We had Jake's birthday party last weekend. I sent out the invitations late, and started party planning even later. If you ever invite a handful of little boys over for a party and have no idea what you are going to do with them, well I have two words for you: Water. Balloons.
A large sized cooler full to be exact.
And a target that daddy staple gunned together thirty minutes before the door bell started ringing.
Those handful of boys - they had a blast.
Between the my son's and my husband's birthdays, we had an ice cream cake, a chocolate cake, cup cakes and worms in dirt. So for the party I decided I would let the kids make their own treats and I set up an ice cream sundae bar for them. I chose six delicious toppings and they did the rest. I should have taken pictures of their creations, but they disappeared too quickly. You should have seen them though. Little plastic bowls over flowing with vanilla ice cream, gummie bars, skor bits, marshmallows, chocolate sauce and more. Oh how I miss the days when my body (and thighs) could handle all that sugar!
Happy birthday boys. I hope you enjoyed your birthday month.
Water balloons are a good idea to keep the boys occupied. I always spend the most time planning the games when my son’s birthday is near because the games make a party a success.
