Construction Birthday Party!

My son's 5th birthday party! Construction theme:)
I made the invitation in about 20 minutes... I didn't have a lot of time, but I still liked it!

Each kid was given a construction hat, Lowe's aprons with their names on them, a ruler in the pocket, and safety goggles:) Love him! {Thanks Lowe's! They were awesome!}
This was our food... 'wrecking balls', 'caution cones', 'spare tires', 'studs', 'lumber', and then pizza!
 Loved how this cake turned out! Thanks to Grandma for putting my vision into reality, and Nana for the caution equiptment! :)
 Each kid was also given a build-a-school-bus kit {also Lowe's!} They had a blast putting them together... my hubby rocks!

Med School Going Away Party!

This was a going away party for my brother-in-law as he went off to medical school... It was so much fun to put together with my mother-in-law! He loved it! It would be fun to do for a graduation party too...I'm not sure how we are going to top ourselves though;)

 We just got red and white balloons and drew the crosses on with red permanent markers. Worked great! Although they're a little uneven:)
 Halloween skeleton darned with his lab coat and a kid doctors kid courtesy of the dollar store:)
 The food was a blast!
Yellow lemonade bottles with each "patients" name written on them for urine samples. The urinal was for refills:)
 Blood bags are just liquid candy we picked up at a party store, "Fundaze" in Clearfield.
 Beakers with ketchup and mayonaise we got from a Zurchers party store in their Halloween stuff. Along with mustard in medicine droppers with tongue depressers to help spread:)
 These were their "pills"...
 As you can also see we created RX pads with what his Dr. name on them and the food label with directions on how to take each one... it was fun to come up with the wording!

 We had "stool samples", "cotton balls", and "heartburn" for some treats:)
 These were cupcakes with the frosting in the design of a brain...in the heat they softned a little, but they were still stinkin cute!
 And each table was decorating with more medical equipment!
