ethan by his superhero poster friends...

we had ethan's friend birthday party this last saturday and it was a lot of fun! he wanted a spiderman birthday party but to make it applicable to everyone we did superheroes and i think everyone liked it! i made the kids superhero capes (11 capes, whew! that's a whole other post!) and we did three activities so they could "earn" their capes. i had little cards printed out for them and they put stickers on the activities when they finished them. they did villain bowling; we made bowling pins out of two cups taped open ends together and taped villain pictures to them, then they knocked them down! we had an obstacle course outside to test their speed...we had a slide, tunnels to crawl through, a wading pool (sans water) with balloons in it and they had to find their name on a balloon and take the balloon with them and a T to hit a ball off of. it was fun and they wanted to do it more than once, even though it was so hot! and they decorated their treat bags with superhero pictures and stars etc. when they had all finished their tasks, they got their capes (with first initial on the back) and kendall dressed up as our very own villain "the party pooper," came out, stole a present and ran outside. the kids chased him down with silly string and let him have it! so fun! then we had presents and cupcakes and juice and playtime for what time was left. whew! it was fun and i am glad we did it!

i didn't get to take many pictures during the party, because i was the facilitator...hopefully those that did will send them to me!

we were so glad that our family could come to this party as well and help out! thanks to you guys and thanks to everyone who came and for being so generous....he is one loved and blessed little boy!!!!
