Birthday Boy

Brett was so excited to invite his friends to his birthday party (we had family parties last year). After changing his mind several times he decided on a "Mad Scientist" party. I ordered some super cute, kid-sized safety glasses and the big kids helped with the "experiments". We made slime, from water and corn starch. It has qualities of a liquid and a solid, so it is lots of fun to play with. Everyone made their own volcano in a bottle and we pulled out the boys old cub scout volcanoes. Then we made film canister/alka seltzer rockets which is always a favorite at our house. The dads enjoyed them more than anyone! Brett had a great time with his friends and everyone got messy!

Sounds like a fun party. The dad's always love stuff like that, like the pinewood derby!
