Peter has been planning his 'batman' party since last June. And when he wanted to invite his whole class from school, I thought, 'nobody is really going to come', so SURE! Plus we had to invite his buddies he always hangs out with in our neighborhood and a couple other friends from church. I was planning on a crowd. Maybe 15 kids. We planned a big water party in the back yard and told everyone to bring a squirt gun and swimsuit. What I didn't anticipate was that kids from his class would actually come. There were about 27+ kids at the party. (I stopped counting after a while) It was so loud and crazy, all the neighbors behind me and to the side of me pulled up a chair in their backyards to laugh at me for being so crazy.
And then more (about 5 more!) neighbor kids (that did not receive invitations) somehow made their way into my backyard.
On a slightly different note, Peter wanted a chocolate batman cake. Alas, here it is. I think it turned out pretty well, though I like the polished look of fondant, the buttercream came out pretty cool!
A partial glimpse of the chaos. (There are about 20 other kids running around the yard with super soakers.
The party favor:
Happy Birthday Peter! I hope you loved your party because you are never getting one that large again. Next year I think we will limit it only 20. (wink wink)
