Cars II Birthday Party

Saturday, we rented out the base theatre (FIFTY BUCKS which includes all-you-can-eat popcorn and drinks for everyone!) for Sidge's party. He picked Cars II as the movie he wanted to watch so we went with that theme. We kept our usual party goals:

1. Under $100
2. Around 1 hour (of course with a movie, it went longer)

I was most proud of the cupcake brownies I made. I cut them into rectangles and put a red, yellow, and green M&M on them so they looked just like stoplights. (You can barely see them in this photo. It's in front of the Cars pinata.) Speaking of the pinata, I bought that from a friend for $4 used and instead just filled it with candy and let people take candy out of it. 

The cupcakes were done by me so, no surprise, they were a pretty good disaster frosting-wise. (Where is Carla when I need her?) But I stuck little cardboard Cars pictures on top, and then, at the suggestion of JB, just told people the kids helped do the cupcakes. (Just kidding. I didn't tell people that and they didn't help.)

Our friend "Hannah" whom, even though she is not a tall person, we call "Big Hannah." Her Mykah KEPT shutting her eyes. So I gave up.

I had trouble taking a picture so the flash kept going off. Josh didn't like it
