Spiderman Party!














For Gabe's birthday party we had a Spiderman theme. All of the kids got a Spiderman mask as they came in and we watched an episode of Spiderman and friends. We then played musical chairs with some spiderwebs I printed out and played the Spiderman theme song as the kids went around. We used sticky hands as "webs" to catch balloons with candy inside. Then we read a Spiderman story and opened presents. We had cake and ice cream. For his cupcakes I used a Red Velvet cake mix and a white cake mix that I added blue food coloring to and swirled them together. I piped some chocolate spiderwebs to put on top. I think they turned out really cute. After cake and ice cream we played duck, duck, goose. Instead of duck, duck, goose we said Spiderman, Spiderman, Green Goblin. And a round of Spiderman says (Simon Says). I think that everyone had a good time. We had a total of 12 kids including ours and I was a little worried going in to it but it turned out great!

How strong are you?

Today I was showing off my muscles (or lack thereof) to my kids. Gabe said, "daddy is stronger. Yep, that is because boys are suppose to protect the girls.". Now if he would only put that into practice when it comes to his little sister!
