Lions, Tigers and Chairs!!!

Three yearold birthday parties are funny!! Why because most of the parents think they can do all the fun games you would do at a 6 year old's party and the kids will catch on. Well some of them did, but Thing 1 left a party this weekend with a new found fear of Lions.

Scene set up.....
Party Theme: Jungle Animals
Party Game: smack the pinhata. (resembles a Lion)
Game Piece?: PVC pipe.(well innicially, then the mother switched for a woofle bat.)

My child is second in line. Takes a good health swing. Connects, rejoices in his hitting of the pinhata. Then upon seeing the "lion" swing back towards him, FLEES the scene, signing the sign for "scared" and saying RAAAAAAAW. Which translates into Lion. Adding additional flare......

Thing 1: "Totally not cool, Mom, that thing scared me!!"

We also attempted musical chairs. It turned out to be parents yelling like they just bet all their money on "Sea biscut". Only they yelled things like "SIT! SIT!SIT down". One child followed her chair out to the hall and sat in it.

I just wish I had my camera!!

LOL!!! I can totally picture it! We tried musical chairs once as a family and our kids thought they were dancing props. No concept. At. All.
