Happy 50th Birthday Dad



and now it has come around to be my Dad's turn! 
We had a Surprise 50th Birthday Party! With a little help from my 
hubby we managed to keep him away with a string of intricately woven lies...
right up until we all jumped out shouting SURPRISE!! 


Our one and only game was a Trivia Game with a question from each year of his life!
Everyone paired up and got to work for a little friendly competition!


And the Grand Prize
An Over the Hill Potty Night Light
(to ensure your old eyes never have problems seeing 
the potty in the middle of the night again)



and we gave a Jar of HOMEMADE FUDGE SAUCE!!

Here is the trivia game!





Decorations
My Dad loves to fish so we used a few of his supplies to decorate!
A fishing hat
On old fishing basket
Old fishing net
A Pheasant hunt crossstitch
And a clay partridge (he mad it!!!)




My FAVORITE PART!

The Old Timer's Candy Bar


We searched high and low and and tracked down all sorts of old candies!


Reese's Pieces





Sugar Daddy Caramel Pops




Double Lolly's 



Hot Lix Cinnamon Tooth Picks



Brach's Milk Maid Caramels




Bubble Gum Cigars




Charleston Chews





Boston Baked Beans



A GREAT SURPRISED FACE!




Happy Birthday Dad! I Love You! You have been a great influence on my life and, the lives of my kids! I Love You!

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

On an Indian Summer 90 degree day here we decided that cooking was overrated and so we dumped our spaghetti noodles in the blue pool!


First boil the noodles in food colored water!




Then add to pool and PLAY!!!



Our strainer from our sensory bin was a great addition to this pool! 
Some really fun creative pretend play cooking!
