Well you have a kicking "Scienterrific" party, that's what you do. And you have about 12 seven years do crazy, messy experiments and then send the kids home with goop that could possibly ruin their carpet.
Tate loved every minute of it, so it was totally worth it.
Experiment number 1: exploding coke.
If you haven't ever done this, try it sometime it is a blast. Add 5 mentos to a coke and it explodes up in the air. Luckily I am a really on the ball person and ran to get my camera after they started. You'll just have to imagine a huge fountain of coke and a bunch of seven year olds laughing their guts out.Experiment number 2: Volcanos (aka:baking soda mixed with vinegar)
This one was definetly the crowd favorite. If you can't tell by Tate's expression. Pretty soon we started mixing food colors and the explosions got bigger and better. 
Experiment number 3: Goop (which I found out later, if left on carpet, it hardens to the point of unremovability.)
Lastly, my failed attempt at the cake. Can I just say I way overestimate my abilities as a baker. I found a cute "sciency cake" cake and thought, that shouldn't be to hard. Hah! It didn't turn out anything like the picture. I swear next year I am buying a cake.
This is what the cake is supposed to look like. Don't you think they make it look soooo easy?
In the end the party was worth the mess, the planning, and the clean up (wow, the clean up!). Tater's love of all things science is just so endearing. Can't wait to see what he comes up with for next year.

What an awesome idea!! That looks like so much fun! I love science experiments... they always amaze me!! I love it!
That looks like a blast--literally! I'm sure Tate just adored it. Now I'm inspired to actually throw Ava a two-year-old party. Way to go!
you seriously are the coolest mom ever!! what a fun party!!
What was the goop recipe that hardens in the carpet? I just made your sidewalk paint recipe the other day from last year.
I thought the cake looked pretty good! What a fun party!
