Race Car Birthday Party

My three-year-old is totally into race cars right now.  This is awesome for two reasons:

1) Race cars are everywhere and they are cheap.  I can pick up a Matchbox car for about a buck, which I do every single time that I attempt to take him to Target.  I'm not above bribery.

2) Race car is a Palindrome.  You know, words or phrases that are spelled the same forward and backward like level, civic, madam - and Drew's personal favorite - toot.  

I love grammar almost as much as I love buying his good behavior for a dollar.   

The party room

The Pit Stop: "dipsticks", strawberries, race car lollipops, "traffic lights", "Indy Cars", popcorn, Cars cookies, "tires", birthday cake and ice cream, Gatorade, Coke, Diet Coke and Coke Zero.  Bailey asked if we could get orange Gatorade instead and I was all like, "uh... sorry... doesn't match the party theme."

I made Indy Cars out of Swiss Cake Rolls, pretzel sticks and mini-marshmallows

Dipsticks were chocolate-dipped pretzels.  They probably taste much better than actual dipsticks.

I made checkered flag cones to fill with popcorn.

Tires were chocolate covered donuts.

I made traffic lights out of Rice Krispie treats and M&Ms.

I designed a pit pass for each child to wear at the party.  The birthday boy was the Crew Chief. 

Crafts, favors and pit passes 

We made race car door hangers.

We painted white matchbox cars with permanent markers.  I loved seeing all the kids' creations. 

Each child got to pose in the race car driver poster.

Opening gifts.  Do you think he's excited?  I can't tell. 

Happy 3rd Birthday, handsome!
