Marshall's Mad Science lab

This year was a birthday party year for Alex and he decided to have a science-themed birthday party.  I had a lot of fun planning and shopping for the party.  Thank goodness for pinterest.  I found lots of great ideas and science experiments.

Here is our entrance into the lab.  Don't forget to scan your hand for entrance!

Once inside, they had to determine what their mad scientist name was.  We had names like Dr. Alex Marvin Chunks and Dr. Kaden Giggle Farkle.  The boys thought it was pretty funny!

Then they had to pick up the Science notebook.  These had all the experiments in them and they would have to write down or draw what happened during each experiment.

Safety first!  Don't forget your goggles!

These were the party favors.  Inside had a test tube full of m&m's, pop rocks, sour gummy worms, and other trinkets.

What science lab is complete without bubbling liquid?

Ready to go with the first experiment.  Color changing milk:  milk, food coloring, and dish soap... so cool!

We also did the disappearing penny, Ivory soap explosion, elephant toothpaste, Marshmallow masher,  Floating m's, Exploding sandwich bag, and our favorite.... Soda pop explosion.

Then, of course, it was time to open presents!

We had a great day in the Marshall Mad Science Lab!

Alex's 6th birthday!

Happy Birthday Alex!  We had such a fun time celebrating your birthday!  You got to go to Build A Bear and make your very own stuffed animal.  Although there was a lot of animals to choose from, you eventually chose a dog and named him Brownie.

 You had a lot of fun controlling the machine as the lady helped stuff Brownie.

And then, you and Nixon had a great time "cleaning" Brownie and getting all the stuffing material off his fur.

Here you are ready to go. 

Then it was off to Apollo Burger for dinner with Grandma and Grandpa McGee, Uncle Kevin, Aunt Ali and Nixon, Dad and me, Abbi and Adam.  Then, of course it was home to open more presents and eat your icecream cake from Coldstone.

You are getting so big and are learning so much this year in Kindergarten.  I miss having you home with me in the mornings and then next year you'll be gone all day.  When I ask you what I'm going to do while you are in school, you tell me I will work with Daddy at the office.  You're probably right!  You are so much fun to have in our family.  You love to make up new laughs and are constantly trying to make others laugh. We love you very much Alex and are so proud of you!  Happy birthday Alex!

Love, 

Mom and Dad
