DS's birthday

[Sewcute]

NOT to take away from "NU's" birthday...LOL

But DH and I just decided to have a BBQ for DS's birthday this Sunday. He loves Bob the builder, but theres not much stuff out there to buy! I know what I'm doing for the cake (a 9x13" cake made to look like a construstion site), but as far as the food............I'm at a loss!

What is your most requested BBQ recipe? I know I can be creative with the names (like "Mucks favorite chili" or "Dizzy's rotini pasta salad")...but I need the recipes to name!

TIA

WOULD THIS PASS FOR SOMETHING BOB THE BUILDER WOULD USE?

What about burgers and hotdogs. Rolls could be foundation and roof, mustard could be a yield sign dip (you could even past a sign on the jar or bottle), ketchup could be stop sign dip. Relish could be grass starter boy am I stretching here. Maybe a chip dip could be concrete.

Re: DS's birthday

I LOVE IT!
a big yeild sign on the mustard container, a big STOP sign on the ketchup!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
grass starter on the relish... GREAT IDEA!!!!!

I need qucik & easy ideas (I only have a few days), and these are PERFECT

Re: DS's birthday

We had a Bob the Builder party once. I got everyone one of those cloth tool belts from Home Depot and filled them with plastic tools from the Dollar Store. I sent away for Bob plastic hardhats, but I bet you could find some reg. plastic hardhats at the dollar store too.

Re: DS's birthday

I'm glad you liked the idea. Maybe add watermelon cut into cubes it could be bricks and pineapple wedges and sliced could be landscaping bricks. Sorry I only have a daughter have great girl party experience.

Re: DS's birthday

What if you pick up a toy dump truck... Put goodies in the back of it?. What about doing something with candy corn? You know, it kinda looks like the Traffic orange cones....
A plastic construction hat or two filled with chips? Or dips?

Re: DS's birthday

Found this idea....Dizzy's Cement: Make vanilla shakes and add a few drops of black food coloring to look like cement.

Re: DS's birthday

oh yeah! What great ideas for decorating!!!!

I like the dump truck idea...I think I'll fill one with pasta salad and one with maybe hotdogs or something.

Construction hats...with chips...LOVE IT! Not much time to buy this stuff...going out today and I'll see what I find. I'll improvise with what I find. Have 2 dollar stores a few towns over, will check today. also thinking if I find an actual "CONE" how to make it into a pinata.

now I just need RECIPES! I'll google more, and search family fun...thanks everyone!
