Superheroes to the Rescue!!!

Carson is 4!!! Yesterday was his birthday, and Saturday (after his soccer game below) was his superhero party! He loved it, and I think the other kids had a lot of fun as well. It was really fun to plan too! First while everyone arrived we colored pictures of bad guys. We went outside to test if everyone was a true superhero. So first we lit candles and they had to shoot out the flame with a squirt bottle. Then they had to show off their superhero moves while popping the bubbles from the bubble machine. After that we decorated their superhero transportation (paper airplanes) and flew those around for a while. They had proven they were true superheroes, so they were each awarded their own mask and cape. We taped their bad guys up to the garage and they got to shoot them with silly string. Dillon went inside to dress up as a bad guy while I explained we needed to find the bad guy responsible for the missing cupcakes. The only way to get the cupcakes was by tickling him. Dillon walked out throwing ice cubes at them all and they chased him down to get the cupcakes. Then we ate those and ice cream and opened presents! Carson loved it.
I can’t believe my boy is 4! We sure love our Carson. He’s full of life and a joy to be around. Man, I feel old now. His famous lines opening presents, “I never had this before!” and yesterday morning he said, “It’s my birthday again? This is the best birthday I ever had!”
