A Spiderific Birthday!!

The day finally arrived, Chase's 4th Birthday!! He has been talking about his birthday FOREVER!! He could not wait to be 4 (you know when you turn 4 your a big boy he would tell me). We woke to find that we had been webbed!! There were spiders and webs everywhere! The doorway to his room had him webbed in! It was a little funny when he woke and said "What is this?, when I told him it was spider webs he was so scared he started crying until I told him they weren't real.
He also found a surprise waiting for him in the living room (like my wrapping?). I was not about to try to really wrap this thing, but lucky for me when your 4 you can't detect what is under the leftover decorations. Ha ha!A new bike!!! He could not wait to get outside and start riding. He still needs alot of practice, but I found he does best when you stand in front of him and say "Hey don't run me over!"
Later that night it was time to party!! Spider man was the theme this year.
For my kids it seems to be all about the games, so I planned alot! First up, some of Spidey's arch nemesis had arrived at the party and so we had to scare them off with our webs (silly string in a can). This was really fun!
Then we played throw spidey in his web. The idea was to get your spider closest to the middle of the web. Here is Sadi trying to make hers go really high.
Next it was time to help set your spidey free (donuts on strings).
We also played spidey toss. I tried to make a skee ball type scoring rings, and found some spider man discs to toss in them.
We also had to practice our skills at "crime wrap". A good guy has to be able to apprehend a bad guy quickly. I'm glad Daddy was a good sport being our criminal.
Peter Parker had let us know that some Radio active spiders had been let loose in the house, and we needed to capture all of them before someone got bit! Sadi collected all of hers on one finger.
We also tested our spidey senses to see if we could feel the matches to this spider man memory game I had made.
All those games worked up quite the appetite and so it was time for dinner. What was on the menu? Green Goblin soda
and spider bread with webs! It was yummy!
Of course no party is complete without party bags right? But what's the fun in just handing them out, they had to follow there web threads all over the house to find them.
Chase got to open a few more presents when we were done running all over the house. A new puzzle (he is really into puzzles right now).
New PJ's! I had to take this picture because it was so funny it was only the second gift he opened and he stopped everything stood up took his clothes off so he could put them on right then.
A new game from Grandma and Grandpa.
It was finally time for cake and ice cream! My attempt at making a spider man cake.
Wishing big! Can you believe he is already talking about his next birthday?

Reading your blog and looking at the pictures made me feel like I had been there. I got teary eyed when Chase asked over the phone when we were coming over to eat cake. Matt can be happy that he was wrapped in toilet paper and not duct tape, oh wait, that was David that they wrapped in duct tape.
