An "Incredible" Birthday Party!

Blake has never been into watching movies UNTIL Daddy recorded "The Incredibles" this winter. It is his absolute favorite movie...and to be honest, is a pretty good movie. We have watched it numerous times too and still get a kick out of each time. His favorite character, no surprise, is Dash. He even looks like him. We have him believing he is as fast as Dash too!

So, this Saturday we hosted Blake's 4th birthday party. Blake originally wanted a Clifford birthday party, but once we saw that the Incredibles were an option, there was no other choice. And to make it even better, I found a Dash costume online that I knew would make him the happiest kid on the block. The party was so much fun. It really began on Friday afternoon when the bouncy castle arrived a day early. The boys (and Kurt and I) had a blast jumping around before the storm came. And when I say storm I mean STORM! Our yard was a swamp with a new creek running in the back. The gazebo/tent we put up about an hour before the storm started was crumbled by the crazy downpour and hail. But the bouncy castle survived!

Saturday morning was a little bit of a scramble to find alternative/non-yard activities for the 15 kiddos set to arrive at 10:30, but everything ended up to be just perfect. The kids had a blast jumping in the castle, making super hero masks, and painting. We ended up with nice sunny weather and a house-ful of wonderful children, friends, neighbors and the very special guest...Mammaw! After a few hours of playing, eating a yummy lunch and celebrating with cupcakes it was time to open presents. Blake has such generous and kind friends. A big thank you to all of them for making his day so special!

I can't believe he's turning 4 this week! Yikes where did the time go?? I'll do a Happy Birthday post when I have pinched myself...
