Monster Party!

My little monster turned three this Summer. The theme I went for this year was silly monsters. It was a small party with just a few kids attending but it was a lot of fun. I kept it simple and easy and we did burgers and hot dogs for lunch with chips and drinks. The kids played outside in the sprinklers and then came in for the party after they had burned some energy off.

I used my favorite chocolate cake & frosting recipe then decorated with M&Ms, gum for the teeth, Oreo's for the eyes with green gummy life savers for the eyes. (That reminds me, I need to post my mom's chocolate cake recipe!)

To cut the watermelon, it can help to start with cutting out a square/rectangle shape, then go back in and round off the edges and cut out the teeth. Scrape out the watermelon a bit and add in your prepared fruit. Secure the nose and eyes with tooth picks. I added a chocolate chip to make the pupils in the eyes.
Add the very last minute I made a rainbow pom which you can see hanging from a chandelier in the last picture. It took about 10 minutes to make. Just pick up a package of the tissue paper in the colors you like and follow the instructions here. I've made these poms a bunch of times and they are quick and cheap to make.
All in all it was a pretty easy party to throw together for a small crowd. Happy Birthday little man!
