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!

Toy story Party

For Jonny's 5th Birthday we loves "Toy Story" So that is the theme we went with. On his Birthday I had these cupcakes above and took them to his class at school. Basically cupcakes with toy story stickers! Then we had a party which him and Logan (my nephew) shared since they have the same birthday. For Decorations I Bought Toy story tableware...which is rare for me by the way hate spending the extra $$$ but this party needed it to give it the full toy story affect :0) For games We set them up carnival style and seperated the kids into groups and they went to each "booth" together.

The claw game was one of our games. I made this pizza planet sign by printing off alien images (from google images) the filled a cooler with toys adding Jonnys toy story alien toy in there. They had to use the claw to pick through the toys to find the alien.

Next was Woody's Rootin Tootin Shootin Gallery. I made this sign with Google Images. Then My parents bought this target with gun shooting game and the kids played it to try and shoot the target.

Next was one of the biggest hits Buzz Lightyear rocket blast! I have a buzz lightyear sprinkler. It has a water control stick on it and when you let the water run it blasts the rocket into the air.

Then we also did Toy story Roulette with our toy story yahtzee game.

We had a big cake for both boys then they each got their own.

It was a great party!!! Now I am wondering what my next one will be!!! Besides christmas Birthdays are my favorite time of year!:0)

Rock Star Party

Our little Rock star maddie turned 7 last year so what else then have a rockstar party!!Invitations I made by googling images of girl rock stars and found a cute rocker girl. The invitation told everyone to come dressed as rock stars. We started the party off with big craft stars. The kids put their names on it and decorated them with markers and stickers. For decorations We got camp rock paper supplies. I bought the blow up guitars and Microphones at Giantpartystore.com they had a very good prices on both items! We bought the stage from overstock.com it was easy to assemble and came with a microphone and speaker.

We played freeze dance and when they kids were "out" they got to pick a prize from a box.(I do not like sad kids who loose at parties :o( I made 1 box for girls full of clip on earings, neckelaces and rings. I made a boy box with wrist sweat bands and sunglasses. The winner got a pack of "POP ROCKS"

We also played pass the microphone (hot potato) When they were out the got another toy from the box. The winner also got "POP ROCKS"

I got karaoke disney and kidzbop music and let the kids have a talent show.

I made the cupcake cake. I love cupcake cakes b/c the pull apart aspect makes it so easy to serve!!

We had a ROCKIN good time!:0)

Pinkalicious

Madilynn's 6th Birthday was inspired by her Favorite book at the time, and the Pinkest story ever! If you have never read the story or PINKALICIOUS to your daughter you absolutely MUST!! If you have read it this was a super fun and girly party

For invitations I made them on my computer by using graphics found on google images. on them I told everyone to wear pink to the party. Decorations: I made this Pinkalicious peek a boo sign. I was lucky enough to have a tall box and cut out a long side of it. I made a transparent print out of the book cover with my printer. Then I used my church's overhead projector to trace it onto the cardboard which I had already painted pink. I traced everything but the face and just cut that part out! The kids loved this part! Everyone got a turn to be pinkalicious!

We played hot cupcake(hot potato). I don't like kids to cry at parties so when someone was out the got their crown and wand. I bought the paper crowns at party city. I made the wands out of dowel rods, yellow posterboard, light pink and dark pink streamers, hot glue gun and glitter.  I do not have a picture of it but I'll tell how I made them. I cut big stars out of the yellow posterboard. Then I used a gluestick to put the glitter on the star. I cut strips of both pink streamers. I put a big dallop of hot glue on the back of the star, put the dowel rode in the middle of it then stuck on 2 light pink 2 dark pink streamer strips. It looked just like pinkalicious's wand. 
Then we went to the table and read the story of Pinkalicious. In the story there is a part where Pinkalicious has to eat all green foods so after the story we ate green food on green plates. Grapes, pickles, lettuce and kiwi's.

Then we decorated cupcakes just like in the book. Everyone got a pink cupcake. I made 6 frosting bags with dark pink and light pink frosting. We also had pink sprinkles and cherries.

I bought a cupcake cake pan but I didn't have much luck with it. It fell apart twice :0( so we ended up with just the top of the cupcake but it was fine since everyone had thier own cupcakes anyway.

We also played a pin the cherry on the cupcake game. I painted the cupcake and cut out red construction paper cherries for the kids to put on! This was a fun and inexpensive party at about $50 dollars but again alot of crafting and prep time!
