B's 4th Birthday- Buzz Lightyear

My son had an obsession with going to space and going to the "spaceport". He would stand in the backyard, stretching his arms up trying to reach the sky. Needless to say, that didn't work. So option number 2 was to jump on the trampoline and try and reach the sky. Nope, didnt work either. After thinking about it, he decided it was time to get daddy on board and try and convince him to buy a really tall ladder that will get him to the sky.
So, it got me thinking, he had already decided he wanted a Buzz Lightyear birthday party, so why not bring space to him? Easy enough right??
We started by making paper mache planets, and cutting out cardboard stars and painting them yellow then sprinkled with gold glitter. We got Black plastic wrap that went on the walls and ceiling only (warning parents of younger kids that it was there, so to keep an eye on them), and finally a couple of helium balloons.
So decorations were sorted.
For music, I went on iTunes and downloaded the Toy Story soundtrack. Also Toy Story was on the TV for the shy kids.

For food, I didn't do a lot of themed food but i had homemade sausage rolls (with hidden vegies), MilkyWay chocolate bars, and Starburst lollies (so there was a little bit of a theme)

The cake was Buzz in space with some aliens.

For the lolly bags we used noodle boxes and put on them a photo of Master B with Buzz that I ordered from a photographer.

Our party wasn't what you may call "perfect" but we did it on our own and Master B had heaps of fun on the day- which is the most important thing :)
