Jack chose Mad Scientest theme for his 8th Birthday party. We had so much fun. We held the party at the neighborhood clubhouse and transformed it to a science lab.  |
| Upon entering each child scanned her/his hand and picked up their lab coat; id tags; and safety goggles. hee hee |
 |
| Scientists started with some mild experiments--which is code for filler activities while we wait for everyone to arrive ;) Estimating the "particles" in the beaker was their first activity. Maddie came closest! |
 |
| Next they had to guess what they were viewing through the microscope. Jack picked the slide and fooled all his friends...bee legs...gross! |
 |
| I think they could have done this all day...an engineering station to build the largest tower out of gum drops and toothpicks. |
 |
| Dr. Jackson had it right! |
 |
| As did Dr. Jack...didn't take him long to weaponize the gum drops. |
 |
| Here's their creations...kind of ;) |
 |
| Happy Birthday Jack! |
 |
| We chose green and gray as our colors. Jack thought the combination conveyed MAD SCIENCE best! |
 |
| More for our amusement than theirs...guess the mad scientist. Do you recognize any of them? |
 |
| After everyone arrived the real show began. Professor here captivated the kids with his science tricks! |
 |
| Kids cut cups in half using acetone, aka mom's nail polish remover ;) |
 |
| Science isn't for the weak stomachs, Carter ;) |
 |
| Who doesn't love a good dry ice experiment...I even squealed when the Professor made George Washington scream! Here Jack is making the cork pop off the beaker...pressure! I feel pressure! |
 |
| WHOA!!!! |
 |
| This is they way Mad Scientists apparently bath. |
 |
| Now with bubbles! |
 |
| An ole' standby never to disappoint. The making of goo! |
 |
| None of that in the science lab...keep your google eyes to yourself Maddie (just kidding!) |
 |
| The science lesson here: centrifugal force...the kids all made their own cotton candy! |
 |
| Dr Jacob |
 |
| Dr Devin |
 |
| Dr Owen |
 |
| Outside for the big finale. Can you guess what these mad scientists are ready for now? |
 |
| 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.... |
 |
| Rocket man.... |
 |
| Time to feed those mad scientists! |
 |
| Yum! |
 |
| Mad Scientist Potion. Kids drank out of beakers. Cute! |
 |
| The Atomic Meatballs and Hot Dog Cornbread Compound |
 |
| My friend Kirda helped me name these Double Helix Cheese. I tried to name them after a sunscreen. whoops! |
 |
| Fruit Molecule and Exploding Corn (popcorn) were Jack's idea! |
 |
| Jelly Synthesis. Looks appetizing, huh? |
 |
| And let there be CAKE! |
 |
| My personal favorite! |
 |
| My friends helped me name these brains as well. I found Sarah Bellum most delicious. Hee hee. |
 |
| Hope your wish is granted WACKY JACKY! |
 |
| Gary's idea. Each child signed the chalkboard and we brought it home for Jack! |
Happy Birthday Jack! We are so proud of you! You are such a sweet boy with the most infectious smile. I adore your humor and thank you for all the smiles, giggles, belly laughs and sly chuckles throughout the years. You are such a thoughtful boy who is always striving to do the right thing--but in a way that brings joy to all those around you. And by joy, yes...I mean silliness ;) We are so blessed to have the privilege of being your mom and dad! Happy Birthday my little mad scientist.
Love,
Mom
