We had quite the party for this dude. On Saturday, Sept 13th we had a ninja turtle party. We invited his sunbeam class and two other friends for a park party. But we had cold front hit and it was waaay to cold. So we switched it to the house last minute. It made it easier to decorate but a little crazy Friday night. We had the party early so that everyone would still have their Saturdays. We started the party off with a pizza omelet, hot chocolate and mutagen (or green jello). Then we played punch out shredder, pizza walk, and pin the pizza on the turtle. We followed up with gifts and cake.
PS. Jon stayed up with me until 1am working on this cake. I love that man.
On Sunday, Benson opened his gifts from his grandma and grandpa Purdy. He was spoiled like crazy, of course. He got a Donatella costume, turtle puzzle, alphabet game, kinetic sand, a turtle book, sand toys, transformer car, and a stomp rocket.
Since his actual birthday was on Monday, he had to wait until this day to open gifts from Mom and Dad. They were opened the second Jon got home from work. I don't know that he even had time to get in the door all the way before the kids were ready to open things up.
We decided to do a special dinner that night. Benson (echoed by Vanessa and Brigham) wanted pizza and for whatever reason, I cannot make a decent pizza. So we decided to go to Chuck-E-Cheese. My kids are in love with the place, after all. Benson mostly wanted to do the roller coaster simulator rides and Brigham just wanted to run around pushing every button he could reach. Vanessa actually did really well on the games and won quite a few tickets.
