Will's Birthday!

We had Will's birthday party on Saturday.  It was his FIRST party to have friends over.  I meant to do it last year, but the weeks totally got away from me.  We had 3 of is friends from school over for a couple hours and they had a blast.  We played 4 games of "Joker's Playhouse" - a board game of superheros.  That literally filled up the first hour of the party.  (I was a little worried because I didn't have a lot planned out.)  They were all big superhero fans and all wanted to keep playing so that they could each be a different superhero. :)

Then we decorated little wooden treasure boxes that I picked up for the party.  We used markers, stickers and jewels.  They played in Will's room for 15 minutes, during which time they took out an electric fan.  Then we had donut holes, fruit, kettle corn, and ice cream. Honestly, I think the boys were quieter overall than the girls at Katie's party!

That blaze of fire is made up of the donut holes.

After Will's party we headed up to a friend's house to go swimming and visit.  It drastically had cooled off so weren't sure how the swimming would go - but their pool is heated and so it was warmer in the water than out.  The kids obviously had a blast - both went down the slide AND the diving board - even without goggles!
