Rock Climbing Party Day 5 Foodie Friday

Hi all and thanks for reading my week long post about my son's Rock Climbing Party!!!  :)  It was a great time and since it's also Foodie Friday, I thought I'd focus a bit on the food! :)
My BBFF, Christy, http://christyrobbins.blogspot.com/ ( who is also a STAR on Good Morning Texas!) suggested a trail mix bar.  What a fun idea!!
I made paper cones using my faithful Cricut and set out some fun trail mix fixin's....
pretzels
Halloween marshmallows
M&M's
White Cheddar Cheese-It's
Chex cereal - baked and seasoned with seasoned salt
Dry Roasted Peanuts

The kids seemed to like it.  I really didn't need much food since it was only a 2 hour party and with 7 climbers getting ready, climbing...etc, cookie cake, and presents this was just enough!!  With their goodie bag bottles to take home! :)  YAY!

Rockin' Party Day 4

Whew!  What a great PARTY!!!!  We all had a great time and Al was one happy Rock Climber!
All of the boys had a great time.  I would give this party two BIG thumbs up!!!  Two hours was plenty of time..not too long and not too short and every boy (and girl!) had fun! 

Rock climbing party Day 3

Wahoo!  I am so excited to introduce you to Rosy!  She does awesome Fondant work!!!  I found her on Etsy and if you need any fondant work, please check her out!!!  She is super sweet (pun intended!), FAST, easy to communicate with, and most of all her work is really GREAT and at the right price!  Thank you, Rosy!  http://www.etsy.com/people/craftyrosy

I really got some help with today's post.  I really didn't do anything but put the fondant on! :)  I am proud of myself because I usually try to do it all and then get upset with myself for not ever getting everything done that I intended.  This party was not like that.  Mostly because I realized that I didn't have to do it all and could get help...I got help! 
Sam's Club made the Cookie (Al doesn't like cake?!  I know, he needs to get his mind right).  The cookie is not one, but DOUBLE layered!  Yes, that means cookie, icing, cookie and more icing!!!  Yowza!!!!  That equates to exactly 9,356 calories per square inch.  Glad only a couple kids are staying over! 
Thanks agian, Rosy!  This will NOT be the last you see of her work!!!  I promise!!

Rockin' fun day 2 - water bottle goodie bags

HI!!
Al's party was so much fun and at 12 goodie bags are still one of their favorite parts of the party!!  I had a lot of fun getting these together!  I found these aluminum bottles at the Dollar Store!?!?  Wow.  Who knew?  I big heart that place and need to make it a habit of checking there first! 
Anyway, these bottles held all the goodies - candy that Al picked out and too bad not all of it would fit, but that's okay, we got them all handed out anyway!  :)  I had to put the Pop Rocks and Rock Candy to the side, but it all worked out fine because the boys just enjoyed them at the party or took them home.  YAY! 
I used the Batman Font and cut their names out of vinyl and stuck 'em on.  Whamo!  Took all of 10 minutes, literally!  My kind of project!  And all kept saying that they are "Wicked!" 
Enjoy!

Oh, these 'rock wall climbers' didn't fit either, so I just made sure everyone got one!  Found at Party City for 25 cents each!

Had to have Rock Candy!!!

The fillers!  Sticking with the climbing theme we had to have Air Heads!  And Air Head suckers (I didn't even know they had them!) and Bubble Gum, we also had WarHeads (Al loves those!), and remember Zebra Stripe gum?!?!  Well they had it at Party City in little chicklet type packs!!!  15 2-piece packs for $1! :)  YAY!! 

I found these at JoAnn's and put one on the top of each bottle

Before pic of bottles...exciting, I know!  :)

YAY!  Loved how they turned out!

Rock Climbing Party!!! Day 1

YAY!!  Happy Birthday to my 12 year old son, Alex!!!  He's incredible and I'm so proud that he is mine!  This year we decided to do a rock-climbing party.  How fun is that?!?!  Well, we did it up...and how!  First the invites...  I think these turned out really, really, REALLY cute!  I used paper doll dress up and cut out one of the guys and then I made rocks by cutting the caveman hair really small and it looked like the rocks on a rock wall!  I did it up, tied some string so it hung down and then I pop doted the boy.  I was going to use one of those boingy things but my guys were too thin.  Oh well, they are cute just like this! 

I will post more tomorrow.  I have water bottles, the fondant for a cookie cake (OMG!  Sooo cute and I didn't make it - found it on Etsy - thanks Crafty ROSY!!!!), and the party itself including a trail mix bar.  (Thanks Christy!)

TTFN,

Tammy
