Emmalee got to have her second birthday celebrated at a Princess in the Kitchen party. We invited 6 of her little friends.


The kids could play in the ball pit when they first got there...

Remember this...
It became this. Eli was given full ownership of this kitchen. I figured it would give us some fun time together and fulfill his scouting requirement for building something. We still need to attach the oven door, I just can't quite figure out what kind of hinges to use on this funny side. We will save that discussion for later. I guess I have a one track mind.
My felt cakes. I put flowers on some. Actually, I was up late the night before making the flowers. That is why there were only flowers on enough cakes to give one to each girl.



I made an oven mitt for each little princess. For future reference, the little darlings all wanted one for each hand-remember that if you think you want to do a kitchen party-two each, not one :0)



Next we moved into my kitchen for a little recipe I like to call Goopie Stuff
In one bowl mix
1 1/2 cups warm water (in Arizona the cold comes out warm enough to boil something)
2 cups Elmer's glue
food coloring
In a separate bowl, mix :
1 1/3 cups warm water
2 teaspoons Borax
Mix the two bowls together, I use a spoon at first, then my hands, until it is totally combined. You can throw out any left over water.
If it is lumpy, just let it sit a few minutes.

I have been making this for years!!! You must know that the different brands of glue make a slightly different texture. Elmers is good. The Roseart and Target generic brand make it slightly more stretchy. This stuff bounces-a fact I chose to keep to myself around these happy, energetic children. We have a pile of plastic scissors I got from the dollar store about 6 years ago. I said something about forgetting to pull out the scissors and totally scared one mother. I got them out anyway. I am rather free spirited when it comes to toddlers. They can make whatever mess their creativity desires at my house. I am all about the messy moments of discovery.
Then we decorated our own cupcakes...
And Emmalee got her own cake to do with as she wished.

And that was how our Princess had a party in her Kitchen :0)
