Kitchen Decor

Now to do the kitchen.  I wanted to create a fun colorful kitchen, that would give the "UP" theme.

 

I purchased several plastic table cloths in lots of different colors

 

Cut them down the middle

 

Tied the two ends together

 

And hung above the table

 Pretty!!!!

 

 

I was happy with how it turned out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friends Since We Were Five

 

 

I have a life long friend who I met in Kindergarten.  We met in Mrs. Hardin's class.  I don't remember many of my teachers names, but I remember her.  Erin and I have now been friends for 27 years.

 

She had her first child and I had my last child about a month apart.

 

Isnt that hat adorable?

 

Her son had an adorable mustache party.

 

And of course we had to properly utilize the cup cake décor.

And this is what we are like, even when we go out.

Scooby Doo Party

When Noah turned 5 he was IN LOVE with Scooby Doo.  Obssessed might be a better word.  We decided to use a character company & have the whole gang to the house.  The Character company we used also did the whole party, it was great & so easy!

We found a picture of a cake like this on the internet & my awesome sugar mama made it for us!

we had face painting

Whats cooler than a scooby-doo tag on your face?

NOTHING!

Noah was totally in love with Shaggy, Shaggy was his favorite, and the man who played Shaggy did an awesome job, he was so sweet to Noah & it was really memorable

The owner of Kikks and Giggles personally does all the partys & leads party games.  It makes it so nice on the mom!

I really loved this cake!

Playing Scooby, Scooby, Shaggy!

Lunch Is served!

The Gang is all here!

And we had a great ti

There was lots of swimming.

 And present opening.

Just one more funny thing.  Aunt Amy got Eli two dwarf African frogs for his birthday with my approval

He was so excited.  The ladies at the toy store said "don't worry, they are both males so you don't have to worry about babies"  Great I thought.

 Then the boys came and got me because the frogs were hugging and it was so cute

 ya its super cute.  And we might have baby frogs soon

Noah's 6th Birthday

Mad Scientist Birthday Party

My oldest son just turned 6. (What is going on?)  We had a fun mad scientist party for his birthday.  It was a hit!


Invitations:

 

Purpose: Noah Murdock’s 6^th Birthday Party
                    Hypothesis: Mad Scientist parties are more fun.
Date:

 Time:

Location: 

Information: Rsvp to

I put this in a word document and sent it to our local printing company.  Very inexpensive invitations & he loved them, he thought they were so funny.  Now its party time!

When the children arrived they each were given a lab coat (a white t-shirt cut down the middle) a radio-active science badge, a bow tie & safety goggles

Then it was time to do experiments.  I had everything pre-measured, which made things so much easier. 

We did 6 experiments.

The first was poloymer squares, or silly squares, we put the dehydrated silly squares in our test tubes and set them aside to look at, at the very end of the party.  I also had some in a test tube that I had hydrated the night before so they could see how big they get.

Next we mixed our goo.  I found some goo kits in Targets dollar bin.  There are recipes for home made goo at Steve Spangler Science as well as tons of other cool ideas, the good just intimidated me for some reason, so I was glad to have a kit.

Insta Snow!  This stuff is so cool.  I had bought some around Christmas time & the kids love to play with it.  I pre measured one scoop in each test tube, then the kids dumped it on to a plate & added the pre-measured water.  They were amazed when it grew! 

Lava Lamps.  This one was my favorite.  You have your test tube filled 3/4 of the way with cooking oil, then you fill the other 1/3 with water (oil and water were pre-measured so they just added to the test tube)  Then each child adds food coloring.  You talk about whats going on, why are the oil and water not mixing.  Then each child had an alka seltzer broke into four pieces.  You add one pieces at a time and it makes a lava lamp!  So cool.

I thought we would finish the indoor science experiments with a messy one.  Test tube volcanos

Each test tube was pre-filled with colored vinegar, we gave each child a plate and had them hold the test tube over the plate as they added the baking soda.  Lots of "cool" and "wows!" were heard.  Then we all washed our hands and headed out side for the BIG grand finally.

Mentos and Coke

I should have had several bottles of diet coke and mentos for this.  After this one the kids started yelling "do it again! do it again!"  But we couldn't

I made his cake in the shape of a Volcano & cut out room for a cup (plastic) then we added dry ice and warm water.  The kids thought this was so awesome!  And it was easy to make.

This science party was a hit!
