The party is OVER and it was a big hit! We played loads of games, had 11 giggling girlies and ate tons of ice cream cake! The kids loved the hot dog octopus's (but don't bake em, they just get hard and "crusty" according to Serenity). You just cut em and boil em (or wait till after b/c you forgot and burn your fingers LOL). Here is my 6 year old in her new outfit from Auntie Sarah and her crown!
We had balloon issues - we ran out of helium, so we had to thumb tack them to the ceiling (way cheaper to do this in the first place I guess) and the ones we did fill were like mini grenades (let them go and wait for the scary POP!) Overall, we did get the effect we wanted though.
There was fishing for felt fish (more on that later)
Had some crab races - masssssive giggling as they stumbled over their skirts!
1/2 hour before the party was scheduled to be over we ran out of stuff to do ACK! Brilliantly, I decided to let them watch Serenity's new Barbie "A Fairy Secret" movie which most of them hadn't seen. They were so worn out that you could have heard a pin drop!
The party was a great success and Serenity said that she had "the BEST time EVER!" I had one parent tell me that her daughter now wants a great party at home, just like Serenity! Very cool!
What was your fave birthday party theme from when you were a kid?
PS - I used 26 rolls of streamers! Good thing they were cheap!
