So Kaitlyn's Birthday Party is next weekend and sadly I never got to blog her birthday from last year!! It was a super hectic time and at her party the camera happened to go out! So all the images are ones from people at the party or taken on an IPAD so please forgive quality but I hope you enjoy her tea party! I am so bummed we didn't have the pictures to capture it bc it was one of the best tea parties ever if I do say so myself. Lets jump right in!!</div>

Devin turns 10Well another year has passed and we have had another big birthday bash!! When I sat the kids down and said OK its party planning time what themes do you want Devin was up first! He said something with animals so we did a safari! Devin is my step son in case you didn't know and so we decided to combine parties with his mom and her family to make it extra special this year! It was a HUGE success and we had a huge turn out! Lets jump right in shall we?<br />

I am all about cheap, crafty, DIY , and trash to treasures! so I took a trip with little money to Michael's, and Joann's and found this lot of goodies for little $$ in fact most of this was in the dollar section and it was 40% off... yeah God coordinates with Michael's for me when I have parties.. it never fails their dollar bins have my theme... can you believe they had Nat Geo animal stuff!! (cupcake liners.. yes I know!) My mom spotted the zebra burlap at Joann's and I was off to a great start!</div>

Welcome to the safari... of course we start with the front door :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this is the most last minute, easiest wreath ever, your not going to believe me but its literally just coffee filters wrapped around a hay wreath then a bunting i had left over from his cake bunting and a card that was in the pack of cards I bought at Michael's in the dollar section. I had not planned on even doing a wreath but had the stuff laying around so I put it together in literally five minutes.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have this pallet on my porch and as the seasons change I add buntings and decor to give some life to the porch so I just clothes pinned the cards (out of the stack from Michael's dollar bin ) to twine. </div>

One thing Veronica and I (Devin's mom) had trouble with from the get go was finding a location... Since Devin is a March baby the weather does not always cooperate, hot or cold?? We just couldn't bank on either... So we needed in doors after searching and searching and searching.... we finally had to land at our house BC everyone else had the same idea as we did for march parties. With us combining parties we were looking at anywhere from 50-80 people.. um I have a 1500 square foot house y'all.. how will this work... So I took out my couches and coffee table and big chair and put them on the porch and set up three tables just like this for the kiddos. </div>

I wanted something that cost me little money but was safari themed as a center piece.. I have collected coke bottles and have them on shelves in my kitchen for some time so i thought i want buntings , cause I LOVE THEM so I wrapped canvas around them, twine ropes and made little buntings.. it actually cost me no money although it took some time it was very simple.</div>

Safari cake, with a new baby around I didn't want to do a bunch of fondant and time consuming hard cake, so I started searching pinterest and found one similar to this and just knew it was perfect! I added crushed vanilla wafers instead of peanuts like the other cake and I added a little green twine hay stuff (not sure what its called but its at Joann's for two bucks!!)</div>

it was super simple to set up and I spent hardly anything at all.. the paper chains hanging down on either side is wrapping paper from the dollar store cut into strips with coffee filters made into flowers randomly hanging on the chains. the sign was a piece of barn wood I had lying around and I wrote on it with chalk , which can easily be wiped off and erased! I then just printed off their engagement pics (done by yours truly) and hung then on twine, printed a few things off the computer and put it on my awesome barn wood table!!</div>

WOW how time is flying by!! We have less then one hundred days until our sweet baby boy Makes his entrance into the world! I have been taking pictures of my belly growth and keeping up with what changes and symptoms and experiences I have had with this pregnancy. I have kept it up on my shutterfly acct with a photo book and will continue to do so until little Roman is here! Then I can get it printed up and put in his room and he can look back one day and see what it was like to be inside me and grow :) <br />
I wanted to share the progress we have been through so far! Of course the book is not done because we are only in month 6! But I wanted to put it out there for anyone interested in the progress!<br />
Hope you enjoy! I probably wont post this publicly again until here is here, so enjoy!A boy named Parkerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07527316079249537500noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120966586828287012.post-28919681403215086852012-06-02T15:30:00.000-07:002012-06-02T15:31:07.059-07:00Photobooth Dr. Seuss Style : Parker's 3rd birthday<div style="text-align: center;">
One of my favorite things about my sons <a href="http://aboynamedparker.blogspot.com/2012/06/happy-birthday-to-me-today-i-turn-3-dr.html" target="_blank">Dr. Seuss party</a> was the photo booth. I love to take pictures (DUH) and wanted to have something really cute where the kiddos and adultos could get silly.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I posted some pics of the photo booth on his birthday site (listed above) but this is a whole blog on his booth and all the pics we got to take in it.</div>

I decided I wanted to do it for my sons third birthday party and we did. However I had my husband get it up and running weeks before the party for our kiddos to play in becuase it was just too cool!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy our version of the car wash. The kids seriously love this thing. Ours ended up costing us about 40$ it says on the site its only about 30$ </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><u>what I did different:</u></strong></div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
spray painted it (my hubbys idea!!)</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
used plastic table cloths cut into sections as the end colorful "thingys" what are those called anyway</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
I got cheap sponges and different ones ALL from different dollar stores . I read alot of people spent their money on the sponges mine were $1 a peice no more.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
Added a road! I mean come on how much cuter. We did this two ways. 1st way we tried with the black garden fabric it worked great kept the kids feet from hurting on the mulch or grass and kept them from being too hot... BUT it sank the wetter it got the more mushy (we did have it on mulch so that may not happen on grass) 2nd way and what we stuck with was black plastic from lowes. This isnt cheap but we used it for 3 other projects so 9$ broken down into 3 projects with extra left over is not bad! for the stripes we used yellow duct tape.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
we added flags to ours.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">
we did not use the stop and go arm , no point when running through!</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and there you have it!! if you missed the link at the top on how to make this you can find it <a href="http://familyfun.go.com/crafts/the-deluxe-kid-wash-709166/" target="_blank">here</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and everyone keeps asking how in the world did you do that. This was 5$ and I'm not kidding... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the tutorial on how to do this is <a href="http://www.sugarbeecrafts.com/2012/01/giant-picture-tutorial.html" target="_blank">here</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only thing I will add is she mentions you can get these at any office store. YOU CANNOT. I have tried. STAPLES is where you will need to go. If you are local then I suggest going to Murfreesboro over Smyrna. The machine in Murfreesboro is slightly bigger and you can get the print bigger. Another detail I will add you cannot spray paint the foam (some of you may be saying DUH but I learned from experience this didn't work)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also she said she duct taped hooks onto the back to hang it I had no issue with this method at Devin's party but at Parker's I did and they were the same size. I ended up having to saturate each section of ribbon I was using as "a hook" with hot glue and let it completely dry. On both of these I was not using them for home decor (altho I may now) so I just did it quickly and not to perfection. I am sure there are lots of other methods of making a hook for the back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy.. I have one more to make for Kaitlyn's party and then I will do 4 brand new ones to hang in my home once our new baby is here and I have updated pics of all the kids.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was amazed by this and glad to share!</div>

Ok I had to share the Lorax pinata tuturial. I am actually going to post the directions to the tutorial I used and then just tell you how I changed and tweaked it to work for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my Lorax</div>

<a href="http://blogs.babble.com/family-style/2012/02/14/get-creative-with-dr-suess-the-lorax-mustache-on-a-stick/" target="_blank">Here</a> is the tutorial I found On <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/" target="_blank">pinterest</a> on how you can make your own</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
What I did differently:</div>
<div align="center">
I used a button nose. Button eyes. I liked the character it added to Lorax. My tissue paper was glittery it was the only orange tissue paper I could find.. I think it worked well cause Seuss is always whimsical. I made my a normal sized pinata... well kind of Its not near as small as the one calls for in the directions. I had enough candy for everyone of the kids who participated to get some to take home. Warning... This is not as easy as the directions make it out to be... It was not completely clear to me on all things. I suggest drying each layer of newspaper before continuing on with a second layer, however its very difficult in a circle to tell where your first and second and third layers end and begin so I just covered it as well and thick as I could. With painting I used CHEAP paint that was waterproof and kid friendly. I only used one coat because you are covering it in orange tissue paper so no need to go painting it all crazy. Have fun make it your own and good luck!</div>

My son Parker's birthday was coming up (and when I say coming up I mean 6 months away lol) and I began to think about a theme for him. I chose Dr. Seuss because this was going to be the last year mommy could pick as he was becoming a big boy with big opinions. I adore Dr. Seuss always have Parker was actually thing 2 for Halloween and my whole family dressed up as "thing _________"(whatever Parker called them, I was thing mommy and so on) so I knew this theme could be awesome. With a lot of pinterest and research my creative juices were flowing. I am just going to throw you right into the party because overboard is an understatement here. I probably am going to have to break this party down into at least two parts maybe more because the party was so detailed and big. Here is Part 1 Lets go inside shall we?</div>

The front door: I made Parker's wreath out of a pool noodle that I duct taped together. It saved me 7$ from the foam wreaths and I found it at Dollar tree for $1 I wrapped it in yarn and decorated it. added a pic of him and a quote and walla. I found this cute door seuss characters at the parent teacher store so they had to be mine. Then I just made a billion flag buntings for his party and this one got hung here. balloons of course to add to it. And Welcome to seussville.</div>

Next lets walk right into the Favor table because it actually was the next table you would see when entering the house. I decided I wanted to do favors that were a. like Dr. Seuss books and characters and b. have some different stuff. I set up the favor table as "Seuss Mart" the kids could then go get one of each favor and fill up their "Seuss Mart" bag with goodies.</div>

I pretty much made everything for his party that I physically could. This back drop is made out of paper plates glue onto one big foam board I got the idea <a href="http://catchmyparty.com/photos/405127" target="_blank">here</a>. The top is wrapping paper draped down with labels, signs, pictures, and buntings added for decor.</div>

another cute pinterest idea was the birthday book. I actually had already ordered Parker this book off amazon and was giving it to him as a birthday present but then I saw that this lady on her blog (cant find the blog now to reference the book sorry lady) had people from the party sign the book for the birthday boy! I loved it! </div>

The last three photo booth props are cat and the hat hats which I found at Michale's during Dr seuss' birthday week and glued them to dowels big money found at the dollar store and then of course my favorite Parker faces!! These were big pictures I got printed off at staples a whole page of them for 5$ (called an engineer print, <a href="http://aboynamedparker.blogspot.com/2012/06/diy-huge-picture.html" target="_blank">here</a> is the blog on how to do that) I made little party hats for his head out of cute paper added the "happy birthday to me today I turn 3" label. I just glued these to dowels. I loved them!!</div>

Balloon pong.. saw this on pinterest too... remember when you and your brother or sister or cousin or friend or whoever used to hit a balloon back and forth and whoever made it hit the ground died?? here is balloon pong! this is paper plates glued to sticks I chose to do plane plates so the kids could color them. They use these as paddles and pass a air filled balloon back and forth. Fun right!</div>

we had a section of baby pools which I will have pics of below. In front of the baby pools was the lorax and his truffula trees. I know its spelled wrong on the sign :( I was in a hurry as usual and am not a speller. sorry.Anyway I will have a tutorial up later on how to make the truffula trees they were crazy cheap and easy (messy but worth it) I like these better then any other ideas Ive seen out there. The wonderful little Lorax was drawn by my awesome sister onto card board so he was free :)</div>

ok I was soo upset with how these turned out I had a huge vision for them, BUT we could not find the right cotton candy and it was so hot the second I put the cotton candy hair on the icing it starting to melt down. So anyway these would be soo cute for a winter party and with carnival cotton candy which we could not find!</div>

<br />
Well if you haven't heard by now we are having another baby. This came to us as quite a HUGE shock but we are coming around to the whole excitement part of getting to parent a new bundle of joy! I have not gotten to go to the doctor yet, which is beyond frustrating BC I had been probably three times already when pregnant with Parker. I am now seeing how much of an insurance snob I was! to go to the dr anytime I ever wanted or needed was such a mental relief. I am currently almost 8 weeks (Monday will be 8) and I have yet to see a Dr and I have known I was pregnant since week 4!! The wait is horrible and so is getting around with no nausea meds! But I must say I am very Thankful for how blessed I am by God to only have nausea and not my ever feared throwing up! <br />
<br />
I decided to post about the new baby because something amazing has been happening quite literally under my nose without me giving it to much thought. I have always heard urban legends I guess you could say about babies sensing ghosts, dogs sensing ghosts or pregnancy's, dangers and what not. Well one day sitting on the porch swing with Parker I was listening to his heart then he would listen to mine. I was 5 and a half weeks pregnant at the time and I told him to listen to the babies heart beat. He said "yeah I hear babies heart" I thought it was cute and didn't give it much thought. A few days later we were playing and doing the same thing and I had him listen to the babies heart. He put his little cheek against my belly pressing his ear to my stomach and he said "no baby heart no working" I moved him around and a little lower on my tummy and he listened again looked up at me and said "yeah there it is baby heart working". At that moment I thought can he really hear the baby? Or is this just some cute little game he is playing. I hadn't really put too much more thought into it again.<br />
<br />
As we told the kids we were expecting a new baby of course we took their votes on what they wanted the baby to be. Of course Devin replies "BOY!" Kaitlyn begs girl and Parker says "brother". Every time we reference the baby ,Parker would make sure we knew he wanted a boy. my 7 and a half week of being pregnancy roles around. I begin to read all about what my new little creation is doing inside me and the changes its tiny little body is making, one change is the boy or girl part of baby is being formed this week and although still too small to be seen on an ultra sound little baby is a boy or girl by this week. EVERYONE in my family is hoping for a girl so lots of them are already calling her by name "Ella" but I cant sense what it is.. I never had that with Parker either. <br />
<br />
Laying on the swing Parker is playing and he listens to my belly I say "Parker is baby a brother or a sister?" and he says "sister" I said "do you want a brother or sister?" and he says "brother" and I say "but the baby is a sister?" and he says "yes".Why all of a sudden was this baby a girl even though he wanted it to be a boy ?I was intrigued by him and the fact that I just read that the baby was determined boy or girl this week... could he really know? did she some how talk to him and let him know who she was?? crazy right??!! but is it really that crazy? he was just in there a few short years ago and keep in mind we are firm believers that he is a FEARFULLY AND WONDERFULLY made creation. So we know without doubt he was from heaven so I am thinking does he still have some of that heavenly sense to him? He is still so little and innocent ( i cant believe i am saying Parker is innocent lol... cause that boy is buck wild, but you know what i am saying) he is still new too can he feel her and sense this new little baby?<br />
<br />
Today I am almost at 8 weeks This little charade with Parker and baby girl had happened earlier in the week. Yesterday I had a terrible migraine and today i woke up feeling a little off, just not pregnant. I have been under probably the most stress i have ever been under in my entire life and today the devil got to me and had me worried that the baby was not alive in me anymore. I had no symptoms to back up this little lie that devil has slipped in my mind, no bleeding, no cramping, but i just didn't feel so pregnant today. As I lay on the swing not telling this to anyone other then my mom in text message (cause lets face it i tell her everything) I have Parker lay his head on my tummy. I ask him does he hear the baby and he listens for a minute and says "yes I hear baby , baby in there" I got relief .... why ? like he was an ultra sound?? or a dr? like he had the final say but i just got some relief and thought the baby is ok. <br />
<br />
I know all of this sounds so crazy, I still have yet to go to the Dr. so I don't have a miraculous scientific explanation to <u><strong>YET</strong></u> add to this story but my heart is at rest cause i really believe that I will have some very amazing things to add , confirmation if you will of what my sweet Parker has already told me. Today I wanted to share this because as I now notice such a beautiful thing going on inside me and within my little boy I have joy because I think he knows baby is ok, I think he knows the baby and is creating this relationship with "her". I am so anxious, to now pay close attention to what he says and does with my belly and to see if baby is really an "Ella" .<br />
I have decided to keep note of this through my pregnancy to see if this is real. I know how amazing God is and how real his power is why is it impossible to think that my little Parker doesn't have some of heaven still left in him to hear this new life in me?<br />
<br />
Until the next neat story, this to me has brought me joy and made me believe in something I just cant explain.<br />

I like to ask the kiddos what they want their bday themes to be to get them involved, he said Harry Potter! I was so excited because I knew there was just so much I could do with it!! So here is a full blown Hogwarts style Harry Potter birthday. I made the MAJORITY of the decorations so this party was done on a very tight Budget! I am soo amazed at how little I actually spent on the cool stuff! I am going to try to attach links or tutorials to anything DIY you can do yourself that is super cool and worth sharing! Hope you enjoy! <br />
<br />
Lets start with the invites. Super simple. I downloaded Harry Potter fonts (google free harry potter fonts, download that's it) typed up and invite and popped some card stock in the printer. Simple. Sweet. CHEAP!<br />

Every one entered through Platform 9 3/4. I just took a brick vinyl pack I found on clearance that was meant for Christmas decorations.I cut a slit in the middle attached it to a curtain rod glued on the 9 3/4 sign and hung it on my porch. Easy, fun, effective.</div>

The Great Hall- The sign here was made the same was as the Hogwarts sign except i used felt i already had. Great Hall sign =free I just took streamers that I got from the Dollar store (they were in packs 2 for a dollar) and hung the streamer to make a cool back drop. The Sorting hat cost me $1 to make, you can see the tutorial on how I did this <a href="http://aboynamedparker.blogspot.com/2012/03/harry-potter-sorting-hat.html" target="_blank">here</a></div>

I decided I would let the kids have a "gift shop" feel to their party favors, so the great hall was filled with all the fun favors they got to take home. Each Child was able to get a "Hogwarts gift shop bag" (which cost me $1 to make I just bought lunch bags and printed out labels. Easy)and fill it up with one of each item. I wanted to have different kinds of favors and I wanted to save money. I also wanted them to be Harry Potter effective.</div>

I took a pic of what all the kids ended up getting to take home. They got to keep their troll bogies goo and their wands, so the gift bags were pretty full when the kiddos left and the were filled with cool goodies that didn't break the bank. </div>

One of the most fun things to create was the potions. Coming up with all the cool around the house items I could make look like potions and finding different names to match (thanks to so many Harry Potter sites).</div>

a lot of the potion bottles were filled with water and food coloring, some had baking soda in them, different candy i had let sit in water for a long time to give a dramatic look I used coffee grounds and just all kinds of everyday things you would find in your kitchen, I had all of the bottles and jars already so creating this potions look was FREE!</div>

the transfiguration lesson is written on my chalk board coffee table that is holding all the potions. It gave it a really cool effect. The pictures don't do this party justice but hopefully it sheds some light on how cool it was. (my camera is messing up and that is BAD NEWS my wonderful sister in law took so many pics for me as I was running around crazy she does amazing photography and did a great job capturing these shots, please note the camerea was the issue here on anything blurry it is really giving us isues!!)</div>

I got a pack of cauldrons from a party store that were meant to be for Saint Patty's decor the pack of 12 or 14 cauldrons was 3$ and the kids actually did get to use the cauldrons in mixing up their potions. Very cool detail that was super cheap (at least I think so )</div>

In potions class we did a drink changing potion where I put food coloring in the bottom of each child's cup earlier in the day before the party and let it dry, we then had the kids say the magic spell over their cups and as we poured the sprite in the drinks changed colors! The kids loved this! (I did all the cups with different colors and we poured the drinks one at a time so they were very surprised as to what color their drink ended up being). The next spell we did we used these same magic drinks we just added Magic potion ice cubes, they were able to drink their drinks that were a bright color and drop in the magic potion ice cubes (these were just koolaide cubes i had made previously). while we were setting up for the next cool potion the kids drinks would change colors as the ice melted.</div>

Time for our next potions class assignment. We now cleared off the tables and gave each child a new cup we went over the rules and told them DO NOT TOUCH OR DRINK THIS and each child was teamed up with an adult to make sure these rules stayed in place. we poured sprite into their cups and then dropped dry ice in each drink and they got to watch them fizz over. we did not let them drink it just to be safe although several of the adults thought this was cool so they made their drinks with dry ice too and did drink it. LOL this was a hit!</div>

The last assignment we did for Potions class was Troll bogies!! each child was given a jar (I bought a pack of mason jars ($6 ) and added labels to them (free), they were able to put the goop in the jar and keep it fresh and take it home) which was labeled troll bogies they were given a cauldron and spoon and we helped them make this goo. I got the recipe from <a href="http://domesticcharm.blogspot.com/2011/10/glow-in-dark-slime.html" target="_blank">this blog</a> it was super fun to make and the kids just loved this (PARENTS BEWARE: if you make this goop it does ruin fabric and pulls paint off of the walls - yes I learned this the hard way lol)The birthday boy came up with this name and what the label would say he liked this part of the movie and thought it would be cool to use the troll bogies as a name for the slime.<br />

You cant have a Harry Potter Party without wands and they were the thing that I was the most amazed at, you can see the tutorial on how to make those <a href="http://aboynamedparker.blogspot.com/2012/02/diy-harry-potter-wands.html" target="_blank">here</a> They cost me NO MONEY....FREE to make as I already had the supplies at my house. We allowed each child to pick out their wands and robes.<br />

Of course we had the famous butter beer.The kids table was set up with each of of these cool butter beer glasses and plate settings. The butter beer was just cream soda and rum extract and the topping for the butter beer cream was whipped cream, rum extract, heavy cream and marsh mellow cream, the kids loved this...</div>

Now on to the main table , decorations and of course every ones favorite thing FOOD! <br />
I had burlap lying around so I just cut out triangles and made a birthday bunting, I found the card stock maroon and yellow paper on sale for $0.20 and already had the ribbon. I just cut out the letters "happy birthday Devin" on my cricket and hot glued the whole thing together. this bunting cost me $0.20!! I did the same streamer effect super cheap , easy and cool. I just blew up some balloons and taped them to the ceiling. The large picture is one of my favorite things and you would not believe how cheap this was!! I saw this big pic idea on pinterest and went to the blog and followed <a href="http://www.sugarbeecrafts.com/2012/01/giant-picture-tutorial.html" target="_blank">this tutorial</a>. This picture is 4ft by 3ft!! super huge, super cool, and even better SUPER CHEAP! (the blog will tell you the prices for that ladies area, i actually only paid $5.00 for the print itself at staples, the foam board was 12$ but I have 2 sheets of it left to make two more pics for my other two kiddos bdays! So i could not pass up doing this for that price and I will be able to hang these in my house now :)<br />

The last class the kids got to do was very laid back and simple, "defense against the dark arts class" all this included was dementors (balloons with faces drawn on them and streamers attached) hanging from the ceiling and the kids would give out the EXPECTO PATRONUM charm and fight off the dementors (hit the balloons with their wands) they had a blast doing this until they knocked them all down.</div>

Now on to the last activity QUIDDITCH! This actually was really fun as we had the same amount of adults playing as kids (or maybe more adults lol) . Everyone had to get a broom to play the game, one of the rules was to keep the broom in between your legs at all times, THIS WAS FUNNY. I Love the smell of Cinnamon and am obsessed with cinnamon brooms. The moment Devin told me he wanted a Harry Potter Party I started saving my cinnamon brooms and had my mom do the same we had about 20! the kids were able to use these as their brooms for quidditch and we had some left to hang from the ceiling from fishing wire to make the brooms look like they are flying. This cost me NO MONEY for this party as the brooms I bought all year long and used in my house until the cinnamon smell ran out!</div>

This sign was a few cents to make. I have a forbidden Forrest one as well, I will try and post a pic of that soon but the sun was SO bright the pics outside did not turn out as well. (in fact my camera is on its last leg I'm afraid, it was blurry most of the party :( defiantly not good since I do photography)</div>

Well there you have it a HARRY POTTER birthday blast!! We really had so much fun at the party and I had so much fun creating all the decor and favors months in advanced. Now on to the Dr. Seuss Party in June and the vintage Strawberry Shortcake tea party in June for my other two.<br />

I wanted a sorting hat to complete the Hogwarts look but I did not wanna spend any amount of money on it. <br />
I had seen other blogs where they took a witch hat that they had bought at a local party store and covered it in paper bags modge podge and used binder clips to form the eyes and mouth. I was being SUPER cheap and didn't even wanna spend the money on a witches hat so I decided to make my own. <br />
This project seriously cost me the price of a poster board.<br />
I took a full sized poster board and made a cone shape and hot glued it in place, then I cut a circle out of cardboard (an old box I had laying around) and took my handy dandy glue gun and glued the cone to the round cardboard box i had cut to make the shape of a hat.<br />
I had planned on putting a baby monitor in my sort hat to sort the kids at the party so I needed a hole in mine, so i cut a hole in the circle to make it hollow like a hat (i did not worry about this being big enough to fit a head just enough for a baby monitor)<br />
The next step was covering it in paper bags. I did try the binder clips on the cone shaped poster board to form the eyes and mouth.<strong> It did not work at all</strong> with poster board since it is so stiff so I thought i would just form it as I went when adding the paper bag.<br />
I had started collecting paper bags from the grocery stores as I shopped over the weeks so I wouldn't have to spend any money on it or buy the small lunch bags. You can do this either way. I just wanted to save all the money I could on this party <u><strong>so bags = free poster board = 1.00 sorting hat total =1.00</strong></u><br />
I started to cover the hat shape with brown paper bags, I covered the entire thing tearing some pieces as I went to make it very layered and old looking. I then tried so many different ways to shape the eyes and mouth with NO LUCK! Finally I just ripped up some bag and covered it in modge podge with my hands i just started bunching up the eyes and mouth and forming it to look how I thought the sorting hat looked. <u><strong> (THIS TOOK SOME EFFORT AND TIME AND VERY MESSY MESSY HANDS!)</strong></u> <br />
However once i stuck it out and let it dry enough to stick I started really loving the results. <br />
then i just modge podged the entire thing. WHAM BAM THANK YOU MA'AM YOUR DONE.<br />
let it dry and set it wherever! I had considered adding some burlap strips and brown paint to give it an older look and more detail but I was so nervous i would mess it up so i just left it as is.<br />
Add your own flare and detail to your sorting hat and please send pics of any you do Id love to see how they turn out!<br />

My son was turning one and I had to make a big deal. He was born HUGE and stayed that way he is wild and so his life theme became monsters!! His first birthday party was themed monsters. My favorite Disney move is Monsters Inc. So I used a lot of inspiration from those cute little monsters on there. This party idea was before all the little monsters ideas came out so I had no luck in finding party decor that was monster related and since his bday is in the summer Halloween was long gone for me to stock up on anything I could of found monster. NOW everywhere i turn there is little monsters stuff around!!!!!!!!!!!! I think for his fourth birthday we will re-do the monster theme since the monsters inc 2 movie comes out this november!!!!<br />

We have a sign business owner in the family so we had a big banner made for the party and signs all along the road leading the way to the birthday boys party! (sadly we did not get pics of the road signs :( but the banner we did manage to get)<br />
This was my very first REAL party to do decorate and be creative in. I have learned SOOO much since then and this whole party was out of my head before there was a pinterest (or before I knew about it) this was also before I got big into my photography (actually I wasnt even doing it at all or considering it at this point) so this party does not have pics that do it justice sadly and with no pinterest help I am was very pleased with this shindig turn out!<br />

We had fun making all the different monster cupcakes and my sister draws so wonderfully I had her draw a monster on the smash cake. ( we later found out now that my son has a preference to what he watches that the monster we were drawing is the monster from a show called "yo gabba gabba" which my son has a obession with funny how things work out.)<br />

The food was not so much monster directed we had chicken wraps and yummy food, but the deserts we did try to make "monsterfied". One of the fun things we got creative with was the "sully" rice crispy treats... food coloring and mixing and we got blue and purple spotted rice crispy treats.<br />

I decorated a cupcake tower and filled it up with monster cupcakes. Then I had a pic of Parker in a monster hat from winter (it actually happened to be his winter hat and a cute pic so it worked out perfectly) and i blew it up cut it out and put it as his "cake topper"<br />

DIY Harry Potter wands:</div>
My step son is turning 9 and we are doing a Harry Potter birthday party for him. I found these amazing Harry Potter wands on Pinterest and had to try them out myself. The instructions are found from <a href="http://youtu.be/FNge9xiwdc4" target="_blank">this lady on youtube</a> , you can watch her instructions on just how to create these cool wands!<br />
These wands were soo easy to make ( messy, and time consuming, but soo cool and fun!) I made 20 so it took me quite a while as each wand has a lot of drying to do each step. I wanted to add my own twist to them so the Pictures you see are the actual wands that I made. However you can have a blast creating you own after watching the video! I hope you enjoy, I have made soo much stuff Harry Potter for his Party so defiantly check back for more fun potter ideas!<br />
