But, we did take some photos of the games we played after the fact.
Because of our house purge, we had some huge cardboard pieces lying around waiting to be recycled. So before we hauled them away, we got some good use out of them.
We made a bean bag game, with matchbox cars for prizes (there's a little flap on the bottom), and we made a reversible race track/bunko car game.
The kids had a ton of fun with the cardboard games, and then we ended with a giant balloon pop. Where we tied around 75 balloons to kids ankles and they ran around popping them and retrieving the starburst candy inside.
It was a lot of work for the kids to pop the balloons, because Jonathan and I only blew up the balloons a little (not wanting it to be too easy). They ended up resorting to stabbing their balloons with the sharp edges of their race cars and sitting on them. So they worked off the candy they won!
Then we had cake---a Spiderman DQ cake that looked like it was supposed to look!
It was a pretty fun birthday and a nice end to the week!
Ezra really liked his superhero LEGO! Thanks, Mimi and Papa!
This LEGO car was from one of this friends and he put it together all by himself after the party!
You can see below that we stapled some 1x2's (normally for canvas building) on the back of the cardboard for racing "tracks". The black things are styrofoam like pipe coverings (forget the name) that we found abandoned in the park nearby. We cut them into pieces and glued them to the cardboard, and they worked really well! They are just the right material for bouncing cars all around.

Happy Birthday, Ezra! from Aunt Alissa & Uncle Andrew
Sounds like the party turned out wonderfully.
Sounds like a super cool party. Nice games. Glad your week had a happy ending!
We have the Marion Four for 3 days and I was just showing them these photos, and Violet said, "We have to do that again!" Cute photos!
