Boys Birthday Party Update!

Well Garran and I have been working really hard to get everything ready for the boys birthday party. We decided to make a home made pinata instead of buying one. Well maybe we should have. We started making it without a clear plan of what it was going to be. So we put a face on it. Well Garran then painted it red which made it look really scary. Too scary for a kids party. So then I added hair and painted it green to make it look like a witch. Well it looks a little scary still. The picture makes it look shiny but it is not. It is still a work in progress. But I thought I would show you guys at least where we are at from last time. So here is the pinata. (When Garran' s mom saw the pinata, she said "Well it is definitely something you would want to swing a stick at!")

After the pinata, I started working on party favors for the different families that were coming. Their are party bags for the kids but for the different groups or families. I decided to buy medium pumpkins for each family and paint them. They can each pick a pumpkin to take with them when they go home. Some of them turned out really cute. Some just turned out OK. I am sure all you crafty people out there know how that goes. Not everyone can be perfect I guess. Hopefully everyone will think that they are cute though. If not I will take them home with me. I love them!

Then the other party favor that I am working on is take home ghosts. I wrapped tootsie pops in Kleenex, put ghost face on them. They are cute. I put them in this little pumpkin tin that I found at hobby lobby. Everything will be nice and organized hopefully when the day of the party comes. Right now I have everything either in a rubber made or on a bookshelf, hence the pumpkins on the bookshelf. OH well. It is fun. I hope everyone coming has a great time. Next up date will be pictures from the party. Everyone in their costumes. I just can't wait. Super Fun.
