Science birthday party for Maggie. (Praise be that Science birthday party for Maggie. (Praise be that’s the birthday parties over for the year). I made it happen. Geoff made the test tube cake (such a risky shape haha but that’s what she wanted) and Claire basically ran the entire thing. 😅 highly recommend older siblings that can do this. 

Each kid had goggles, Claire ran experiment demonstrations etc like lava lamp and elephant toothpaste and blowing up balloons with a reaction, the kids used pippets to drop coloured vinegar in baking soda in the foil trays for fizzy fun. They played musical statues (ice/liquid/gas) and ate food. Including some very cool microbe biscuits that my mum made and I failed to get a photo of - I also made microbe jelly with sprinkles and lolly snakes - that I also didn’t get a photo of. 

How do I rate this theme 8/10. Big impact and clear engaging activities. A little bit messy. Relatively cost effective - much cheaper than if you outsourced this. Not too hard to source things, but not very environmentally friendly although I’ll donate the test tubes and things to our school. Only real frustration was that we decided to bite the bullet and buy mini lab coats as the party bag equivalent (CUTE) BUT the shipping was delayed and they get here Monday 🤦‍♀️ instead we did lolly test tubes as a party bag (which was somewhat always on the cards) recommend preparing in advance (which I did because this is not my first rodeo)

The Thorn clan at home. I have a deep respect for The Thorn clan at home. I have a deep respect for this family and I’ve photographed them over many years in many forms. They showed up with some jet lagged having just flown in, one child sick and one who had just woken from her nap but they wanted to prioritise being together. We gave up any plan of wandering down to their local park because quite frankly there were kids not coping and so they just played and mucked around in their backyard. I love the chaotic togetherness of a big group like this. I love watching the small family units within the large and the tier dynamics of adult siblings and of cousins and grandparents with their cups and arms full. It is very good. 

Photos hitting your inbox soon lovely Jane! @jthorn1711

...let’s just say one child was still trying to talk to me while I was brushing her teeth tonight. 🫠
