We had a little party with some of his closest buddies. It was a Harry Potter party.
First, we brought all the boys into "Honeydukes Sweet Shoppe" to sample some treats:
The next thing we did was a potions class. 'Professor Snape' came and helped the boys mix up a potion with petrified dinosaur bones (sugar), cobra venom (lemon juice) and Himalayan Dragon Scales (fizzy fruit drink tablets). It was a delicious fruit punch with a fizz!
"Professor Snape"
Next professor snape mixed up some "slug slime" for the boys to play with:
We used the recipe for 'flubber,' which is elmer's glue mixed with water and borax mixed with water. When you pour it together, it instantly gels and makes this wiggly gross substance that young boys love to play with. Caution: the borax is toxic, so it is not recommended for younger children.
Next we had a 'dragon egg' hunt in the front yard...the grounds keep Hagrid needed the boys to help clean up a bunch of dragon eggs that were laid on school grounds. They were golden chocolate eggs. (Yeah, we realized that we did a little too much candy!!!)
Finally after cake, ice cream and presents, we award each young wizard their own light up Harry Potter wand. Fun was had by all!
Joshua's 'cake" was a giant chocolate chip cookie...as requested by the birthday boy. It was a 'giant' success...hahaha!
Happy, fun day!

Wow! A lot of prep work went into this party (you even had the greasy-hair wig for "Snape")!
I'm sure Joshua will remember this as being one of the coolest birthday parties ever! Well done!
Such a fun party! The boys really enjoyed it. Thanks!
