Finally: Matthew's April Birthday Party

Matthew had a birthday in April.  He'd been planning his birthday for over a year as last year we'd collected all the cool party stuff for his birthday, but then we never actually had the party. Nice little kid that he is, Matthew decided to postpone his space party to this year's birthday. 

Here's the cake that Matthew designed, and mom baked.

In keeping with the space theme, everyone got to do scientific experiments.

What's a party without streamers?

And here we have blastoff!  If you look carefully, you'll see I caught the very beginning of the bottle eruption on camera.  More important was the pure joy on two little boy's faces.

And what is a scientific space party without a little milk art? The two black things are raisins, from the bouncing raisin experiment.

What a fun time.  Matthew said it was worth the wait. 

Here's Dad lighting the moom/rocket ship cake.

Very, very cool.
