The Mad Scientist Birthday Party

A boy from school invited Allie to his birthday party.  He also happens to be in Luke's gymnastics class where we ran into his mom the other day and where she invited Wesley and Luke to also come to the party.  So all three kids went.


Since the theme was Mad Scientist, the kids were supposed to show up with crazy hair.  We spiked the boys hair- there is only so much you can do with short hair.

Wesley doing his evil maniacal laugh:

Luke and Wesley sticking their tongues out Einstein style:

And then we did Allie's hair.

They had a really great time of course!  They made "lab coats" that they got to decorate themselves and goggles to wear for their experiments (pool goggles of course) as well as a lot of other fun stuff.  They got to see what happened to a flower put in dry ice and had eye ball cup cakes.  They did some other experiments (I guess grandpa was a chemist) so all in all it was some crazy fun!  One of the other things they come home with in their gift bags were mustaches.

This is Wesley being scientifically serious in his lab coat and mustache.

When Rachel got out of the shower tonight she wanted to put on the goggles.  I just laughed and laughed because to get them to fit, the eye pieces touch.  And then they fogged up! (more laughter...)

Rachel LOOOVES to hang on her seat and swing.  I have wanted to video tape it because it cracks me up- her own personal playground.  And she loooves to tackle Wesley (sleeping, awake, watching tv, etc.)
