Lucas's 6th Birthday Party!

For months and months Lucas has been saying that he wants a Ben Ten themed birthday party.  I am not sure why since he doesn't regularly watch that (we don't have that channel) or doesn't have but one BT themed toy (that he doesn't play with.)  But he had it in his mind and stayed with it.  At one point I thought it woud be fun to hire a magician to come to our house.  When I ran it past Lucas he said it was fine, but could we have BT plates?  I realized that Lucas is pretty easy going and would enjoy anything, so I decided to just have a backyard party at our house.  Pin the tail on the donkey type party.  If he will like anything, why spend $250 on a magician?  Then my friend told me I was crazy to have 20+ kids at my house, so we decided on a park party.  We have done park parties since he was 2yrs old, so it made sense and we all got excited!  But I had to work in the theme.  So we planned on having everyone hunt for aliens, since BT is an alien hunter.

When the guests arrived, they received this:

Once they went on the hunt and captured the two aliens and the four gold coins, they got an ice cream pass!  Let the hunt begin!

It worked out pretty well.  Was enough to get them excited, and then they just played for an hour...

Until it was time to sing the happy birthday song!  Since we planned on having ice cream, I just took one cupcake for Lucas's candle...

After that we screamed, "GO GET SOME ICE CREAM!"

After the ice cream party, there was a little more playing...

It was a SUPER DUPER GREAT birthday party!  We got lucky with a cool, sunny spring day and everything went as planned.  HAPPY 6TH BIRTHDAY LUCAS B!!!

Buddies

Yesterday we had t-ball practice and then pizza afterwards with Griffin. 

And today we let Lucas E. tag along to Target with us. L's 6th birthday party is this wknd and we had some last minute items to grab.  The boys were goofballs, as usual...

Classroom Birthday Celebration

Here is a video of all the children in the lunch room singing to him.  His teacher, Mrs. T, is the one introducing him.  Griffin, his best bud, is obviously excited for him! : )  Lucas looks like he is about to throw up!  

KK for Donuts

Lucas wants to take donuts to his class tomorrow to celebrate his birthday.  So of course we had to have one...

Kate

I was library helper this morning, which means I keep up with the kids as they go to and from the library before class starts.  Here is Lucas with "his best friend in his class that is a girl."

Tyson

I really missed Tyson while I was away!  I could talk to everyone else on the phone.  I think he was happy to have me back to.  Found him on my pillow tonight...

Easter and Birthday Party with Komorners

Holly and Adam were so nice to invite us over for Easter Dinner.  We certainly wouldn't have done anything special on our own!  We even dyed more eggs.  And, to my surprise, Holly had made me a bday cake!  Lucas and I blew out the candles together. Thank you Holly and Adam!!!

Easter

Jeff and I almost stayed in bed this morning while the kids looked at their baskets!  So wiped out after the past two weeks, including the 8+ hour car ride home yesterday.  But we got up...
