LEGO PARTY

HAPPY 8th Birthday Party DMAN !

Hope you had fun as I let this be a little more of little low key party as per other years but all the kids seem to be happy with it any how .

SO when all the kids arrived we had them just have a free play with LEGO on the table they seemed to really really enjoy this because they had others playing with them . For us when Dman plays it usually by himself .

Then we had them each build a Lego car racer . This needed alittle more of dad and moms help doing this one . When they were all done they enjoyed racing them done the hallway and were able to take their own racer home. Then we had a few relay races outside . I had build a few large Lego pieces out of boxes , plastic bowls and spray paint .Then I had bowls of 10 pieces of Lego at one table and empty bowls at the other they had to run and jump over my large home made Lego pieces then grab a straw from me pick up a piece of Lego by sucking it through the straw and carrying it to the empty bowl . Whoever got all there Lego pieces in there bowl ran to the finish line and won . It was really hard I tried before the party I was going to give them the benefit of doubt and let them only pick up half the pieces but they enjoyed the challenge and insisted on doing all . They all did well I was very proud as it was much harder then I thought it would be . We then had cake and ice cream . A Lego cake of course .... but I can take no credit on making my friend Laura came through and insisted she make it for me the day before on her birthday . It turned out great and a much better job then I could of managed I am not the best cake maker . I can bake it but icing is not my strong point . And then opened presents of course .
They snacked through out the party and played . I took a pictures of them all with my Polaroid camera so they each could take a photo home along with their goodie bags .

Love having and putting on parties. I have next years party already planned in my head . The girls as well . I even have little man Vann's party all planned too . Hubby thinks I am crazy but whatever I am the one putting in all the hard work and love hearing the kids talk about which party was their fave . Don't look forward too the day when my kids are too OLD for parties .
