Matt's Party

Matt had a birthday party this past Saturday. The theme was anything Super Heroes. He couldn't decide on which one so we went with all of them. It actually made it much easier for me. So, we had Batman invitations, Spiderman napkins, Transformer cupcakes, and the party favors were Incredible Hulk and Ironman. Initially Matt only wanted boys at his party, but I told him that only one would come because the other boy in his primary class was out of town. So, we decided to invite the girls from his class, too. We ended up with six kids--4 boys and 2 girls. We had planned on doing all the games and activities outside but it was raining. It never rains during the day here. So, we had to adjust our plans and bring everything inside.

We had a Mr. Freeze (from Batman) dance game. The kids had to dance around while the music played and then freeze when it stopped. Eventually it led to jumping on the couch.

We built a spiderweb out of yarn so the kids could pretend to be Spiderman. This was a big hit. We had built one outside the day before. We left the outside one up because the boys like playing in it.

We also did an obstacle course so they could use their "super powers". Our other activities included a candy hunt using their "xray vision", getting super hero tattoos, and decorating their bags. I think the kids had fun. They all know each other really well, so they have a good time together.
