Eensie couldn't quite decide on a theme for his birthday party so we did a little bit of everything he likes! He had Batman decorations, an iTouch cake, water games, dry games, and even a little bit of soccer! He invited 12 of his closest friends to come over after school last Wednesday (we had an early out day!). When the children first arrived it was utter chaos...El's furniture flipped over, nerf guns firing away, and children screaming! I was a little worried, wondering how I would ever make it through two hours! I tried so hard not to use my "teacher voice", but I finally could resist no longer!! Once the food was served, the kids calmed down and then we headed outside to play games! Eens was bound determined to play the ball toss game! I divided the kids up and one group played the ball toss while the other group had to drop the clothespin into the bottle (much harder than I remember!)! I was so thankful that Ellie had asked one of her best friends to come and help - they each took over one game!! After everyone had a turn, we played the next game which was ice cube rescue. I filled a large bucket with water and put ice cubes into it. Four children at a time were given chopsticks and they had to try to get the ice out of the water! The kids really enjoyed this game - they were so serious! After that, we played splat, which was a simple water balloon game where the kids had to throw a water balloon, trace the "splat", write their name, and in the end we could see who threw the longest!! Finally, we played Wet Head (super cute game that I bought in Hong Kong) and pass the water balloon!! I did want the kids to have some free time, so towards the end of the party I set out an ice cream sundae "bar" and then they played! I'm pretty sure it was a successful party, as I have had a few of the children ask me if they can come back over and play some games!!
Eensie has already built all of the Legos that he received for his birthday and we have played the games he got over and over!! He loves his Playmobile Egyptian pyramid and playsets, they have provided several hours of entertainment for all three munchkins! His favorite gift was Lilo's teddy bear! He loves this mint green colored bear with all his heart. He was devastated yesterday when Coop "accidentally" threw it into the toilet (no worries, mommy gave it a really good bath!). I realize now that I probably should have bought an extra one, just in case!!
Happy 6th Birthday Eens!!! We love you!!
