on the maracas, although Maddison still wants a drum set, Stevie is on recorder, Molly hand drum and Emily on the harmonica.

Elsewhere...

Peggy Sue is making sweet sounds on her saxophone.

Party Preparations!

Emily, Sasha and Stevie have donned their aprons in order to prepare for Peggy Sue's birthday tomorrow.

They are discussing what to make.

Stevie looks in the fridge to see if they have milk for the baking.

Emily turns on the oven and Sasha prepares the mixer.

They have decided little cakes always go down well.

Stevie passes Sasha the milk while Emily waits for the cake mixture to be made.

Emily pops the cakes in the oven.

She is wearing her oven gloves so she doesn't burn herself.

They chat while the cakes are cooking..

Some time later they are ready to be taken out of the oven.

Emily carefully places the tray on the table.

The cakes look wonderful!

Some rather animated discussion between the girls over what else they need to do to prepare for the party.

Various party games are suggested.

As well as other types of snacks and drinks that might be needed.

They leave the cakes to cool and decide to go to the other room so they can make some lists.

Sasha leads the way ....   she is on a mission....

Peggy Sue in Blue Gingham

Tee hee....

Tra la la la la la

Wearing blue gingham...

What are you doing Peggy Sue?

Oh nothing....
