p>My son turned 9 on the day I posted this! NINE!! !
/p>
p>A Minecraft Party was requested. The easiest way to create one of these is to find other ideas from others! This is why I designed this board. Sunny By Design had many amazing things. Here's my ode to Minecraft Party..
/p>
p>Creeper juice. Those little Chubby drinks. Paper ripped off and faces put on.
/p>
p>Torches= twisted pretzel sticks. I could have coated the ends with red melting chocolate, but time ran away from me. http://raftlove2.jigsy.com/entries/general/Minecraft-Pocket-Edition-now-Available-on-IOS-in-new-Zealand-as-Universal-App The slime balls were meant to be jello-like green squares. But that was kept in my fridge. The zombie boogies were actually wasabi peas!
/p>
p>Sorry for blurry photo below. I started making tiny TNT bundles, but decided not to, putting them in glass instead. My most memorable moment of the evening was when I exclaimed "There are still plenty of fruits and vegetables left!" If you don't consume them today, I'm putting them in your loot bags!" There was a big woosh to the table and the food was being eaten. :
/p>
p>THe cake was a brownie rather than a cake. I decided to leave the edges uniced because the brownie would be more crumbly. The icing was made of Fluffy Boiled Frosting. It was not sweet at all. We had made way too many cakes, so I made meringue puffs. These were also left at home.
/p>
p>Here's something I learned: To make meringue, beat your egg whites. turn the oven on to 350 degrees Add them to the oven, shut off the oven and let them cool down. It's simple.
/p>
p>The signs and grass leaves came taken from Sizzix dies. The big, honkin' thick ones. It is possible to do this in the cuttlebug using a B plate on the bottom and top of the die. The A plate should not be used in any way. To let loose some party energy, we booked the local arena.
/p>
p>We go to the general skate at least once per week. This kid has come a long way in the last few weeks. He even looks like a skater now!
/p>
p>Dad and his son.
/p>
p>Everybody Sing ...... Happy Birthday to you!
/p>
p>Loot bag time!
/p>
p>The loot inside. I don't like bags for loot which contain lots of little items. So I gave handmade creeper cookies that took two days and a trip to the local bakery to put ice (Thanks Flying Fox) as well as an album of Minecraft Parodies. I found the title on YouTube? and gave it to my husband to use to create his magic. Then, some snacks.
/p>
p>Birthday party's all over! (paper characters)
/p>
p>It was a fun one!
/p>
p>Edited May 8: Wow y'all are probably on a frenzy for minecraft party ideas.What we would not do for our children. This post has had nearly 10,000 hits so far. In my world, that's quite a lot. People have been pinning my creepy juice bottles like crazy. Awesome. But take a look at my sidebar. 13 followers. It makes me feel uneasy. Are you interested in joining the party on my blog? Bookmark or follow me to see what else I've been doing. I've also created ninja peggies! These are great for the next party.
