Matthew had a birthday a couple days ago! He started the day with his breakfast request of toast and bacon!
Next item of business was to open a couple of gifts -- bubblewand and Star Wars puzzle.
In the afternoon we had a Superhero birthday party. These four boys have been doing playgroup together all year and get along well, so I decided to just keep the number of guests to these kids. I made each one a felt superhero cape (each had the initial of their first name on their capes) and gave them sunglasses for masks. The boys loved them!
We played some fun superhero games. For one of the games, I hid a bunch of dollar store frogs and lizards around the yard, gave each of the boys a container, and told them that frogs and lizards were taking over and that the only way to stop them was for the superheros to find and capture them! They ran off and had a great time hunting down the evil frogs and lizards. All were captured and our yard is back to normal! The above picture shows Matthew sorting through his creatures.
For another game, I froze two little superhero figures (Batman & Green Lantern) in blocks of ice. I gave each of the boys a squirt gun and told them that Mr. Freeze had visited and frozen Batman & Green Lantern. It was up to them to free their other superhero friends. They set to work with their squirt guns and in due time Batman & Green Lantern were free again! Other activities included superhero memory games, coloring pages and superhero popsicles!
After a family dinner of hot dogs & watermelon (per Matthew's request) it was time to open the rest of the presents. Matthew is loving the Cosmo pillowpet from G&G Vawdrey and the Star Wars ship from Mark & I.
Although this remote control robot from Aunt Colleen stole the party! So fun!
We finished off the day with Batman brownies and vanilla ice cream. Yum! Happy Birthday, Matthew!
