Darth Vader & Pinkelicous

Last month our local library hosted two very fun parties for children:  a Pinkelicious party and a Star Wars Party.  Both were equally fun and exciting for Hannah & Samuel.  

Sunday afternoon Hannah dressed head to toe in her favorite pink outfit + accessories as instructed by the invite.  I had never read the Pinkelicious books before so I wasn't sure what to expect but I can't imagine it being any different now.  The decorations were super cute and it was fun listening as several workers read a few of the books.

The Pinkelicious party included:
face painting
crafts -a  cupcake necklace and a felt cupcake
games - pin the cherry on the cupcake & if you successfully put your cherry on the cupcake you could choose a wand of your choice
snacks - pink cupcakes, pink lemonade and pink marshmallows

The following evening we returned to the library with Darth Vader and Princess Leia in towe.  Sammy had planned to be Darth Vader for Halloween so we already had his costume on hand.  Hannah wanted to be Princess Leia but insisted on wearing her pink outfit again.  At least I managed to get her hair up in the braided buns!
This time the party room was decorated with Star Wars books, which were available to be checked out.  They were playing one of the movies (don't ask me which) in the background.  

The Star Wars party included:
crafts - painting rocks to look like Star Wars characters and making a Chewbacca tissue box cover
games - Star Wars trivia which we won!  We received a Star Wars tin canister full of popcorn
snacks - Wookie Cookies, Yoda juice (green Hawaiian punch),  Bosch brownies

I didn't get as many pictures of this party b/c I was slightly preoccupied painting my rock and sewing the tissue box cover.  Bobby was busy winning the trivia for us :-)
