I am VERY excited about Aiden's birthday party with his friends! He decided (after many weeks and choices) to do a space/astronaut themed party. We then thought about different things he thought his friends would like to do and treats he would like. This is what we have come up with and the things I have ordered!
Decorations: We found a Bulletin board space theme (you know, the ones schools use), it has realistic looking pictures and information. Black and silver plates with blue tablecloths and silver stars scattered around. We also have pictures from the Nasa website printed out and we have a "simulated" space shuttle walk through (basically just a cardbord roof and walls with white Christmas lights on the inside. There are pictures of Earth from space, a spaceship blasting off and a few others.
Food: Slices of the moon (Pizza) and Moon pies (white swirl whoopie pies with creemee inside)
Games: Pin the helmet on the astronaut, Space lava (basically oobleck/goop), make your own space ship and helmet, starry skies (glow in the dark adventure)
Goody Bags: Glow sticks, mars mud (their own goop to take home), make your own space themed sticker set, planet stickers, lollipops, rock candy. Then they also have their space ship helmet and name badges (official looking NASA badges).
I am very very excited and so isn't Aiden! We are doing it at the Cafe after they close and it is the best place to have it because the kids can run around and really enjoy their space (haha!) and time with Aiden! I am also happy I have most of the planning and purchasing done with a week and a half to go! That is a first for me, although I ordered most of the goody/decoration stuff online so I *had* to order it now!
I just still can't believe he will be six this weekend. Where did the last six years go?
