Kyle’s 6th Birthday Party

I wanted an astraunaut theme party.
Kyle wanted a racing car birthday cake.
But, when we went to order the cake, he changed his mind and wanted a construction site cake instead.
I’ve already prepared everything for racer going to the moon theme and had to add construction trucks to the scene at the last minute. =)
A racer/astronaut/construction worker birthday party!
Race cars, construction trucks, moon balls and rockets.
I meant to create moon craters with candies and outer space foam stickers, but ended up just piling them up.
Construction site on the moon.
Moon dirt racing. Yellow is Kyle’s new favorite color.
All the gumball favors packed and ready for the party.
Space rockets waiting to be launched. Heehee.
All party items neatly packed in the trunk.
The birthday party was at a moon bouncing place about 50 minutes drive from us and for most of our guests. I wanted our guests to feel it was worth the driving. It looked great to have party favors on the table. But, was a bit chaotic cuz kids wanted to open them up instead of eating pizzas/cakes first.
I also took instant photos of all the kids. And it was an instant hit by the parents! They were surprised to see the polaroid camera again. I have Fujifilm Instax MINI 25 Instant Film Camera (White)
I wasn’t going to throw a birthday party for Kyle this year. Because kid birthday parties are expensive if you are having at a party place. And, knowing me, I would spend way too much time and money on decoration/favor. But, Kyle was like “What about my birthday party?” when we were going to his friend’s party. So, I felt guilty and changed my mind.
His party was at House of Bounce, and this is third time we had Kyle’s birthday party here. I wasn’t going to book this place again because one girl broke her arm last year when she didn’t land properly from the slide. I felt terrible for her and her parents. But, the staffs are really nice and very accommodating, great for the private party, and the price is better than other birthday party places around here. So, I went with them again. Thankfully no one got “seriously” hurt this time! *whew*

Those take home treats are fantastic! I want one too!
I love the rocket theme, and you did a great job of adding the construction theme at the last minute!
I’ve been wanting that instant camera since I saw it on Ali Edward’s blog! It would be so cool to make mini albums!

I have to commend you for being so flexible–I find when I have inspiration (like you did for the astronaut theme) I will almost forget about what my son wants for his birthday. I probably would have given in on the race cars-but no sure if I wouldhave been able to think properly when the construction cake came into play! Love all your stuff

You are THE BEST MOM EVER!

Oh my gosh, you seriously rocked this girlie! Does your son know how lucky he is to have you!! You really need to come to my house and plan Chris’ 6th b-day party – wow, just amazing! We used to go to a similar place here called Hullabaloos….had a huge bounce house and now it has shut down…I think it was due to the economy…so sad, one of my son’s favorite places!

Wow Sunghee!! How can you manage an astronaut-race-construction theme?! You’re clever! Love the piles goodies with the little bulldozer beside them.
so creative. I would have probably cry while buying the cake, throw away everything i already made and tell my daughter that was her last party ever. You’re a great mom! Your son will apologize when he gets older… I hope!
