Today we held Evie's Birthday party. It was a far cry from last year's 14 kid party. Suprisingly, it was just as loud. Girls scream a lot.
The theme was science experiments. For once, we had enough for them to do to fill the 2 hour time slot. First, we started with chromotography of Crayola markers.
Then we moved on to showing how your sense of smell effects how you taste things. We did this experiment with Jelly beans.
Everyone had a partner.
And then the mess began. We made slime. This was by far the messiest and loudest activity because there were a lot of girl screams.
Paige thought it was cool.
Lizzy let the slime fall off her fingers.
Gracie just went nuts. Note to all parents out there, this is a good outside activity. Lots of cornstarch all over the floor.
Cadence had a great time.
Evie makes a super long slime string.
After slime, they all went out side and shot off a mentos/diet coke rocket. They also played with some dry ice while I cleaned up the slime mess. Then we sang Happy Birthday. The cake was recycled from last night because the baked ice cream melted in the oven. Whoops, science doesn't always work on the first try.
The crowd at the party
Everyone enjoyed cake, opened presents and then it was all done. A success. I then retreated to my big TV to sleep off my cold medicine in front of a couple of basketball games.
