Our Ferris Wheel

Happy Birthday Tanner!!

My little boy turned S*I*X years old...6! I know, it happens every year at the same time but every year it still surprises me that my sweet, kind hearted Tanner is growing up F*A*S*T! In my heart I still think of him as my baby.

Here is the fabulous invitation my friend Devanie Garrett designed. Tanner thought they were pretty cool.

My inspiration for this party came from Sugar Tot Design. This lady is super talented! I loved all the fun decorating ideas. You can order this party from her here. I was on a budget so I just ask my super talented friend to design the little touches for this party (cake toppers, drink wrappers, etc) for me. As you can see she did an amazing job!!

Sewer lid cupcake stand. So easy and super cheap to make. I took foam board from Joann's craft and cut it into circles. Then I took hot glue and made them look like sewer toppers which I realized was a waste of time because the cupcakes covered the detailed designs. I then covered them with tinfoil. Then I stacked them on top of each other by using regular 14 oz cans.

Sewer Sludge! I used 4oz green chilies cans that I had been saving for a month. I washed them out and put chocolate pudding at the bottom then covered it with crumbled Oreo's and placed a gummy worm inside. The newer ninja turtle version always has them eating dirt with worms coming out.

Toxic Ooze...you can't have a party with out the ooze. There were so many different recipes for ooze when I googled ideas and this was the one I liked best. This is a flubber recipe I got here. I think I doubled the recipe which made enough for 12 med sized baby food jars.

Green Duct tape gave the perfect pop of color.

Pizza box party favors! The boxes I got free from Pizza Hut and the goodies inside came from Target.

I made masks for all the party guests. They were the ninja turtle colors. They got to decide which ninja turtle they wanted to be for the evening.

To get the party started each of the guests were given mutation slim. The kids were so funny while they were eating the (lime green jello) slim. They said things like "I can feel it working." I'm changing into a ninja turtle." I can feel my body transforming"...LOL!! Such imaginations!!

After our little kiddos transformed into the ninja turtle of their choice they all pigged out on P*I*Z*Z*A just like ninja turtles do.

After our royal feast we moved into the gym for some games and a shredder pinata that I made myself! So...much...cheaper! It didn't look pretty but the kids didn't care they just wanted what was inside. We did a sewer lid toss, destroy shredder, and don't eat the Ooze.
