May The Force Be With You

 

Well we've had another birthday here.

3 hours of crazy good times.

 

This one was Star Wars themed.

There were so many ideas out there that it was so easy to do.

When the kids came in they were each given a Jedi outfit and a light saber.

My older girl and her friend ran a quick class in Jedi training, they were so much fun and the kids loved them.

 

Then they had to put their skills to the test in the combat zone.

It was fun and a little crazy. 

 

 Gratefully with

 pool noodle light sabers

 NO kids or  T.V. 's were hurt.

 

 

Let the attack begin.

 

 

 

I made Jedi robes for all the kids and "Leia buns" for the girls.

 



The cake this year was a

 Yoda cake

 

That's right he's holding a knife cover instead of a light saber.

It's called improvising.

:)

 

 

Made a death star piñata that would not dry,

 so it didn't get painted....oh well you live and learn.

 

I've always made piñatas in the summertime

and they dry so quickly,

this was day two and it was still wet in places. 

 

 That didn't stop us from having fun though.

 

 

Some could really hit it hard and eventually it started to rip.

 

 

Oh the frustration of a soft saber and 6 layers of newspaper.

 

 

The kids also got to decorate a droid,

 which was really just a big cookie of R2D2, some icing and candy.

 

They turned out really cute. 

 

 I love the big cookie idea, it is

the same one that I used for

 gingerbread houses.

 

The cookie is about 10" tall.

 

 

I believe the kids had the best time just playing with their light sabers.

 

I am all about making memories,

especially birthday ones, as my mom did such

 a great job of making all of mine

 and my siblings special.

 

 

The force is strong with these ones.

 

Now I need a nap.

My Last Leprechaun Trap

You heard right, after four kids

having gone through grade one this was

 my last Leprechaun trap

 that had to be made.

 

We went all out.

 

It's called Lucky's Bakery

(also known as shoe box with green duct tape)

 

 

 It is a conglomeration of rainbows, green stuff and goodies.

 

Here's how were going to catch that shifty little green guy (or girl).

 

He is going to climb up the stairs.

 

 

 and he'll see all the delicious items that are available to him. 

 

 He will stand on the square

 in front of the order sign and

 BLAMO,

he'll fall into the box below the

 floor because that

 tile is a fake tile.

 

 

Here are some of our tasty treats

We have doughnuts (painted Cheerios), gold foil cakes (chocolate coins) and of course cotton candy (chalk covered cotton balls found here ).

 

 

 My son loved making this and the

 idea was his to have mini doughnuts for the Leprechaun,

 which then sparked the idea for a bakery.

(the display counter idea I got from here )

 

 

Lucky's bakery open for all Leprechauns in only five days.

 

 

Don't forget to wear green.
