Finally our birthday season is over
for 2012. Three birthdays in about 6 weeks is hard work!
Phoebe
loves the wiggles. For her birthday I managed to get us front row tickets to
the Wiggles concert. Can you imagine how gutted we were when we ended up being
put in quarantine by the hospital for possible measles. Obviously we were
relieved when we didn't get it but gutted for poor Phoebe that we had to miss
the concert!!
So I had to make this birthday extra special for her.
I managed to find a company with a Wiggles bouncy castle. Perfect!! On the day of the party it was pouring with rain. I was so disappointed and even phoned the company to ask if we could cancel the castle. Thank goodness we didn't (we would have had to pay full price anyway), because the weather changed and by the time the party started it was good! The kids loved it. I would definitely get a bouncy castle again.
I also purchased a Dorothy Costume. Yes another one to add to my collection! My good friend Susan agreed to be Dorothy. She was awesome. The kids loved her....and most importantly Phoebe was so excited to see her. It was great.
I made the invitations so that Phoebe was a Wiggle. She loved it. She actually thought she was there with the Wiggles so cute.
I just purchased a laminating machine...and I cant believe I haven't had one before. So everything got laminated...including my food labels...here's a selection of the snacks for the kids...

| Wiggly Water |
This time I went with just water bottles for the kids. It was so much easier. And so I designed and labelled each kids Wiggly Water bottled.

| Chocolate coated in butter cream |
I had actually prepared a couple of games but with Dorothy and the Bouncy Castle we just ran out of time. So we ended up only playing these with a few of the kids at the end. The Pin the Tail on the Dorothy was a free download...which of course I laminated. Holly was very pleased as she won!

Phoebe got to eat her party food in the special Dorothy Throne. This was a swing, which was dismantled after an accident, made by Bain. Its now just used as a chair!
I also decorated with a picture of the wiggles which I had printed. My aim is to get this put on to a wooden block frame so Phoebe can hang it in her room. The Mosaic Picture was created by the Wiggles. I had to submit a photo of the kids, and along with hundreds of other photos, these were made into this mosaic. The kids think it is awesome. The original image can be seen at http://www.wigglyfun.com/wigglyftp/mosaic/TheWigglesMosaic.jpg
And finally, the loot. My favourite part of organising a party is sorting out the goodies for the kids. That's the best party of any party right?? At Hunters pirate party all the kids received inflatable pirate swords. The same supplier I used for that I used for that also has inflatable guitars! Perfect. So when Dorothy arrived at the party, she gave all the kids inflatable guitars so they could play them while dancing with her.

I also made up loot bags for the kids which contained Wiggles Corn Chips, Lollies, Balloons, Poppers and lollies...the usual stuff. For each of the kids I made I photo card from Phoebe to say thank you, and put a photo of each child as the fifth wiggle. The kids thought it was so cool. Facebook is great for getting all those photos!! And of course I had to whip out my new laminating machine!

And of course I love to do something small for the adults. So they all received an Annies Wiggle bar. Which I can eat by the dozen...I love them.
I'll post another part to this party in the next day or so...this ones getting to long!
