SUPER Seven!

Ben turned severn years old a few weeks ago and to celebrate the event we hosted a "Superhero" party for some of his friends. It turned out to a fun party and I thought I'd post a few pics.

I made some simple capes for the guests...I was worried they would maybe think they were too old for such things but they all wore them and posed happily for me.

We served pizza and Superhero cupcakes...

I tried to decorate the cupcakes like the superhero symbol I created for Ben's invitations...they turned out okay...it's supposed to be a lightning bolt.

I know it's not anything like you would see on "Hostess with the Mostest" but I thought the table setting turned out pretty cute. I set the table with our theme colors red, yellow, and blue with the cupcake tower as the center piece. I put out Superhero "tricks and treats" party favor bags, and draped their capes over the chairs. I thought it looked pretty good for a someone hosting with a budget quite smaller than "Hostess".

We played several superhero games...superhero bowling, pass the kryptonite, superhero Bingo, a web toss, a Pete Parker - Clark Kent relay face off, and a fun obstacle course that the boys loved!

Ben also opened presents and loved every minute of the party! It was a fun evening but I must say that entertaining nine boys whore me out! Kudos to all you mothers out there with lots of sons!

  2. TOO cute! I am going to remember this idea for one of my boy's future birthdays. Looks like it was a good one.

  3. What a fun party! The table and decorations look so festive and Ben looks like he couldn't be happier. You are seriously Super Mom, Valerie.
