Birthday Party

We did another paint party this year but added a few features since the kids would be a little older. Of course the painting was a big hit, especially with my kids.

Georgia always had to cover the entire paper lately so it takes her a while to finish a project.

Vivian had fun painting Darby.

Leonard had fun painting himself.

My little budding artist.

We had foam visors and foam stickers to put on them.

The intensity with which the backs had to be removed.

The crowd favorite was the "volcanoes." We bought a huge bag of baking soda and 2 gallons of vinegar and let the kids go wild.

The food coloring didn't hurt either.

We also made pipe cleaner bracelets with beads.

And here is the princess castle cake G had to have. I was going to buy it but wavered at the last hour and made it. Matt did stay up with me and help.

I thought G blew out the candles but this picture tells a different story.

The kids eating cake.

Emma was the last man standing and the 3 girls got back into painting after everyone else left. By the way, the "washable paint," not so much. Not when it was on the clothes to the extent G put it on.

This picture cracks me up. Georgia was having so much fun at one point she just took off running across the yard as if she didn't know what to do with herself.
