party stuff

me and halle made the flower wands...halle sat with me one night and tied the ribbon on 50 of those wands and i curled them...it us a couple hours, but she was happy to help. we put them in a few vases and put them on the tables at the party for centerpieces....at the end the kids could take one home....the little bottle next to the box is pixie dust, aka rose bath powder...the poem attached says,
Fairy love and fairy light,
pixie dust in your bath tonight,
so sweet and pretty you will smell,
just like the fairy, Tinkerbell!

each of the kids got one of those too....halle was screaming when i put it in her bath the next night...i hope the other kids liked them too...

the box is our pinata...halle was dying to have a pinata at the party....always on movies, rarely actually done....i had halle help me make it, we got a shoe box, printed tink pics from online, colored and glued on cut up peices of crape paper and sequence...halle was really excited about it...it was probably her favorite part of the party...i glued it shut so tight, knowing that no one would be able to break it open...which was my plan....what fun is a pinata unless everyone gets to swing at it...everyone got in line from youngest to oldest and got a few swings...of course no one broke it, at the end tom whacked it a few time and it finally broke and everyone scrambled for the candy...making a pinata will definetly become a birthday tradition!
