Cole's "Buddy Club" Birthday Party
Today was Cole's birthday party with his best friends. They call themselves the buddy club and they are all very sweet very nice boys. We started out with Pizza and drinks and then went outside to do the Obstacle course. This was a big hit! We had a chalk track with wooden blocks and cardboard cars that they had to crush like a monster truck, with monster feet walkers. Then the boys played a game of "Hot Monster Truck" (like hot potato) so that the helpers could remove the obstacle course items. Then we got Cole's RC truck out and the boys all got a turn to drive the truck around and generally have a good time on the back hill and running around. After that, we came inside to open gifts. Cole was very happy with his presents and the boys were all very excited! Then came cake and ice cream. I must say I am very proud of my cake. The last post showed Grandma's cake and I did my cake similar but a little different. The parents that came thought the cake was totally cool! I was happy, Cole was happy, and his friends were happy! I think the parents just really appreciate the work that went into the things we put together, so yay! Then after the cake and ice cream the boys got to race their monster trucks they got in their goodie bags and then were able to paint the leftover white cars that we had used for the obstacle course! Thanks to Spencer, who made all the cars, they were a giant hit! I think that was the favorite part of the obstacle course! So a good day. I am exhausted but happy everything went well! I think this was probably the least expensive party we have done so far! Yay!

Good job! Sounds like everyone had a great time :)

I think most people appreciate the effort vs. just doing a 'canned party' kind of thing.

Happy Birthday again, Cole!

That cake is awesome, by the way. Connor's not even into Monster Trucks, but that's such a fun cake, maybe I'll copy you for next year ;)

It was actually very fun to make and it was the perfect size for a small group! Just a 9 x 13 and a little pound cake!
The Monster truck that is flying over the cars is held up by half a chop stick! Whoo hoo!
Copy all you like, but I would want to see pictures! : )
Told mom about it and she said that you and I are so creative for our kids birthdays and that Connie is not at all. Weird huh? Her creativity is in other things I guess!

I'll bet she could make a really pretty mosaic of it. :)

That's great! We might have to steal the monster truck obstacle course for Patrick's birthday. Awesome cake too

Thank you! That means a lot from the guy with the super wife! AnnaMarie could probably come up with something even better! This was totally off the cuff! But since I stole your Thrift store idea, feel free to steal the obstacle course! : )
