SHARK NIGHT

We didn't even realize it was Shark Week on Discovery Channel, until it was already here. So we had to plan an impromptu party for 2 days later. We had one last year, and it was fun. So we did it again... with more people this time. We literally spent.... ALL..... DAY..... LONG..... saturday getting ready for our big night. Sophie kept saying, "this is the best... day... ever!" ha ha. Luckily the kids were having fun with all the preparations. 

We purchased goldfish for centerpieces... and Ashlin made a SHARK out of WATERMELON.

Swimming Centerpiece!

The kids and I had fun planning all the shark/sea decorations... 

Bruce was just excited for the Sea Food.

FISH FRY!!!

We had TWO kinds to choose from. Battered fish -OR- "SLAP YA MAMA" cajun breaded fish.... also clam chowder, shrimp, some kind of  yummy sea food soup Bruce concocted (we've never seen Mckane eat so much, ha ha)....

 mac'n'cheese, tator tots and other un-fishy foods.

We bought this flying AIR HOG remote control shark that really looked like it was swimming through the house all night... 

well worth the $23.99.

SHARK-FIN ICE!

Last October Logan begged for a fog machine for his birthday. I forgot to get him one. Luckily my Aunt Bev heard about it, and gave him one immediately. Logan begged to use it at the shark week party. So we did.

He had it fogging up the entry way when people arrived. The living room got pretty foggy that night... ha ha:

 Cute Abigail prepared a SHARK REPORT to present to us during the party. Filled with all kinds of riveting facts and pictures. She hearts learning about sharks. Could she be cuter?

 Logan and Emma did their "fishy fishy" dance for us.

And of course we watched lots of this:

 My kids told me their favorite thing was the big shark swimming around all night. ha ha.

Thank you to Logan, our Flying-Shark Control-Man!
