We spent Sunday celebrating my nephew’s 6th birthday!!
Kai really wanted a harmonica. Whoa. Not a good idea. My ears are still ringing. And Ken’s smile? Hilarious.
I thought it would be fun to do a little DIY gift for him and his brother. Of course I used Pinterest to find this tutorial on how to make water blobs! I ordered this stuff from Amazon…
And that’s when George became concerned that I was planning to make a Dexter-like kill room. He’s now on his best behavior so that worked out perfectly for me!
Because the plastic is 10 ft. by 25 ft, I thought it would be easiest to make the water blobs 2 ft. x 5 ft.
Biff really wanted to help.
It was pretty easy to cut straight across the two foot mark so I didn’t have to measure that much. As I’ve stated before, measuring is against my (completely made-up and fake) religion.
I ended up with two sections that were 2 ft. by 10 ft. I folded them in half and ironed the seams, leaving a hole to fill the water blobs with water and put the little sea creatures inside.
Biff thought the ironing part was pretty f*cking boring.
When I got to Kai’s house yesterday, I had the kids put all the sea creatures in the blobs, added food coloring, and filled them up with water. The kids had a good time playing with the hose and putting everything together. Oh and did I mention it was super inexpensive? So that’s cool too.
Kai refused to pose for pictures so I recruited Kennedy and Kaz to be my models.
They were excellent models!
Happy Birthday, Kai! I promise he was actually excited about his cake, the party, and all of his presents…even though it doesn’t really look like it.
Fun!!! 🙂
