Joseph's Birthday Party

I'm pretty sure I'm going to explode if I can't get blogger to cooperate with uploading my pictures in the right order.

Here's a birthday party. backwards.

This is Nehemiah playing with snow. (I'll explain more later)
Table o boys enjoying cake.
Happy Birthday! The theme for this party was science. The cake was not what I wanted it to be. at all. But Joseph loved it so that counts for something, right?
See? There are beakers on (and near) the cake. They were supposed to be made out of something edible. Glass? Not edible. But it was plan C. My edible sculpture (made with rice krispie treats, and then covered in fondant) looked like something for, lets say a bachelorette party. Ahem. Nuff said.


Yes, we were eating ice cream out of a ziplock bag. If blogger would stop uploading my pictures backwards (!!) this would make more sense.

It was a science party. We made our own ice cream - in ziplock bags. It was good. We agreed that it tasted like a McDonalds shake. But in a bag.
My furniture is not normally crammed up against the same wall. I made room for a house full of 6 year old boys.
Joseph could hardly wait to open his presents from us. Roger worked on Josephs birthday so Joseph had to wait until Roger got home. It was torture. The "when does Daddy come home?" started at about 9am and continued every 3 minutes until he walked in the door at 4:47pm. Joseph was waiting for Roger, at the table, with presents ready to be torn into.

(It was science stuff.)

Now, back to that picture of Nehemiah and the snow.

This was something we bought for Joseph for his birthday. It is fake snow. It is amazing. It's made from the same (or similar?) stuff thats inside a babys diaper.Only this was never in a diaper. Which makes it more fun to play with. :) It expands up to 50times it's original size. It's reusable too.
I forgot to get pictures of all the kids doing our science experiments at the party, but this one was a sure hit. Actually I'm pretty sure all the experiments we did were a hit. All the homeschooling Moms were deciding to count the party as school time. :) Your welcome.

I forgot to tell my party goers that I found all of our science stuff online. So let me tell you. I found all of our science stuff online. It's a great website, and it has replaced our monster truck watching at bedtime. It's called SteveSpanglerScience.com You can watch videos, read about experiments and buy various sciency things. It made for a wonderful birthday party. A kinda messy one, but a fun one. :)

More birthday pictures coming soon.
