silas' 8th birthday - {a MAD science party}
Silas' MAD Science Party was a huge success. My expectations were exceeded and I think this may have been my favorite party to date. It was no fuss, no stress, extremely low key {since the guy showed up, set up, and tore down everything}, and every single kid had a blast. I mean, it was the perfect day for Silas.
When I asked him what he thought, he noted, "I thought it was going to be good... but not that good. It was GREAT." The "Mad Scientist" did a fantastic job and I couldn't give better reviews. Hands down, awesome. And I love how we did it. Typically, we have a big family party on the weekend. This year, we opted to do it at school. This way, his entire class got to be a part of it, all of his cousins were pulled in as well, and it was on his birthday. Since it was educational, I got the okay for it to take up class time. The entire presentation was a little over an hour, but the kids were on the edge of their seats the entire time, giggling up a storm. There were plenty of "ohhh's" and "ahhhhh's" to be heard. I wished everyone could have experienced it.
Can't. beat. that.
Here's some photos from our day. Silas was one happy camper - I mean, scientist.

| I didn't have a lot of space to decorate, but had fun with the little details, nonetheless. |
 |
| I wish we would've taken this photo after the party. This was before, right when he met the guy. I think he was a little unsure... at first! |
 |
| Papaw flew in for the party. He hasn't missed a birthday yet - nine years and counting. |
 |
| I loved the goodie bags: a magnifying glass, an atomic bouncy ball, a test tube filled with rock candy, and the best - nerds. |
 |
| Eli got in on the fun too. He cracked me up - I could hear his little giggle over all the kids, the whole time. |
 |
| Silas was in heaven. |
 |
| He made sure all his cousins got to participate. |
 |
| {Shhhh!} It was just as fun for the adults, as the kids. |
 |
| 11:06 a.m. - the moment he turned eight! |
 |
| We ended the night at Peter Piper Pizza as a family. It was great. We were basically the only ones in the whole place. It was calm, quiet, and so enjoyable. |
 |
| Little hams. Their prizes for all their hard earned tickets. Notice Eli's bling. They both got one. Mmm hmm. Not lying. |
