Chocolate Butterfly Cupcakes

Hey hey
I made cupcakes with my Dad today...

Yeh that's it

Enesti

Ahem...

Hello, this is Zara
Hey hey It's Nesti
We have some news for you
Yes an educational decree one might say
What?
I'm in the HP mood
Ok
:D
 But first, a points update
Over to you Miss Zara
Why thank you Miss Enesti
My pleasure... the points?
Ah yes, Gryffindor remains unchanged on 65 points...
*polite clapping*
As does Slytherin on 75 points
Very well done
Now Hufflepuff has made an advance, earning 20 points, making the points total 200 points
It's incredible! *loud applause*
And Ravenclaw has managed to earn 35 points, meaning that they are now on 215 points, giving them the lead. 
WOOO GO ME 
A little big headed Enesti...
Sorry Zara
That's alright. Onto the announcement
Yes yes the announcement
Ahem, we (Enesti and myself) have come to a conclusion
For the good of us all... 
Would you like to do the honours Enesti?
Yes... Well... We have decided to cancel the House cup/Non bummer Summer
Because it caused many an argument and really, only Enesti and I were participating
Exactly, there were heated disagreements and it wasn't working as planned
So, Enesti and Ravenclaw win the cup. Congratulations
Yay I WIN!!! ner ner Sorry
Well, I suppose you're allowed to celebrate.
I vote that you win the Quiddtich cup though.  
There was one of those on offer?
Well there is now.Most of your challenge things were physical
Ok...
So the Quiddtich cup goes to Zara and Hufflepuff
WOO   
Congratulations  
Thank you for that grand honour
Hehehe  
So, Challenge called off because it was problematic. I also had an idea for a blogging roster...
Oh Yes... Inform us of this genius idea Zara
Well, there are seven days in a week
Wow Didnt know that
Enesti... And as there are four of us
Another amazing dicovery
I thought that we could all have an assigned day, on which to blog and then the other three days are on roster so you get one day off a month.
Genius Shotty not Monday! Can I do Wednesday?
Yes of course, that works well.
:D Yay!!! 
So that is all the news I can thing of for now.
Same here...
Thank you for reading this slightly insane post.  
It wasn't insane
It is when you read back over it
Ok ok... Whatevs
So, goodbye
Love Zara
Fare thee well
Enesti

P.S BLOG YOU TWO!!

Thrill Points #5: Boating in a Freezing Lake

My typing sucks today....

Anyway, last of the thrill points posts! Kayaking in a lake the size of Singapore, I am not lying, Lake Taupo is that big! And it's really cold and the bottom is covered in sharp rocks and volcanic sand. The lake is a crater created by a volcanic eruption and over many years has filled with water. The rocks there are special because they float! The New Zealand Iron Man is held there once a year and they all wear wet suits when swimming. I was just wearing normal swimmers... Anyway, I digress!

So, we were staying at my Uncle's wife's family's holiday house in Hatepe. Little tiny place on the lake shore Hatepe is. After we got back from Rotorua we went down to the "beach". There were my cousins with an inflatable boat. My brother and I had a turn, discovered we didn't know how to paddle and almost hit the outboard motor of another boat. That was fun... Then Junior (cousin) and I got into the boat and her dad pulled us around until my brother boat crashed and our uncle pulled us all in.


Anyway, later we remember that there are kayaks at the house (Tui Glen, don't ask). SO, my brother and I convince people to let us take them to the lake. Before I continue with the story let's called my brother Wallaby because he needs a name.... Moving on! I hadn't been kayaking in a while when we started out, Wallaby was determined to capsize and capsize he did! In water that he could stand up in, I was holding his paddle. I spent a lot of time just paddling around, we went out to a barrel maker, I went around one of the sticky out bits and discovered more beach and I even had an almost nap in my kayak.Then I got it into my head that sitting on the very back would be fun, which it was, until I fell off! I was throwing rocks at my uncle though....



So all in all boating and swimming in Lake Taupo is cool, in both ways... It was so much fun and I think that next time I get the chance I am definitely going kayaking again, but avoiding blisters on my hands!

So, my kayak was obviously the yellow and green one, my life jacket and paddle matched, Wallaby's is the blue and white one, his life jacket and paddle matched. And yes, in the last inflatable boat picture I am squirting my uncle with a fluro water gun, even though we are in a lake...

Do I get points for matching life jacket, paddle and kayak?

Love Zara

Enesti

Points

So, Enesti actually did post about Christmas presents and I missed it when I was skimming over the blog. Ten points to her. She gets 20 for *censored musical* because she helped with it. And five for actually blogging.

Apparently, I'm getting ten points for each thing I blogged about yesterday, so that's forty in total. And five for this post.

Nira and Hazel haven't earned any points as they haven't blogged. Hazel is over seas though. Nira, WHY ARE YOU NOT BLOGGING!

So: Ravenclaw has 180 points because Enesti and I decided that forty points for room decorating was a bit too much.
Hufflepuff has 180 points.
Slytherin has 75 points
Gryffindor has 65 points

Now is the part of the blog where I go, holy cow! How did I get the same number as points as Enesti?? Please explain before my brain overloads!

Ok, so there you have it, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw tie breaker! I'm off to post about Kayaking in a freezing lake!

Love Zara

Pied Piper

Hey hey

This is going to be one of a few posts from me today....

So #1 - THE PIED PIPER!!!!!!

This was absolutely amazing and I had SO much fun. Please comment about points worth.

I was an assistant director!
The whole process of the show took 2 weeks. Day 1 the kids turned up and we played some games and did a few audition-y things. Over lunch the other directors and myself did the majority of casting. we then went back and played a few more games and stuff then over afternoon tea we fished casting. In the last hour or so of the day (3-4pm ish) we went over the plot and gave out people's scripts. ALL IN ONE DAY!!

For the next 4 days we blocked the entire show. We then had the weekend, then 2 days of dress rehearsal and finally 4 days of shows. We had 2 shows a day.

On the last day, my friend Ducky (previously mentioned in my posts) and 2 of my other really close friends, Kazoo and Myrtle, held a somewhat not really but still kinda surprise party for me with 2 harry potter cakes. THANKS GUYS!!!!

Phew, end of post 1.

Excuse while I die of TMBD

TMBD- Too Much Blogging Disorder. I have this, this is my fifth post for today, I am exhausted.

Ok, thrill points people,

In last place with 65 points is Gryffindor (Nira), you would have a heap more points if you blogged about your camp becuase each of those is worth 15 points per challenge.

In third place with 75 points is Slytherin (Hazel) same comment as Nira to you.

Ok, Enesti and I have the most but I have found a few faults in this. 1) That Christmas thing you organised, you were the only person who did it so I don't think you should get the ten points for creating the challenge, it's just fairer that way.I won't count them for now but in brackets I will put what happens if you had them 2)I did blog about my Christmas presents, do I get ten points for that or not because the rest of you haven't talked about them yet. I'm not counting those points for now (Again with the brackets thing) 3) I forgot about only one blog post a day earning you five points and just counted all of them.... so to save myself going back and counting again, those count now BUT if you plan on blogging with more than one post a day they have a purpose which is seen and recognised, i.e Thrill points. Enesti, that icecream truck one is counted but anything else like it won't be.

Hufflepuff (Me/Zara) has 125 but might have 135 if present points are counted. That 125 is counting this post. This is not an accuarate count as I don't know how many points I am getting from each challenge I have blogged about today.

Ravenclaw (Enesti) has 170 points but 180 if those points are not ignored for want of a better word.


Recap: Ravenclaw 170 (180 maybe)
Hufflepuff 125 (135 maybe) (Plus pending points from challenges)
Slytherin 75
Gryffindor 65

It looks like it'll be a battle between Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff for the top spot and Slytherin and Gryffindor will be fighting each other for to stay out of last.

Good luck to all, I am not posting again today, I have no need and I'm actually going to sleep now. That's a lie really, I'm off to edit again.

Lots of Love and Luck from Zara.

P.S I WANT ANSWERS PEOPLE!
