Deciding to throw a four year old birthday party can make someone crazy. Deciding to throw a party dedicated to all things messy can make one completely insane. Luckily for me I am a master of controlled chaos. {Which is exactly what a messy birthday party is, just in case any of you were wondering} So 15 cans of shaving cream, 12 boxes of cornstarch, 8 bottles of paint later, and 14 boxes of Jell-o later, we were ready to party.
We let the kids paint their faces and bodies and glitter gel their hair

Everyone went through the kid wash
{please enlarge this picture and notice the looks of sheer terror on all of their faces}All you can eat "messy foods" like powdered donuts, pudding, jell-o, Cheetos etc.
