Kolby chose the skating rink for his birthday party. We got there right at 5 on Fri when they opened and had the place to ourselves. Which was perfect for all these "just learning" skaters. Dad and grandpa jumped right in to offer tips.
The kids had a blast and are getting really good since they have skated all of 3 times in their lives. (When you live in the country off dirt roads not much pavement to practice on. ) So much so that once all their friends got there neither one would hold my hand anymore...sob
Kolby wanted a "Cars" theme party and picked out this cake, he was so excited when he saw it. ( the nice bakery in town made in exchange for money ;)
We had pizza pop and then cake. (do we know how to feed kids healthy food or what?) The pics are a little dark because the kids wanted the lights out for the singing/blowing of candles part.
He had a lot of help with the candle blowing but didn't mind in the least.
It took me awhile to learn that kids are entertained by simple and easy. You don't have to go to tons of trouble for them to have fun. I bought packages of punch balloons (those balloons with a big rubber band attached) from the dollar store and it was a hit (get it a hit,bahaaa) You might not be able to tell but the photo below is of the above mentioned kids using Dewey as their target, much screaming and laughing by all.
Kolbys actual birthday was Sunday, he woke up to balloons, streamers and a big sign in his room.
I mentioned in an earlier post that Beyblades are big hit right now. Kolby got a few new ones from his party and us. There is a "official" Beyblade stadium that they usually battle in. But when you have a "creative/if you can think it I'll build it" type dad you end up with a deluxe two tiered battle field.
Two old circle sleds and some extra wood and you get happy boys.
A tradition we started a few years ago is to let the birthday person pick whatever they want for dinner and I'll make it. Along with their choice of cupcakes or a cake. For dinner Kolby chose..... Dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets, french fries, tomato soup, jello, applesauce and grapes. (I hope this is not a statement on my cooking but rather that he is a 6 year old boy) So we had it all, and he could not have happier. He picked a cake with sprinkles on it. I had remembered seeing this idea on Pinterest and did what I do best copied it. Not the exact perfection I first saw but not to bad either if I do say so.
We had him blow out candles again because this was his actual birthday and a wish is a wish take every one you can get :)
Happy birthday Kolby, we can not believe you are 6 years old. You are amaze us every day, and give the best hugs known to man. We love you!!!
