For Coles 5th Birthday party, we decided to have a Super Hero Party. Not just any super hero party, but one that trains little boys to become future super heroes. Here is the group of warriors just before we started their training.
Mia made the awesome banner with crayons. She was my assistant during the whole party. And little Luke was babysat by Geneva (thanks, friend).
Before we began, the boys had to pick their super hero name. Cole decided on Wii Man. We had other names such as T-Rex, Lightning boy, Toot man, Captain Underpants, and Jake the Super Snake, to name a few.
Their first challenge was to practice their aiming and shooting skills. They had to use a balloon pump to blow up a balloon, let it go, and hope that it lands in the target - which was masking tape on the carpet. The Red team won.
Next up was the obstacle course. The kids first had to fill a cup with water (a cup with tiny holes poked in the sides), hold it over their heads and run down the sidewalk to dump the water in another bucket. A perfect day for a water game. It was 110 degrees outside.

Then they had to jump through a hopscotch course and jump over a few objects. The last part was the challenge of riding a superhero mobile around orange cones.
And finally race to the finish line. They all earned their capes.
Time for presents. Cole loved the gifts his friends gave him.
We love Costco cakes, and since they don't make a superhero one, we decided to go with the soccer cake. Cole loves soccer as well, and the cake was wonderful.
Happy Birthday Wii Man.

Cole, It looks like you had a great time at your party. Wish I could have been there. Mis you buddy.
That party looks like a lot of fun. What a great idea. Make sure to wish the Wii Man a happy birthday from us. I can't believe he is already 5 years old.
Your new kitchen still looks really big. Much bigger than mine. The back yard looks great as well. When are you going to post some more pictures of your new house?
Ummm, let me guess, my son was "toot man"! Gotta love boys!
That is an awesome party idea! I might have to steal that someday. I definitely think Captain underpants is the coolest name.
Really cute Melissa! What a mom!
