Last Sunday we hosted the boys' birthday party. Dominic turned 6 on September 20th, and Christian will be 4 on October 21st. We had a small shindig in our backyard. It was exhausting but fun.

I started out by having the kids decorate their goody bags using foam Halloween stickers. Then we moved on to making slime, using glue, food coloring, and liquid starch. This activity was a big hit, and even as the kids yelled "gross!" they were having fun poking at the slimy concoction. After that we had an eyeball relay (after which the kids got to eat their (chocolate) eyeball) and a mummy race. Finally, the kids got to do what they'd been eagerly awaiting: cracking open the pinata!! We had made a pinata (I'll share that later) but went with a larger store bought version that was a cool green dragon.

It was a lot of fun. Wish you could have been here!
