Belated much?

So, I was browsing through my posts the other day and realized that although I did wish Jack a happy birthday back at the beginning of December, I never did an actual post about his party.

What a horrible mother I am; but I do have my excuses: 1. his birthday party was rescheduled a couple of times do to his having strep throat 2. his birthday is in December when there are five million other things going on, and 3. I was in the midst of putting together a ton of Christmas cards for my clients – I was amazed I even got mine out this year.

But those are all just excuses. Truth is, I just completely forgot to do one. Better late than never though…

Jack really wanted to have a Monster’s vs. Aliens birthday party this year. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything like that in the 10 different party stores I went in to. I could have ordered it, but again, I’m a horrible mother and procrastinated and just did not have the time to get everything in without paying a small fortune in express shipping and handling fees.

Amazingly, his daddy somehow talked him into having a Marvel Superhero birthday party (a theme I am sure that daddy himself would love to have at his own party – comic book geek – lol).  

All the kids in attendance were provided with masks.

Even Beau got his own mask, although he had a little trouble getting it on the right way.

But after a lot of help, Beau WAS Spiderman.

Overall, despite Jack’s still being a little puny, despite it not being a Monster’s vs. Aliens birthday party, Jack still had a wonderful time. It’s a toss up as to whether he enjoyed his gifts more or seeing so many friends and family members at his house to celebrate his special day. Oh who am I kidding? The boy is five – of course he enjoyed his gifts more : )
