I found some really neat pool stuff at Garden Ridge for a total of $13 and Erik blew everything up for us. The kids were going nuts, I think Noah really likes the floats. I bought a giant whale float to hang in the welcome landing and he is Caleb's new BFF. So cute, he said "mommy can the whale watch my movie with me?" he has been going crazy riding him and I guess they needed some down time!
So I am the most excited about some dishes I am thinking about making. I saw a cute way to do an octopus and some oysters. I of course will take it to another level because my mind just keeps going- So here are my options- The octopus could be a fruit dip with an apple as the head of the octopus or it could be a chip dip with a red pepper as the head. Both could be colored with blue- so it seems like he is swimming.
The oysters could be crackers with like a cheese spread in the middle colored pink with a pearl onion in the middle or they could be vanilla wafers with pink frosting and a yogurt raisin
in the middle. OR another extreme I could dip the vanilla wafers in white chocolate and then put pink frosting and a yogurt raisin in the middle. hmmm just have to decide on the amount of time I will have for that one. SO savoury or sweet???? Kids love sweet- there will be adults at the party too.... I think I will also be serving peanut butter and jellyfish, shells and cheese and fish sticks. Pretty easy and kids love that kind of food.
Also working on some costumes. Yes friends- I am insane. Caleb wants to be a seagull. Ha! He came up with that all on his own- like asked if he could come to the party as a seagull. So funny, I told him that seagulls eat crabs and that it might be weird- but he insisted. So I am making him an easy easy seagull costume. Also- well there has to be a mermaid- right? I am trying to rope my sister into being the mermaid. I already bought her a shell bra!!! ha!!! Then she can paint kids faces or something.
