Super Mario(Kaeden) throws a party

a little Super Mario moustache fun...a "SUPER" Mario thanks to:

LISA and SHELBY for making the unbelievable cupcakes (and a shout-out to Jenien who was involved in the initial creative vision)

SAM at Tommy-K play for her excellent moustache cutting and party hosting skills.

SHELBY for looking after Isaac so his parents could enjoy a night out and taking him throughout the huge play structure!

SIMON for helping me with a photo-shop crisis at VERY short notice.

to EVERYONE for being good sports with the moustache pictures!

the secret project...

a little duct tape 

and a whole lot of Tin Foil

and we have a Robotic Extravaganza

for Mr. Kaeden and his 6th Birthday

the invitation

I structured it like a booklet

first page had the party info

then our annual interview

the last page is more pictures from our 

robot and friends photo shoot

today was the party

and after 3 rolls of tin foil &

any "robot item" I could find

which was not easy

we were ready

my in-laws make AWESOME nuts and bolts

and what's a robot party without nuts and bolts

and Shelby and I made cd's of Kaeden's favourite music

(a intersting mix of AC/DC, Barenaked Ladies, Lady GaGa and Jack Johnson)

ummm, rock em sock em

a robot party must

(and a huge hit)my sister (& Lawrence & of course the adorable Maks)

made these unbelievable robot sugar cookies

people thought these were bought

our craft was robot making

and the game was a robot making relay

but as the pictures had other children

(not ones that I have permission to post)

you will have to believe me that it

went over really well

two teams ran through the house to find

robot parts (different size boxes covered in tin foil)

come back, assemble them and then decorate them

both teams did a great job and seemed to have a great time

I am embarrassed to say that

I FORGOT about a cake until 

last night - oops

but Sobey's makes a decent cake

and I had my tin robots 

added sparklers and

tada...a perfect cake for the occasion

a little musical chairs and a robot dance off

topped off the night.
