30 July, 2007Shark Week Party!
I hope everyone is aware that this week is the 20th Anniversary of Shark Week. Last night we rang in the most important week in television with a swingin’ shark week party!
Look we’re under the sea. I loved the balloons (my sister’s idea). Check out the blow up crab on top of the TV. I also had an octopus but Kyla sort of bit it.
Sharks in the bathtub. Ooh scary.
We watched Ocean of Fear and munched some shark goodies. The shark eggs (veggie dumplings with food coloring) were a little scary to everyone but they all got eaten! We also had under the sea cupcakes.
My favorite was the penguin. The food was a bigger hit than the tv show I think, it was all gone except for a few cupcakes! It was all vegan too which surprised some of the boys, I think, especially the “chicken” nuggets (they were supposed to be in the shape of fish heads but that didn’t work out).
Tropical fruit skewers and starfishwiches (tomato & cucumber with vegan cream cheese). We also had chum (strawberry lemonade that Jimmy whipped up), which I apparently didn’t get a picture of! Doh!
Fun party, thanks for coming, everyone!

Aw, I really wanted to watch "Ocean of Fear." It looked so scary.
You always have such fun parties!
I'm jealous…can't wait to have my own house to throw such lavish , fun affairs. Thanks for the inspiration..
Totally bitchin' party and food!
A Shark Week party - I LOVE it! My hubby would be all over that - some of his most prized possessions are his video tapes of Shark Week circa 1992....
shoot, i missed ocean of fear! i forget everything.
nice looking cuppycakes! hey if we all pitch in and buy you an ice cream truck, will you fill it with goodies and drive past our houses?
ah! I wish I was invited!
Great idea! Cute cupcakes!
i just found your site earlier today, and i must say. it's my new favorite spot!
you have great taste in design, fashion, and a ton of other stuff.
it's really a good read, so keep up with all the fun posts!
ps: this shark party looks soooooo cute!
HOLY COW! You are by far the most crafty and fun lady. Geesh. What an idea!
Thanks for inviting us - we had a blast. Everything was, as always, just as delicious as it was visually appealing, but I especially enjoyed the cucumber sandwiches and the dumplings.
Now I wish I would have taken a peak into the bathroom.
Ocean of Fear would have been more enjoyable if there weren't commercial breaks every five minutes, but oh well...who would have known?
BTW - I too just heard it was Man vs. Wild guy that was exposed. Can't trust anyone anymore :(
I did not realize shark week was an annual occurance
Amber,
I just love your party idea! I also live on the ocean, just a little south of you, on the Outer Banks. I am going to pass along your shark party to my teenage daughters :)
Thanks for inviting me, I couldn't get a sitter, I watched it all alone with no yummy delights... you're so amazing... is there anythig you CANT do.
