Shindig Saturday Weekly Linky Party #31

It has been a wonderfully, tiring, crazy week.

My sister was here and we had a good time visiting and hanging out. Thanks to my crazy schedule as a mom and small business owner, we didn't get to do anything too nuts, but it was WONDERFUL to have her here and be with her.

But now she's heading home and we are moving into birthday week.  This week two of my three boys have birthdays.  I love celebrating my sweet children and the joy the bring into my life.  So this week's printable has to do with little boys.

Mothers of Little Boys work from Son Up to Son Down!

Are you doing anything fun this week?

Show us your newest party or fun creations by sharing your favorite party themed craft, table scape, photo, favor, or whatever! I'm pretty flexible since just about everything can be used at a party...that's the great thing about us moms! We can see the potential in ANYTHING!

Linky Party Guidelines:

* Link up to your OWN project post, not just your blog, but your actual post. (We want to see it!)

*Grab a Shindig Saturday button for your post or blog page. (Hey, it benefits us all!)

*Stay and enjoy the party by visiting and commenting on other's projects. (It's fun to mix and mingle!)

Neon Glow Birthday Party

Tonight was Drama Queen's 16th Birthday party.

Wow.

It was quite an evening.  We ended up with 26 kids out of 50, but it was crazy.

We had glow chandeliers hanging from trees

over a dance floor created from glow columns.

We also had glowing food, glowing face paint, and glowing necklaces.

The face paint was an unexpected consequence of mom not supervising a painting project with Crayola's glow in the dark paint.  It got a little out of control, but fortunately, the paint washed off pretty easily and it did look kinda cool.  (But don't tell them I said that.)  They took the paint and painted on their faces fun shapes and when they went outside, it glowed pretty awesome.

The glow food was courtesy of Our Best Bites.  I wish I had been able to take a cool picture, but we got lost in the moment of the party and didn't.  But we replaced 1/2 cup of the water needed in jello jigglers with Tonic water and created the recipe as the box says.  Turned out super fun.

We had a really good time and enjoyed all the glow, dancing, food, and friends.
