I had been trying to do a post on M's birthday, which was about 3 months ago, and somehow it all disappeared. This is likely because I was attempting to post on my phone and I have not mastered the mobile app. So, I'm going to post it now, because it was a really cool party, and I put a boatload of work into it, so I want to brag a little.
M chose a Muppets themed party since they are his absolute obsession. This required a lot of creativity on my part since it's difficult to find regular character items in Whitehorse, let alone Muppets. Thank goodness for Ebay. It has been my Muppet saviour more than once over the last year.
The centrepiece was a Kermit piñata which I found at this awesome site
Kermit piñata
Here's how it started out with our Kermit as a guide.
M helped put all the little tissue bits on. It was a very long process.
The finished project. I swore I would never do this again. I may have lied to myself because now I think I could totally do another one. FYI, this is a ribbon piñata so there was no destroying all our hard work. Kermit is intact and patiently waiting for another party. So, maybe I need to consider a Miss Piggy one because shouldn't he have a friend for the next party?
Our super awesome spinach and strawberry cupcakes. M wanted pink and green cupcakes and I didn't want to use dyes so I opted for a natural version.
The cool plates we ordered on Ebay. We also ordered in matching napkins, balloons and stickers.
Camilla the chicken! She was a super messy craft but pretty darn easy to put together. Check it out

All in all the party was a blast. M was able to add to his Muppet collection with Beaker, Statler and Waldorf. He's certain he needs a shelf for his Muppets so he can keep them all even when he's an adult. He's also determined to find every muppet that exists so he just might need that shelf.
Hopefully next year he'll still love the Muppets because I have all sorts of ideas for his 6th birthday.
