Evrett got the "Party Bug" while helping me do lots of planning, shopping, and crafting for Colin's party. He decided awhile ago he wanted a "Bob the Builder" party. I know we've gone a little overboard with these last few parties but they are a really fun distraction AND they allow me to be creative and make things WHILE including the kids in the fun planning & crafting AND they make fun memories :)
We had to do a more generic construction theme b/c bob the builder stuff has been discontinued but we had lots of fun. The wonderful dollar stores here had some awesome hard hats and Home Depot has nail aprons for 70 cents. We invited his preschool friends and their families and a couple other families from our ward. It was a lot of crazy fun!
When one of the preschool moms offered to make Evrett's birthday cake I had no idea how awesome it would be!! Isn't it amazing! And almost equaling amazing that I didnt' have to stress over it. And it tasted so yummy! Evrett LOVED it and would go check on it every few minutes during the day :)
Everyone who came brought a side dish to share and then we grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. We played a few games, a boulder been bag toss into a dump truck, a bingo game, and {their favorite} a wrecking ball game. The kids also got to build a picture holder from scrap wood and use the drill with Ben's help. Finally we ended with a Construction cone pinata with pull caution tape!
At the very end we opened a few presents from my parents. He got a new book, a coloring board for church, a dump truck!, and a stack of new kid cups which he LOVES! plus a fun I SPY go fish game (he loves the books) and a big green bounce ball and some punch balloons. Needless to say he was in heaven :)
