Spencer just turned 6 and its been so amazing to watch him grow up! This year Spencer wanted an ARMY party! Look at our Little Solider! HE is sporting his army uniform and camo face paint, camo bandanna and dog tags.
We did some low key decorating. The Army recruiting office was AMAZING and lent us these Army Solider Cut-outs. We made a little Barracks tent with army uniforms to try on!
We did a few streamers and signs.
Got out some patriotic flags and starts. And everybody's favorite SNIPER guy!
I made some army brownies, star PB and J sandwiches, purple and green popcorn, green and yellow rice cripsie stars and fruits and veggies!
Everbody got face paint, bandannas and dog tags when they got to the party. Then we colored army pages and played dress up in the barracks.
Look at our cute Army soldiers getting ready for boot camp!
BJ was our Staff Sargent and did a boot camp with the kids....
ATTEN-TION
Up-Downs
Jumping Jacks
Marching in Place
After Boot Camp The Staff Sargent brought the kids to Target Practice
(Look at the SWEET gun we borrowed from my Visiting Teacher)
Ready.. Aim... Fire
Everyone made army paper airplanes and we had contests to see whose plane would fly the farthest. Then it was time for strength training with the Piñata!
After the Piñata we had our last game (no PICS sorry) That we called No man left behind. I hid about a 100 little army guys upstairs and the kids had to go find them. IT was amazing how thorough and fast they were! In less then 3 minutes all the army guys were found! Now if we could only get the kids to clean up that fast! :)
Birthday cake....
Spencer really helped me with his cake this year! He helped me with the dirt and grass and told me JUST where to put all the guys and tanks!
He showed all the kids which guys were shooting guys and who was gonna win! He loves playing army and being creative with where to put all the figure! :)
He told me a few times, "Mom I just really love my cake!" This year he really appreciated the party and enjoyed all the games and new friends that came!
I cant believe my baby is 6 years old. He is getting so smart, and creative. His witty attitude and insightful comments always catch me by surprise! I just love learning with him as he grows up!
Happy Birthday Spencer Boy! We all love you SO MUCH!
