Today was a very busy day but in the end was Xander's birthday party. Mom finished making the birthday cake a half hour before the party started. We got all set up early because Mom had such a busy day.
Once the kids started arriving Xander was so excited. Dad was able to be at this party and this was a first for Dad at the kids birthday parties. Xander had 3 friends come, Brayden Olsen, Aaron Witt and Tati Bartschi. They were all dressed up too!
Each kid got an eye patch and a flame bandana for the heads. The party started with pizza for everyone to eat. Then they played pin the pirate chest on the map. The kids did pretty well with this. Then we had what the kids all call their favorite part, a balloon sword fight. Mom looked up online how to make balloon swords and made about 20 of them. The kids grabbed what they wanted and started wacking away. There was balloons everywhere and screaming kids to go along with it.
The each of Xander's friend brought him a gift and so he opened up all of his presents. They were all good sports getting photos for Mom. After the presents was time for the cake. They kids loved the cake and really thought it was awesome eating up all their own pirates. Most of them just played with them rather than eat them but that was okay.
It was now time for the pinata. Dad was in charge of this. All he could find for the kids to use was a metal pipe. So Mom had rules for this so no kids would get hurt. All the kids lined up against a wall while the other kids took a turn hitting. We had Staci go last and she still couldn't crack it open. So it was up to Dad. Mom had to get this on video. Well Dad hit it so hard that the candy went shooting against the wall and behind the couch. Then when the kids were grabbing their candy there was shattered candy on the ground. Xander had grabbed a sucker but the candy part was missing. That was the candy on the ground. Dad hit the pinata so hard that he shattered a few pieces of candy. Xander didn't even notice because the stick was still in the wrapper with a few holes in the top of the wrapper where the candy shot out. It was kind of crazy! The kids then played sword fighting until their parents came to pick them up. He did have a few friends that weren't able to come but they got him presents anyways, which was very nice of them.
After the party, Xander told Mom that it was the best party ever. He really had a good time. Then once we got a few things cleaned up we headed to The Home Depot and got the sheet rock to finish the girls room downstairs. YEAH!!!
