Space man Birthday

My Son had his 8 year old Birthday.  He wanted to have a space theme.  Had fun with this one!  We prepared a cake that looked like the moon - kinda - we used york mints for the craters - doesnt that sound yummy???  As he loves LEGO(R) we made a moon rover out of lego to go on top as our topper.  Very cute cake

We did space games - I bought some of those little spring loaded, with suction cup ends hopper things that looked like aliens.  We had a space alien hop race across the carport. 

Ahead of time we made a way cool design for the background of a space / solar system.  We took some of those funny spiny balls and dipped them in multiple paint colors and dropped them onto our poster paper.  This made cool designs, which each kid at the party got a long sheet in order to design thier own universe.  They all had a grand time with this project. 

We had some fun relay races - all were winners and all had fun!
