I'm glad you were able to find the blog. Do thin out that chocolate with a little vegetable oil... that's the one thing I wish I would have done differently the first time around. Other than that, it worked out gloriously. No worries! I’m glad you were able to find the blog.

We had a party yesterday - not a bug party this time - but the kids favorite game could easily be adapted to bugs. Basically we took a bunch of ping-pong balls and water sprayers, and the kids had to squirt the ping pong balls across a line and back, relay race style. All you'd have to do to make it bug related = draw bugs on the balls in permanent marker. Maybe even multi colored permanent marker so each team has their own color or even their own style of bug (ladybugs vs the ants or something). That game was a riot. We did have one girl who was 4.5 and she had a harder time with that game, but most of the kids (ages 6-10) had a great time with it, and they just helped the younger girl on her turns. Alicia, thanks. hehe. It really was lots of fun & we would have loved to have had another person there who'd enjoy it! In fact looking back, I think most of the people there really had a great time, parents included. Most of the criticism was from one person and I just took way too much stock in what he had to say about this party and pretty much everything else ever I did too. I'm doing much better now. :-) gweipo, The caterpillar cake was definitely the most successful part of the party, but the kids really did enjoying threading beads on pipe-cleaners to make antennae for bug visors, and the ‘bug hunt’ was also a hit & the bugs doubled as great favors.
