jacks mad science birthday party

hey everyone... this weekend we celebrated jack's 7th birthday... after changing his mind like a gazillion times, he finally settled on a theme... mad science... and whats great, is that there is this company that does these awesome science parties for kids... and they totally nailed a perfect party for a bunch of 7 year old little boys... there were lots of loud noises, setting things on fire, rockets, smelly gases, and slime...

now i am ashamed to admit that i was a bit off my game for this party... usually i have everything planned to the second... but i haven't been feeling that well, so i kinda just went with the flow and tried not to stress... so... i stuck to simple decorations, and some fun and colorful desserts... thanks to amazon i was able to order somethings like test tubes and petri dishes to display some of the goodies...

so here are some pictures of jacks party... enjoy :)


cupcakes topped with pop rocks and sour gumballs... and i mean sour gumballs... i felt bad for the kids and all their puckered little faces!!




here's jack, the birthday boy,who was the special assistant of the day
 and here's ben... he couldn't wait to get up and be involved

happy birthday little man... love you to pieces!!
