My calling not only consist of teaching sharing time for the Primary children at church, but I am also over the Cub Scouts. I don't do much with them. I pretty much let the cub master do as he pleases. He will call on my every now and again to help him. When he called me to help decorate for the pinewood derby I was extactic. These races are always so much fun. I had already been doing research for my sons birthday party, so a lot of my work was done for me.
Pit stop station. Sorry no close ups of the food. But I had everything labeled. We had:
Fruit cars (apple slices with grapes stuck on for wheels)
Wheelie Pasta Salad (wheel shaped pasta)
Dipsticks (choc. dipped pretzel rods)
spare tires (choc. donuts)
hub caps and lube oil (nachos and cheese)
tools (silver ware
gas (ginger ale)
oil (root beer)
hot dogs (pistons)
I stacked boxes up so we could show off our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. I also had made a sign for the "sign in" table that also looked like this one.
I came up with the idea of having a station for the little brothers and sisters who came to help keep the occupied since they couldn't race. It was a car toss. I bought cheap cars from the dollar store and had them toss them in the buckets. I had planned on having a real spare tire they could toss them in, but I wasn't strong enough to pick one of them up to transport it. So buckets had to do.

I usually don't throw birthday parties, but I have decided that I would probably throw one for my kids this year. I went to Party City 2 months ago and bought all of their Under The Sea party decor. I know that it was December and my kids birthday isn't until August, but I couldn't let things go by me that were 90% off. That is a steal! I have stashed everything in my closest just waiting for the perfect time to pop out for the summer. Well, as I was blog surfing I came across CupKate's Event Designs. She is very talented and AmAzInG! She threw this beautiful party and took pictures of all the details she created. Of course I fell madly in love with it right away, because HELLO it already matched the theme I was going to do. Thank You CupKate you have taken all the hard work out of my party planning. I had to put you on my blog so I wouldn't loose your post in fabulous blog world. Thank You
