The Mommies went head to head this week in a challenge to create 3 different budget friendly Birthday Parties, and were well motivated with a prize of an hour and a half of free childcare!
Each team had to come up with a theme, an invitation, a cake or other food, decorations, and a game or activity without spending any money. The kids all voted on a winner, and we all celebrated together afterwards! 1st place- dinosaurs, 2nd place under the sea, 3rd place ice
cream. What a great collection of thrifty ideas!

Dinosaur team- leftover decorations from a past dinosaur party and lots of toy dinosaours, super cute dinosaur cake and dinosour teeth (triangle shaped pb and J sandwiches!), and a dinosour hunt for game. Total cost $1.25 for a box cake mix!
