Matisyn's Scooby Doo Party

Matisyn's Scooby Doo Party
March 14

 Matisyn has been planning her Scooby birthday party for months.  She was torn between this and going to Chuck E Cheese, and when she finally decided on Scooby she was very excited about her decision!

 When the guests arrived they took turns pinning the sandwich on Scooby and coloring Scooby Doo pages.

 The party was set up like a mystery to solve.  The first clue was read and the hunt began for the missing cupcakes.  Clue #1:  "What’s new Scooby Doos?  To solve this mystery, you follow the clues.  It is so sad, there must have been a mistake, someone has stolen the precious birthday cupcakes.  Do you hear spooky music, I think I might, find the circle of chairs in sight.  Play the game to find the next clue."

 The game was musical chairs, which is one of Matisyn's favorites.  Clue #2:  "Follow the path and find your way, you can have a blast on this birthday.  Don’t get caught and say ra-row.  Head outside everybody to play hot potato."  We played hot potato out on the trampoline.  It had been a beautiful day, but started to sprinkle when we went outside, so we had to hurry the game and head back inside.

Clue #3:  "There’s a spooky theme to this mystery.  A ghost or goblin stole our cupcakes as you can see.  Jinkies guys, let’s dress up like mummies to fool those ghosts and get cupcakes in our tummies."

 After dressing up and acting like mummies they got to choose sunglasses to complete their disguise.  Clue #4:  "You’re getting way too close.  Meddling kids beware.  There’s a statue of Scooby hanging around somewhere.  It contains the last secret if you pull the right string, you’ll find treasure and candy and the final clue to the cupcakes in that thing."

 Matisyn had to have a Scooby Doo pinata, and she loved it so much he is still hanging in her room!  Everyone got a turn to pull the strings and in the second round Scooby opened up and revealed treasure and candy and the final clue.  Clue #5:  "Good job Scoobies, you found all the clues.  You meddling kids are giving me the blues.  I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for you.  Curse you mystery finding kids and your Scooby dog too!  To find the cupcakes you seek-into the pantry on the top shelf you must peek."

 Finally, the cupcakes!  The kids dug into the Scooby snacks right away while we got the candles ready to sing Happy Birthday.

Next we opened presents.  Everyone was so cute and excited to give her their present.  We took turns and let them sit up with her while she opened each present so I could get a picture of her with each of her friends.  Her guests were Cooper, Maili, Ellie, Van, Mylee, Ashley, Bryton, Kayla, Porter, and Reece.  She has a great group of friends.  We were missing Hannah and Olivia.

I can't believe my baby is 6!  I keep telling her she isn't allowed to get any bigger, but she reminds me that I taught her she will always be my baby even though she has to grow up!
