Getting ready for Scott's Birthday Party

We have been working on some things to have the funnest birthday party ever for Scott. We got the invitations out and some people have RSVP-ed so it's time to really get going. Yesterday we decided that we wanted to make a pinata. Because it is going to be a superhero party we decided to make a monster so the heroes could defeat him and save the world. We started with this:

And this is the first time I have ever tried this. So I have no idea what I am doing. I looked up a bunch of how to videos online and they said to use starch or plaster of paris. BUT, I have heard that you can use flour and water. That's what we had in the house, so that's what we used.  We made a goopy paste and just went for it.

It was harder then I thought it would be. Even though we had in balanced on a bowl. It kept rolling of and all over the place. But We ended up with this:

and this mess:

Scott did get a little bored and started rubbing his hands all over the table. But oh well messes are a big part of life:) Only two more coats of paper and we get to paint!! We cant wait.

Also for the party I though it would be really awesome if the kids could dress up like super heroes so I decided to make capes for them. They turned out really well so I want to share a picture!

I am also going to make eye masks so they don't spoil their secret identity!! And the first activity of the party is we are going to make wrist bands. The kids will get to pick out their special ability and put it on the cuffs to show their power!! I can't wait. I hope it all turns out like planned and the kids have a lot of fun.

And Scott said the funniest thing today so I should write it down. He said," Actually mom were not having a party, we're having a fiesta because there is a pinata."
