Brandon's 6th Birthday Bash was a space theme. He told me he wanted a solar system cake. It turned out pretty well & in the process I learned to paint on fondant - so did Jamie & Mom.
Nick made a couple of photo cut outs. I chose a couple clip art pictures & he projected them onto large foam core boards and traced them. He also added little handles to the backs so the kids fingers wouldn't show when we took the pictures. They turned out great!
Laedyn, our little hooligan, had a great time making silly faces at me...
I had mark blow up a bunch of balloons and stuff a high bounce ball in each one - we called them comets... The kids had to try to throw them thru the hoola hoops. The balls inside the ballons made them fly in unpredictable patterns. The kids had a great time.
Brandon decorated a piece of PVC pipe to look like a rocket for a ring toss game. We used glow in the dark bracelets for the rings, and then the kids got to keep the bracelets.
I made an earth pinata. It didn't take long for the kids to destroy it. Lesson learned about pinatas? Don't use a teeball bat and don't forget a blindfold! It only took four hits. I don't think anyone was too horribly disappointed beacause there were a ton of goodies in that thing.
