We had giant, inflatable Batman mallets blown up and ready for each guest.
Then of course, Clyde and I made these cupcakes. The action figures doubled as his b-day present from Mom and Dad. I hope you can tell that Silver Surfer is hovering over the cupcakes! A flying superhero only requires tape and thread, but the boys were very impressed. :)
So, I was really bummed that I didn't have time to set up games...but no worries! These superheros don't need games! They literally fought (and with good attitudes, I might add!) FOREVER! They wrestled and clobbered and wrestled and clobbered.
The boys (and Iris) then inhaled the cup cakes and moved downstairs to open presents. But right after the first present was open, Super-Villain returned to steal presents. In my infinite wisdom, I gave each boy a can of silly string! I am so smart, I know! So after they soaked Stephen in silly string they then covered the entire basement floor with it!
When Lucy returned from a weekend getaway at Grandma's, she was very relieved to find all of her belongings intact.
Even though it was a messy, loud, assault-on-the-senses kind of day, I'm thrilled we did it. And Clyde is too!
how fun!!!!
