Every year I say I'm not gonna go overboard with is birthday party and every year I do!
MJ really really wanted a Superhero Themed Birthday Party and I feel it's my duty to make it for him.
Who am I kidding, I love this crap!! MJ picked his theme last Summer and I have been planning ever since.
I feel it's important to make have something at the entrance. I think it gets the kids excited as they walk up the path to the front door.
Here's the main display.
I really would love to do this for a living. How cool would it be to spend other people's money to throw a party!
MJ posing a little before the festivities start.
The phone booth we made using an appliance box. I bought the cheapest red paint I could find (Walmart). After it's painted and the windows were edged with black tape. The sign was made with letter stickers and rolled paper I found at Michael's
I LOVE this pic. McKenna really showing us her strength. Chicks ROCK!
The weights were made with PVC pipe and styrofoam painted black.
MJ flying around his fair city protecting it from villans.
Superhero buds!
The phone booth was a big hit with the kids. esp. the boys. Caleb spent most of the party in it.
Time to sing Happy Birthday to MJ. Yes, his eyes are red cuz he's been crying.
Seems like he had one melt down after another
I rolled and cut out colored fondant to make the city. I used edible black pen to make the windows.
All the kids decided they wanted to help MJ open gifts. I have free flowing birthdays. I don't have kids sit while MJ opens gifts. I think it's too hard for them and too much work for me. I just let em have at it!
These pics to don't really capture how many people were at the party. There were about 15 kids and 18-20 moms and dads. The dads were in the family watching college football. So of course Mark had to break out the beer. Then the wine came out and finally the liquor
The pics also do not show all the booze we started drinking.
Happy Birthday to my Little Monkey!
And this Ladies and Gentlemen is why I drink:)
