Wyatt's Birthday Party was on Saturday. We put together a fabulous party in less than two weeks thanks to Pinterest, Hobby Lobby, Party City, and lots of imagination. We had Loops of Power, Captain America Crunch, and Lex Luthor's Cookie Kryptonite. There was also star shaped watermelon, bat shaped honey dew, and tattooed bananas. There was also a doughnut cake.
Showing off our Mighty Muscles
I
think this was one of the few moments that the birthday boy wore any of
his costume. He wouldn't be two if he didn't protest some part of the
party. And mommy thought a costume protest at a costume party was
fitting.
Some kids were too cool for Super School, while others showed valiant effort.
Yes.
Kevin dressed up as Superman, and his dad dressed up as Hop Along Cassidy. Karen dressed as Wonder Woman. And I dressed as Cat Woman.
The Obstacle Course
Mighty Muscles:
lifting the Styrofoam dumbbell 5 times
Wonder Woman's Lasso Toss
(no pics of this one...since the obstacle course was designed for outside, fitting it around our living areas required using every square foot. The front hallway left room for the game, but not the photographer).
Gotham City's Tunnel Crawl
Again, both Kevin and his dad had to prove that they were young tough super heroes.
Superman's Leap over a Building in a Single Bound
Wyatt's favorite part of the obstacle course was to Leap over a Building in a Single Bound. Auntie Jenny helped him soar. I think he got back in line about ten times.
Hulk's
Super
Smash
By far the most fun. Just a word of advice, cover your wall with something. The spray paint leaves black marks. But if you forget, there is nothing a Mr Clean Magic Eraser cannot fix.
We let them punch the boxes until they destroyed them. Cheap and amazing activity. Old empty shipping/diaper boxes, spray paint, yellow foam and double sided tape. I think we might have a Hulk Smash day at our house just because.
The little capes ( Batman and Superman in this pic) were made by my mom. I don't know when she sleeps, but she made one for every party guest (and a few extra). They were adorable and ensured that every guest had a costume.
Vaporize a Villian
So it wasn't supposed to rain. That is what the weather man said...until like 48 hours before the party when cold and rainy was the new official forecast. Since I already had the silly string and was looking forward to this activity, we just made it part of the obstacle course.
According to the boys, I am the coolest mom ever because they got to shoot silly string in my house. It was a lot of fun.
This is Heather...right after she missed the balloon and the doors hitting my wall instead. I laughed pretty hard. And Phil cleaned up all of the silly string, so I guess I will let his wife off the hook.
Spiderman, the Avengers, and Batman.
Jen decided on a Thor tattoo.
Zoe doesn't want to get her tattoo wet during bath time. Thankfully I have leftovers to replace the super awesome tattoo when it does wash off.
Wyatt got Spiderman. He looks at his arm a lot....I think trying to remember where he got the tattoo.
As the party ended, the kids all got their capes (from my mom) and a party bag. Everyone got a Little People DC Super Friend, a Spiderman fruit snack, an Avengers fruit snack, a Bat mask (from the first picture), and play doh. In an effort to not leave anyone out, Uncle Joshie will have a Super Hero gift bag shipped at some point before his birthday. We also saved a bag for the other set of cousins who will be visiting Greenville this week. 
A few last pictures.
Spiderman was all about the yogurt.
The Bilibo was a hit. All of the kids love it. Kaleb and Zoe loved to spin around.
Zoe's Wonder Woman costume lasted the whole party. It needs some major repair work before Halloween though. Kevin, Wyatt and I are ready to go for Halloween. Our Super Hero Family will be out and about again in a few weeks.
Wyatt is obsessed with all of his new trains. He carries Toby around with him everywhere.
Excitement is a two-year old with new toys.
Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us and those who called to wish Wyatt a Happy Birthday. He just learned to sign "thank you" so although you can't see that over the phone, we are going to try and record it.
And thanks to my mom...because without her this post would be just a boring paragraph with no pictures.
