Happy Birthday Logan!

My little man turned 6 this month. We celebrated his birthday decorating cupcakes and playing with his new toys. That weekend, we had a Halloween birthday party for him with all his friends.
The party began out back playing Hot Pumpkin and eating donuts on a string.



Savannah especially liked the donuts! : )
Welcome to the Witches' Laboratory!
Makayla and her friends: Madeleine, Lauren and Sarah helped me entertain the kids at the party in our own home laboratory of bat blood, spider venom, and witches brew. (Thanks to Mike for bringing half his lab home from work! ) They had a blast concocting all their potions and formulas and then showing them to the party goers. They especially liked having the kids feel their cauldron of "snakes" and bowl of "eyeballs."


All the little lab workers needed their gloves of course!
Logan got to be the witches guest star in the Lab performing experiments for all his friends to see.
The girls hard at work making potions for the kids to see. Makayla instructs them on the benefits of bat blood in her brew.

Thank you Mike, for helping with the party! He was a little obsessed with the dry ice. We not only put it in the "witches brew" punch, but he had it bubbling in all the beakers and test tubes in the Witches Laboratory. Our little witches thought that was super cool to have all of their potions and brews bubbling.We had 3 Captain Jack Sparrows at the party. Hmmm . . . Logan seems a little transfixed by the brew as well. For dinner we had witches hat tortilla chips, spider crackers, monster finger carrots, eyeball grapes and monster toes, aka hot dogs.

Don't forget the spider cake!
A big Thank You! for all of the fun toys and birthday $$ Logan got for his birthday. He loves to get cards in the mail from all his grandparents. He was especially excited about his new marble shoot. Thanks, Mom!

Jeez. You are mother of the year! I am not going to let my kids see this page of your blog because they will realize how "low key" their b-day parties are!
