Happy Birthday to my 6 year old boys!!
I don't know what it is about turning 6...but it sounds so OLD! I'm just amazed at how quickly time flies.
We had an amazing birthday celebration starting with a visit from Nana and ending with a fun filled science party!
And of course amazing birthday cakes from Grandma Fiegener!! She worked her magic with some fairly specific and crazy requests!! Dylan asked for a cave cake with bats fling out in a forest. And Cole asked for something different just about every time we talked about it...but settled on a cake that had a science research boat, the Titanic, water, land with trees, pirates on a mountain with a rope down the mountain to another pirate at the bottom of the mountain. Way to go Grandma!
Our science party about to start with the scientists in their lab coats!

Our science party about to start with the scientists in their lab coats!
Sharpie pen art experiment turned out so amazing! Sharpie pens on shirts then drip on rubbing alcohol to end up with beautiful tie-dye effects.
I was so excited they turned out well!
The kids enjoyed it too!
Making slime was a hit.
Vinegar and baking soda blowing up balloons was even amazing to the parents!
Swirling milk, food coloring, and dish soap experiment received many oooohhs and ahhhs.
All the parents came in the garage to watch the kids making snow.
No science party is complete with out some static electricity.
And you have to get a little dirty when you make quicksand with corn starch...Mom would have been smart to get a lab coat too! Oh well cornstarch washes out right!?
And to top it off we had a spectacle of dry ice demonstrations...you should try mixing dry ice, warm water, and dish soap and see what fun you can have!
Everyone was excited to try the cake!
We wrapped up the celebrations with present opening with Nana...
Mining out the fools gold activity with Nana.
What a cool gift! We thought it would take them several days to dig out all the fools gold...but then they discovered that water worked faster than the little digging tools provided with the kit!
Awesome shirt from Grammy Carol!!
Mom and Dad gave the boys the big Lego sets they were asking for...which they were so amazed by that it was a struggle to get them to go to bed before they were done being put together, a struggle to put them down to go any where and a struggle to leave them in the living room to eat a meal! Yikes!!
I think Dylan and Cole thoroughly enjoyed their 6th birthday celebrations!! It was funny because their birthday was on a Friday and their party on a Saturday...and they didn't think they really turned 6 until after their party!
