In case you missed part 1---it's here
The birthday boy requested a small group of friends for his birthday this year. He wanted it to be a Scooby-Doo Mystery Party! I was all over it! The possibilities are endless!!! It's a perfect backyard party theme. There is something so quaint about a backyard party - ya know?
The hour-and-a-half party was filled with games and clues to slove a mystery.
I'll set the stage for you...
The kids were busy playing "Scooby-Scooby! Where's your bone" and the Freaky Phantom Villain (a.k.a. Boppa, Fulton's Grandad) crept into the backyard and swiped all the birthday presents. When the game was over, we discovered that all the gifts were missing. The phantom had left a trail of clues!!!
Any who...here are the deets!

Clue #3 was under the winner's chair
Game #4 Freaky Phantom Spray

They best part of the day!!!
When the phantom was down he handed over the next clue.
The kids raced to the table for Scooby-snacks and to sing Happy Birthday to Fulton!
Make a wish, sweet boy!!! I hope they always come true!!!
The next clue was hidden under the cupcake stand.
The final clue...
To the MYSTERY MACHINE!!!

You are one talented and creative Mommy! That was an awesome party with so many details to make it perfect!
Thx Lesley!!! I try! It's kind of tough with boys b/c they don't want all the frilly frou-frou stuff!
Claudia - Followed your link from the email to Leigh Curry. What a fun birthday party ... McIver's 8th is coming up next month... can I steal every single idea!? It looks like it was a great time for all!
