Mario Bro's Birthday party!

 My son was crazy about super mario bros so for his 6th Birthday we had a super mario bros party. I made the cake and as usual Creative and messy...my castle collapsed but it's okay because It did not affect the taste! It was hard to find Mario supplies so I made Luigi hats out of  poster board and elastic string. I also used other printables to help decorate.

 For games: I downloaded the mario theme song  and used a black ball as a bomb. We played hot potato with it. I also did a Gold coin hunt. I hid Gold coins and had the kids find them. Then we did an obstacle course set up with different characters in the mario game. At the end of the party we did a pinata that I made to look like king koopa! It was alot of fun!

Princess Tea party with Pirates!

 My youngest daughter wanted a Princess Tea party for Her 4th Birthday. A lot of her Friends were boys so I decided to incorporate Pirates too. 

 I made the cake.  Cakes have become a fun hobby of mine. I love being creative with them, although my cakes come out a little messy looking my kids don't seem to notice!

The tea table: I used my teapot and saucers but used disposable tea cups for the kids, They were all between the ages of 1-5 so a little to young to be using glass tea cups. Instead of tea I made pink lemonade. I took heart shaped princess plates and a toliet paper roll, painted pink. I glued the TP roll in between the 2 paper plates to make a 2 tier tea tray. On it I put turkey and cheese mini sandwiches cut into heart and star shapes. Also homemade butter cookies. I bought disposable table clothes and wraped them around the chairs and tied them with ribbon. I also got a great deal at a yard sale on the wall paper stuff. I still have so much of it and use it at almost every birthday party I throw.

 For games I made a pin the jewel on the crown and x on the pirate map. I also made Swords out of black poster board and bought wands for the girls. Some of these are in the picture below. We did nail polish and jewelry for the princesses and pirate hats and eye patches for the pirates. Kids had a great time!
