CALLING ALL SUPERHERO'S...
To Jace's 4th Birthday!!!!
This weekend we celebrated my baby boys birthday with a Superhero party!! It really was a blast and I think everything turned out just awesome. It's funny, but no matter what you have at your party, it's the PEOPLE who make it great- thank you to EVERYONE who took time out of their saturday to make my Jace feel so special. :)
I will save you the whole sob story about how Jordan left me thursday morning for St. Louis and returned THIRTY MINUTES before party STARTING TIME on saturday...but it did happen, so I thought it should at least be noted. :)
Anywhooooo..... mom helped me make this "cityscape" as we called it, to add a bit of "hero" feel to the party. We just knew some little boy (named Jace) was going to use it as a run through banner and rip it to shreds, but it survived and I was thrilled! :)
Everyone wore their Superhero outfits and look soooooo cute!!! Don't mind the fact that Jace is wearing his 3T batman jammies that are kind of pilled up and holey... :)
The party went great! We played pin the "S" on Superman...
And THIS was my FAVORITE part...
Jordan let me put paint all over his face and the kids called him "The Joker"!!! It was AWESOME and I know that not just any daddy would have done it... he was a great sport and ended up making the whole party! Well, except for a few little kiddos who had bad dreams because of him... and I quote what Hudson Jacobus (2 yrs) told his dad at bedtime that night , "Jace's daddy is a scary man..."! Poor thing! :)
All the kids grabbed water guns and chased The Joker around just screaming and squirting away!
They jumped on the trampoline...
They slid down the waterslide...
We all ate cake (which I WISH I could claim that I made, but I was a bum of a mom and paid someone else to, and I'm pretty sure that I will do the same from now on) :) ...
And then I TRIED to get 20 kids in one shot and everyone smiling, and this is what I got... :)
And let me tell you, we were EXHAUSTED at the end of the day! All of this would not have been possible if not for Mamma and Daddy Mike, and their AWESOME front yard that they turned in to a complete adventure park! :) THANK YOU for everything!!!
Thanks again to all the little Superhero's who partied with us, and their parents of course. :)

oh. my. gosh. I JUST sent someone a link TODAY to this blog showing a super hero party with the background and stuff... but I can't believe you actually DID it!!! That background is amazing. And the pin the S on the cape... fantastic. Plus a trampoline and a slide. Best B-Day of all time. You've set yourself a standard, my friend.

you are amazing katie~ TOO CUTE
So cute! One day I'll need you to do my kids birthday parties. :)
Oh, how I wish we could've been there!!! Looks like all the kiddos had such a great time! You are SUPER-MOM for pulling off such a fun party for your boy. Loved all of it! xoxo
Addi COULD actually be laughing in that picture...we'll say that she's laughing & not throwing a complete fit :)
Can u send me a "Save the Date" for your next party? I want to make CERTAIN that we come for a visit that weekend!! You really know how to host a SUPER party!!!
I can't believe I forgot to give Jordan an honorable mention, for dressing up as Joker and letting Katie paint your face! I guess that will teach you not to leave town before a birthday party?!?! Jordan, you are a SUPER dad and I'm NOT joking! ;)
What a super cool party!
can I ask what you made your cityscape out of? thanks!
