That special time of year

There comes a time every year that is so magical that I absolutely love it!
Im not talking about Christmas, I am undoubtedly a NERD! (notice all caps) but I absolutely love when my son's birthday comes around.
ITS my favorite. Don't get me wrong I love the birth of baby Jesus and celebrating when he rose, but I absolutely love planning and executing my son's birthday!

It was such a special day, the day I met him even threw exhaustion and drugs I knew he was a keeper.
I remember that I never really got to have great thought out birthday parties each year as  a child , and that I LOVE doing it for him.
So what do I have up my sleeve for his birthday party. HE is turning the big 4!
Well last year we did PIRATES! and boy was it a hit. We went to the local gymnastics center and everyone walked to trampoline plank into foam blocks, then ziplined down into another set of foam blocks, made their own swords, and thoroughly had an awesome time. If I do say so myself.
I was torn this year between two categories so I went to the one who would know best...
Little man! and he chose the following:
duh duh duh daaaaaaa
SUPERHERO's Party. There is something about putting on his spiderman/superman/iron man/transformer costumes that just lights him up. And even though they don't have guns little man is always trying to incorporate his ray gun. Which scares off the monsters!

But this is not just any super hero party! This one will be equipped with capes and mask and a super hero training camp. Plus everyone will get their own superhero card (with their picture in a super hero pose). HOW AWESOME!

So I am currently working on this and came across this site SEWPLAINJANE.com where they sell custom capes for Kids 

 

How flipping adorable. and I thought in light of goodie bags what kid wouldnt want their own super hero cape! So I priced it and guess what? TOTALLY Cheaper than goodie bags! I am so stoaked!

 

Next step is to line up the party place, then INVITATIONs, and a guest list, then after that the ideal cake for such a big boy...he is turning 4 and that is huge to him. He is officially a big little boy. I have an idea of what I want and I cant wait to share with you guys until then....
