It's a PIG OUT Party!

Kalli had her 7th birthday party and invited a few friends. Her personally picked party theme was "Pigs". With the help of Tiffanie, Danny, and Amy we came up with some fun games to play and the kids had a great time.
As soon as we got out of the car the games began with only only boy becoming the "PIG" and everyone else had to chase the pig and try to put him back into the pen. Basically tag. They had a great time chasing and being chased.
Next, we had a "Pig Out"! I tied the kids arms behind their backs and had them eat yogurt or pudding out of a bowl. The girls really got into it but Kalli invited one boy and he wasn't into the hole mushy face thing but he was full of smiles!

Making pig noses out of egg cartons cut up and elastic glue gunned on was next. The paint took quite a while to dry so not too many pictures.

We then had a straw search our by the pig pen...not in the pig pen, just out side of it. The kids definitely notice the change in "fresh air." I explained that at night the pigs cuddle together and bury under the straw to get warm. We were just going to look through the straw for gumballs, erasers, and little sponge capsules that you put in water and they grow into farm animals (dollar store purchase). It was harder than I thought. The gumballs were individually wrapped and the plastic would stick to the straw. They looked liked little piggies on their hands and knees sorting and resorting through the straw.





This is the "pig roll" game. The kids on the ground are pigs and try to roll and touch you while you are jumping over them. Luckily no one got hurt and there were lots of giggles!









Last but certainly not least was the "PIG CAKE"!

You did a GREAT job! The cake looked awesome, and everyone looked like they had a marvelous time! Wish we could have been there because we would have fit in perfectly with the theme. :) Take care of you little piggies and hopefully we will make it up to your place again soon!
