Today he is 5!!!

Today is the big day! Although Saturday might of felt more like it with his party. We all had lots of fun. A couple of hours into it we were exhausted. The kids were all great, just very busy.

When I was checking out bounce houses online Carson said this bounce house looked like Batman's castle. Done...that is our theme.

The bounce house is huge!! Pictures online don't even compare to how big it is.






I mentioned to Brian a week or so ago that I wanted a Batman logo to go on the bounce house. Not really following through with it I then mentioned it to Brian Saturday morning. This is what he came up with. It's perfect!!




After some bouncing we went inside to play games.
Instead of duck, duck, goose we play chicken, chicken, wiggle. When you run around the circle trying not to get tagged you have to wiggle. The kids loved it.



The kids were all "Batman" and I was informed (by Carson) that I was "Joker". They all had to keep the balloons off the ground or I would take them.
Then we played musical chairs. This was fun too.



Only four left. I kept hoping that Pheobe would win...it's a girl thing. The last two were Mason and Theron. Mason ended up winning.





Presents!!! They were very excited to open the presents. Carson got Toy Story, Legos, lots of Spiderman stuff, Hotwheels, Ironman, bow and arrow set (I told a friend he likes weapons. She really came through with something new.), RC 4 wheeler, clothes, and amazing science.
Mason had a more difficult time than Carson waiting until the friends went home before opening boxes.

Logan N, Matthew L, Carson, Madelyn P, Michael M, Rion N, Trinity H, Aubrey P, Grace B, Kylie R, Phoebe D, and Theron S in front. Near the end of the party 4 more friends/neighbors (Ben P, Jackson P, Nichol R, and Isabella R) came over. They weren't able to be here for the party so they stayed later to play.


Pinata!! There is this new kind of pinata that everyone takes hold of a streamer and they all pull at once. Only one of the streamers is connected to the trap door. So know one really knows who opens the pinata. Much safer. As exciting? I'm not sure.
The picture below looks like Batman is flying.





Happy Birthday Carson!!! I hope you had a great 5th birthday! We love you!!!
