What a mess!






A messy time was had by all! We had M's "friend" birthday party yesterday, and it was a lot of fun. The weather was perfect and we got about 9 or 10 kids there. We first did our messy "stations," which were:

Painting the house with shaving cream and paint brushes
Cornstarch-water "goo" in pie tins
Pudding/chocolate syrup painting on parchment sheets
Water balloons
Speghetti fight (this was possibly the hit)

Then we ate a finger-food lunch, then we decorated cookies with gummy worms, sweettarts, m & m's, and sprinkles. This was instead of a cake.

After presents, M handed each child a candy necklace and they went home.

The cleanup wasn't that bad, I had the kids play a "game" of picking up the balloon pieces, and the rest was hosed off. (thanks mom!)

Thanks to everyone who participated, it was fun!

I can't post pictures now, it won't let me, but I'll try later.

That sounds like so much messy fun! It's always good when kids can make a big mess without getting in trouble.

That sounds awesome! I'm so sorry we missed it. But I'm glad everything went well and you had a good time.

We had a B-LAST. Thanks so much again. Kami loved getting messy (even if her clothes didn't have a spot on them-it was a controlled mess) I'm probably stealing your idea so just warning you! :)
