So finally after it being cancelled twice we were able to do Ty's 4th birthday party. I was ready to just forget about the whole thing and I realized people had bought him a present and I felt bad. Besides I knew Ty would love it. I had the house decorated, again, and we were ready to go! 
I filled a room in our basement used for storage with about 100 balloons. I had prizes on the floor they had to find. I decided to send in small groups at a time because I was worried 10kids in a tiny room would be too much. They loved it! 
The group. All but one are in the Joy school we do which made the whole thing easier on me I think. I know about how long to make things go and how many games about to plan. They knew me and my house too so they were really good. 
You always have to have a funny face group picture.
Here are a few pictures of some of the games we played:
The keep the balloon up in the air game. They loved that.
They loved all the balloons.
For a time filler I pulled out my favorite bubbles in the whole wide world. They are from Gymboree and they are the best thing ever. I told them to catch the bubble on their nose.
We were playing a game where we popped balloons and she thought it was too noisy. She went over to the wall and covered her ears. It was just too cute with those sunglasses!
Musical Chairs. They were so funny because they had to run around the chairs instead of walking.
We played a game where you had to herd the "cows" (balloons with spots on them) into the corner. I was worried how it would work out but the kids would chant for the other kids and they thought it was great.
Ty loved the party. We also played pin the tire on the tractor, they decorated bandanas so they could be farmers, and the floor pinata game with the balloons. I thought with all the mess this party was I wouldn't do it again for awhile but after it was over and Tyson loved it so much I would do it again. It helped the kids were SOOO good and the games worked out really well. Also my Aunt Roxey helped me out. I needed another set of hands and she was so helpful. Thanks Rox!

I like your game ideas. They were simple but very fun for the kids. Looks like it turned out to be a great party. Happy birthday Ty!
YOU are an AWESOME MOM!!! Those games are genius! And so smart! Where did you come up with those ideas? I had the hardest time coming up with games and those seriously are so cute and fun! I got some bubbles from Gymboree the ladies at the counter said they are awesome, but it is nice to hear it from someone else. I will have to give them a try. Your party seriously looks so fun, I will have to call you next time I am planning a kids party!
