A Superhero Party

This is way over due since it’s been a month after his birthday but life has been way too busy lately.

Josh was really excited for his birthday this year. Usually after Julia’s party he starts telling me everything he wants for his birthday party.

This year his choice was to have a superman party. He is really into superhero stuff right now thanks to Megamind and the Incredibles.

I usually get into the mood of planning his party after I make his invitation, so here you have it.

 He was so excited the morning of his birthday that he woke up at 6 am. Then daddy made him some pancakes and by 7:30 he was opening presents.

What else do you give a kid who is obsessed with trains no other than more trains. He also wanted a big boy’s scooter not the one with 3 wheels anymore because those are for babies and he is a big boy now.
 

This year Josh decided he wanted to go to Boondocks for his birthday so after some quick preparations around the house we were on our way.

Julia and Andrew were thrilled that they got to come along. We did bowling, miniature golf, their kiddie cove and of course we played some games.

I really had fun thinking about this cake. I spent a couple of nights trying to figure it out what to do and then it suddenly hit me all I had to do was to change the S on superman for a J and then accessorize the rest and Voila there you have it.

                     

                             

Here are some pictures of the decorations from that day.  I really love putting up decorations the night before so that the kids can start feeling special from the moment they wake up.

We played a couple of games with the cousins. I made some masks for the kids and they had to wear them as they guessed some items that I had put inside a “LEAD BOX”.  Even grandpa joined in the fun for this game

                                     

Our last game was to jump over buildings. I colored a cup and the kids had to go into the trampoline and jump over it as high as they could. All the kids had a blast on it.

                                      

   

Our last activity for the day was to break open the piñata. I really wasn’t going to have one but one of the few things that Josh requested for his birthday was a piñata so naturally y had to make one.

                                

We opened presents and had some dinner and we blow up candles after that.

Josh had a great time thanks to all of you who came to celebrate this special day with him.
