Firstly, on Thursday at school, her year were given 24 hours notice that the elections for this year's House Captains would be on Friday. So she spent all afternoon and evening on Thursday writing a speech for the elections and practising it. She even asked me to wake her up early on Friday morning so she could practise before school as well (getting up early is virtually unheard of for Molly).
Jake and I spent all of Friday bursting to know how it went. And Molly must have been bursting even more than us.
And when I went to collect her from school that afternoon I heard a little voice shouting across the school grounds - "Mum! I'm House Captain!" . The speech had been given, the votes had been counted, and our Molly had been elected! How proud are we....!
And on Sunday she had her birthday party. As she's now older, we restricted the number of party guests to just six. But crikey, I had completely under-estimated how much noise 6 eight year old girls could make. OMG. My ears are still ringing!
After a disco for the first hour - during which virtually the whole of Wellington was treated to a screaming rendition of One Direction's "Midnight Memories" about 56 times - they finally quietened down and made some jewellery.
And then a big water fight in the garden, lots more screaming, and some afternoon tea!
