He's turning 10..OH MY!

My son is turning 10 in a few months (WOW time flies!) Therefore, Ive already begun planning his birthday party...the life of a planner and type A personality like me...It also got me thinking of his awesome party last year, and thought Id share:

Outdoor Inspired Birthday

The Invites:

Made from a camo design scrapbook paper, and folded to look like 

a tent.When the party recipient opened the tent flaps the information

was on the inside...how cool!

The Party Bags:

I used standard lunch sacks, and added stickers 

I found. I wrote the names on the bag with a black

sharpie.

The Favors: 

Dollar store Army Guys, glo sticks, flash lights

and dog tags...easy enough ;)

The Set-up: 

The boys stayed the night in our camper so I 

set the party up in there:

 This is called dirt...chocolate pudding, layered with 

chocolate graham cracker crumbs, and topped with
worms... Just right for boys! Yumm!

I bought the buckets at Target ( I love Target!)

And made the labels by burning the edge of cardstock.

I then glued the leftover scrap book paper to it and added

labels.

 I found the table ware at the party store.

 The bugs, moss and rocks were found at
the Dollar Store too! Im the Dollar Store 

Queen!

The Party:

 

For food, we all roasted hot dogs on the fire, had bug juice and smores.

I got Creative with the wrapping!

The Cake!

 

 Its a basic white cake with chocolate Frosting.

I then added black sprinkles around the side. Its 

topped with melted red and orange jolly ranchers

to make the fire,and the Peppridge farm cookies! 

It was a hit!

Happy Birthday to you! He seems thrilled! He tries not to smile in pics!

The boys had a blast! They played Big Buck Hunter Pro, and told 

ghost stories, stayed up WAY too late, and had plenty of candy!

What a Great day! Time to do it again!
