Well after scouring Pinterest for Pinspiration for Adam I decided on an Angry Birds 'Bird-day' Party for him. He's really been into Angry Birds lately and I thought it would be something really cool. Now one thing I have to say is that Pinterest has kind of turned me into a "Hard-core" mom. I'm not saying this to brag. I almost say it in disgust. I used to scoff when my sister cut cheese with a cookie cutter in a flower shape for her daughters' tea party. "You're so hard-core", I would say with my nose upturned and eyes rolling. Well... I've joined the group. Brittney definitely pointed that out to me at the party.... more than once :)
We started the party out with some colouring pages (Angry Bird of course) and play dough... (We were going to go outside first but it was POURING RAIN!)
Then while the kids were playing we got lunch organized. Nothing crazy. Adam wanted hotdogs and macaroni salad. Bam! Done!
Blowing out the candles! Woop woop!! |
I made the cake with Brittney's help with some fondant! Turned out pretty good if I say so myself.
Adam opened his presents! He got some awesome stuff!! An Angry Birds Hot Wheels track, a practice Superman Shaving Kit, some clothes, cars, a real bow and arrow from Grandpa Lansing, a few board games, and some crafting supplies!
We had looked at this particular thing at Walmart. Aunty Brittney bought it for him. When he opened it he said "Yesss! I always wanted this" Hahaha |
I made an Angry Pig pinata but didn't stabilize a string in it to hang it... it ended up busting off so the kids just punched it apart. Hahahaha...
Then the SUN CAME OUT! So we decided to go outside and brave the weather to try out the sling shot that Dustin Expertly made! The kids loved it!! We knocked over boxes that I had wrapped in paper and drawn on to look like brick, ice, etc. with a set of colourful kickballs that we got on Amazon for a steal! I was going to paint angry bird faces on them but didn't get to it. Meh!
Adam had so much fun! And I'll admit I felt like a million bucks with all the work that I put into it. I sort of get why people get hardcore sometimes. Because it sure pays off when your kid comes down in the morning and sees all your decorations and hard work and says "Wow Mom this looks AWESOME!! You are amazing!! I love all this Angry Bird stuff!!" Yea.... he's feelin' the love! It was a good day!
