For Radley's third birthday, we did a construction theme. Each child was given a hardhat upon arriving and then they were free to play in the bounce house, the tapped off construction zone filled with construction equpipment and tools, or a coloring station with Bob the Builder and Handy Manny pages. Next we played Dump Truck Rock Toss, where the kids threw bean bags ("rocks") into a dumptruck and them we played Pin the Dirt on the Front Loader. Then we ate. Robert grilled hamburgers and hotdogs and we had varrious other dishes, including Ants on a Log and Dirt Cake (inside one of Radley's dump trucks). Radley had informed me months before his birthday that he wanted cupcakes, not a cake. So I made cupcakes but let the kids decorrate them with grass (green died coconut), dirt (crushed graham crakers and oreos), rocks (chocolate chunks), and worms (gummie worms). Radley had his own giant cupcake (pictured below). He then oppened his presents and got a ton of great stuff and the next day he helped me fill a box with toys to give away since he had gotten so many toys.
There were 17 adults, 14 kids, and 6 babies at his party!
I can't believe he is three. When I look at him, he is all boy... the baby has dissapeared. I miss that, but I am excited to see what the next stage brings.
