Happy 7th Birthday, Tyler!

We had a mad science birthday party for Tyler today. My kids are always playing mad science with junk they find around the house (they especially love the Franny K. Stein books), so he knew it was what he wanted ever since he saw it in our Family Fun magazine. We had a couple of old lab coats and the boys spiked their hair. Here's Tyler's Mwa-a-a! look.
Here's the flask cake with cotton candy on top. The tall part is a paper towel roll.
First we just had his cousins Jacob and Peter come over for some mad science. We experimented with corn starch, milk, food coloring, baking soda, vinegar and dish detergent. The boys really got into it and made a fun mess.

Except Dallin doesn't like to be messy. He had to wash his hands pretty quick.

They especially liked playing with the corn starch and water.
We made the gelatin mold earlier in the day, and they had fun sticking fingers in the awesome gooey-ness.
Then we had my parents and the rest of the cousins come over for pizza, cake, ice cream and presents.
It was just so cute to see them all lined up, watching Tyler open his gifts.


"Two!!" As in Madagascar II. Then we watched it. What a fun day.
