Saturday was Luke's birthday party. We were supposed to play water games in the backyard. We bought a slip 'n' slide, a new sprinkler toys, water bombs, squirt guns, bubbles, the whole shebang! However about 10 minutes before our little party guests were to arrive it started to rain and proceeded to rain the rest of the day. I was admittedly frantic. The perfectly planned party was headed in the pooper. Frustrated and frazzled I turned to the trusty Internet to find some ideas for impromptu games. Luckily because we have two little boys we have tons of superhero stuff. I whipped out all our costumes and capes so everyone could play dress up. We played Superheroes vs. Villains dodge ball. Then we played pin Spiderman on his web, and finally Daddy and Uncle Elvin were great sports and pretended to be villains for all our caped crusaders to capture. They then allowed them to tie them up with toilet paper. We had a lot of fun. Luke loved his Spiderman cake, and I was so glad it turned out so great. He had a great time. The kids were still a little bumbed that the water games were cancelled but we will play with all of that stuff all summer long. Thanks to the Ake's and Speredons for helping facilitate the party. Can't believe my little boy is almost 4.
Get Daddy!
Birthday Boy!

Audrey had a blast at the party! Thanks for inviting her!! What a cute cake, by the way! You're a good party-mom! :)
I bet you're a GREAT party mom (reading the comment above). I can imagine how frantic I would be but knowing how prepared you ALWAYS are, I'm sure you handled it much better than I would. I can't believe how old he is. I hope it was fun for you too, not only the kiddos.
love the cake! frustrating about the rain but great save!
