Tal's Birthday


His expressions says it all!


Yep that's right - it's reversible!!



I have been promising I would post so - here I go. Tal had his fourth birthday in October! It was great fun - he has been asking for a "Batman, Superman and Spiderman" birthday party since his birthday last year so I scoured the internet and found some great ideas for a superhero training camp birthday party (thank you Google!). We had the kids start with a moon-bounce moonlighting as an anti-gravitational chamber. Next, they used super soakers to shoot "bad-guys" (aka Mc-Donalds toys) off of the deck balcony. Then, with Andy's help they had to pass fitness training - this was an obstacle course Andy set up - they slid down a slide, under a rope, through a tunnel and up a ladder to rescue one of Naomi's dolls - it was a huge hit. Finally, they graduated - they each got a super-hero cape (it started out as a great idea but Tal's was the only one I got completely finished) and a can of silly-string. Why the silly-string you ask? Because "Monster Daddy" (aka Andy) was coming and all the super-hero's had to use their weapons to stop him! Andy was a pretty good sport. Anyway, it was fun - probably the last "fun" party I throw for a while - so I hope Tal enjoyed it :)










Setting up for target practice - these water guns were bigger than most of the kids :)





Part of the obstacle course. I tried it and couldn't get through that tunnel :)







Okay so not the most creative cake ever. Basically we just through some superhero toys on top!








Silly String!






Isn't she the cutest superhero?







I told you Andy was a good sport - these guys were serious :)






All the newly graduated super-heros!!






This is hard work!



Presents! Tal really liked this part!
