science party for tagg's ninth birthday
tagg is constantly begging me to look on pinterest for kids' science projects ideas so i decided to kill two birds with one stone and do a science theme birthday party.  
it was a blast gathering up science gear and reinventing it to work for a birthday party. 
i especially couldnt get enough of the jello petri dishes. ha.
i put craig in charge of making the atom balloon situation and after a few quiet tantrums he figured one out. :)
personalized lab coats/badges and our new skeleton friend. 
as soon as the boys arrived, i put them straight to work. first up, lava lamps. so fun and easy. 
next, they made homemade flubber. 
freaking cute scientists. 
our last "experiment" was the magic shell ice cream sundaes. my kind of experiment.
birthday boy with his beaker cake.
as always, we had the polaroid camera out to take pictures for the boys to bring home in the frames they decorated. 
science favors. 
i have so much fun putting these parties together. its the best seeing the smile on my kids' faces when it all goes down. 
on tagg's actual birthday night he requested dinner at red robin. its the only place around here where they sing "happy birthday". :) i love how he wanted to be sung to sooooo badly but then acted like he was over it during the actual serenade. 

birthday sundae with mom and ga. 
tess' face. happy birthday, tagg! a wonderful week, celebrating our wonderful boy.
