Monster Birthday Party

Austyn turned 3!



7/7 is a lucky day for us, as we got married on 7/7/7 and had our daughter on 7/7/09! So saturday we celebrated our anniversary and Austyn's 3rd birthday at her Monster Party!!

When  she wanted a Monster Party, I kinda got excited! I get to work my crafty side a little and make some fun monster's!

let me tell you..I'm CHEAP! SO I rather spend more time making things than spending boooko bucks on buying everything!

I made her shirt ^^up above! and also her green fuzzy monster hair clip!   I also made the cake and cupcake's!

I forgot to take pics at the party...ergg, but this was the Monster watermellon I filled with fruit salad!

 I made homemade play dough, and made monster cups! For the really little kids I put rice cakes in the monster cups!

I also gave them these little packages it says:

Thanks for coming to my monster party "eye" hope you had fun!

Create your own monster with

Austyn's homemade monster dough!

2- kool aid packets

1 cup flour

1/2  cup salt

2 TBSP oil

1 Cup boiling water

Add boiling water to top four ingredients, MIX!

Inside had googly eyes, beads for teeth, and pipe cleaners for arms and legs, for them to make there own monster outta the dough!!!

Along with the favor's I gave them plastic green plates to make the monster on, I couldn't find cheap place mats so cheap plates did the trick!

I put the forks in this Kleenex box made into a monster and the spoons in monster cups!

My husband got to the park at 5:30 to make sure we were able to get a pavilion. Last year it was PACKED because its around the 4th and people were there at 4am! Crazy but of course this year no one was there! Austyn and I got there about 9 and she was playing the entire time! so needless to say she was TIRED, HOT, DIrty, and all sweaty by the time to open presents!

                                                                             and we slept as soon as we got home!!
