Superhero Party....Rome turns 3!!!

 Rome is really into superhero's right now so for his 3rd bday this year we decided to do a a superhero themed birthday party!! Every year I say I'm gonna go super easy and not throw a huge party but haha ya that never happens. I can't help myself. I LOVE parties! It's a great excuse to have everyone over and spend time together.  I also enjoy preparing for them and making cute things. I think Rome had just as much fun with all the preparations this year as I did! He had fun trying on the masks and tasting the "superade" and pointing to all the party favor bags and saying who he thought it belonged to. I think his favorite thing to help with was filling the piniata with candy! We had to taste it to make sure it was ok :)  Here are some pics of the fun things I made and some from his party!

 

Party favor bags! Just used brown paper sacks and colored cardstock paper!

Silly string "Spider Web" game was a huge hit even for the adults! I got the paper covers online somewhere and printed them off and taped them on. (Sorry can't remember where) 

 

 Made masks for all the kiddos out of felt and glued them with a hot glue gun

 

Superade drink!! Just bought small gatorade bottles and bought scrapbook paper and printed superade on it and cut it to the right size and taped to bottle! Super fun and super easy! 

 

 

Power Puffs!! Bought 2 huge bags of cheeto puffs and seperated into ziplock bags then printed "power puffs" on scrapbook paper and cut and stapled to bags!

 

Oreo cookie pops!! Soooo yummy!

Everyone met up at our house first and we ate and chatted!

 

 

 

 

After we ate we headed to the park in our neighborhood for our silly string game and the piniata. I brought balloons filled with helium and stuck the strings in the grass so the kids could shoot at them but of course it was way more fun shooting at each other lol ! And the adults couldn't help but join in on the fun! Want something fun to do at a party?!?! This is it my friends! Nothing more enjoyable than watching my hubby and sister chase each other around shooting each other hehe! I swear Jess and Keegs are always at it! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every party has to have a piniata

 

 

Attempted to get a pic of all the kiddos! This was the best we could do and some of us mom's had to hold our children to get them to stay haha

Opening presents

After the party and after everyone had left I let Rome stay

up extra late to play with all of his fun new toys!
