Bob the Builder Contruction Party

19th April 2010
Austin’s Bob the Builder Party
Austin was turning three and his favourite thing in the world was his Bob the Builder Toys.

Luckily the weather was lovely and we were able to put up a big gazebo for the day. Austin and Dad wrote on the blackboard outside “Bob’s Party Workshop”. Inside we decorated with heaps of Bob the builder Banners and Yellow and Orange balloons. We got some old carpet and put it down for the kids to play games on.

We managed to get a pop up tent of Scoop that all the kids enjoyed playing with.

Car Racing Party

22nd August 2009
For Leroy’s 4th Birthday we themed it as a Car party. Leroy’s lovely godparents organised a racing car to come to our place on the day so the kids could have photos and a play in it. Leroy was so excited to see his name on the Licence Plates.



We brought some chequered material and made flags to go up the driveway. We managed to get some free tyres and brought some small road cones to set up our race track.

Inside we had Black and White balloons and Car racing banners.


Grandad Gordon made Leroy a Go Cart with his Name on in. This was such a hit with all the kids.



Invitation

The Invitation I made for Leroy had a picture of Roary the racing Car on it. We also made Pit Passes for all the guests to wear. The kids were in Team 1 and the Adults in Team 2. These were worn around everyone's necks once they entered into the race track (our front yard)
