Wizards Finale Party

Like many of the kids her age, Kendra has been a big fan of the show Wizards of Waverly Place for years.  The show's series finale was set to air, and we decided it was an event worthy of a party!  Kendra invited two of her equally "Wizards-crazy" friends over for the big event!

We started the evening with a trip to Subway for dinner--because the Russos' business is the Waverly Sub Station, of course!  I had awesome coupons for BOGOs on 6 inch subs, so the four of us ate like queens for cheapo!  :-)  Sorry, forgot to take pics.

The girls had a little time before the Big Event, so they went in Kendra's room and played with their American Girls while pretending to cast spells and be wizards.  Of course, there was also big talk about the show...who was going to become the family wizard???  Here were their guesses:

Kendra:  either all of them, or none of them
R:  either all of them, or none of them
H:  Alex (played by Selena Gomez)

While the girls were busy casting spells, I was in the kitchen trying out something I found on Pinterest...making brownies in the waffle maker.  I dubbed them "Magic Brownies" in honor of the evening.

Yeah.  Not so magical.  It was a big-time FAIL.  They cooked alright, but getting them out was pretty impossible.  And yes, I used cooking spray (see pic!).  I think the batter is just not dense enough to have them hold--brownies by nature are more crumbly than waffles.  The site in which I found the idea suggested a recipe for brownies--maybe those would work, but these were just the good ole box variety and they didn't.  BUT, we didn't let that stop us, because though they weren't whole pieces, we got brownie crumbles!  And they were pretty yummy on top of ice cream (but I'm not wasting another box of brownies on this method again!)

Kendra actually passed on brownie crumbles and went with chocolate syrup and sprinkles instead

Then...

IT WAS TIME.  :-)  They were all so dang excited...and their excitement fed off of each other. 

They LOVE Selena!

Turns out, H was right--Alex was the named family wizard!  But there were many plot twists and it didn't seem like it would go that way for a while!

Kendra had the idea to set up a Potion Station, and they did that after the show was over.  They concocted some interesting stuff---and actually drank them!  (I think the key to success is that nobody used the milk!)

The girls named their potions...

Kendra's was the Emotion Potion (makes you happy and loopy!)
R's was Dog's Breath (allows you to talk to dogs!)
H's was Sleepy Potion (makes you tired!)

They all tried each other's potions and thought they were all delicious.  I declined.  :-)

The girls were thrilled with the show and had a great time with each other!  What a fun night!
