A Totally Awsumb Spider-man and Friends Birthday Party

Awsumb 2004

Happy 3rd Birthday!

I think my husband wanted this party more than my 3 year old!

All the kids were invited to come dressed in their Halloween costumes.

Decor: Poster of Spider-man, red and blue balloons

and a giant spider web made out of black yarn

The kids had fun climbing around in this spider-web. 

Eventually we helped them each follow a string from on end to the other to find their prizes:

Spider-man Pez

I took pictures of the kids making their best Hulk faces.

The mayor sent over some award ribbons for all the super-heroes...

 Then it was time to the let kids "jump around"

The Bounce House 

OK - on one told me that blue frosting would be a mess to clean up! 

There are so many fun things

you can do with super hero themes,

depending on the age of the kids. 

I kept things pretty simple, it was plenty.

If I hosted a super hero party again I would make each kid their own cape.

This can be a simple cut of fabric

pinned to the kid's shirts

or with a simple tie, snap or velco around the neck.

Awsumb's Big Present:

Spider-man and Friends Playset

(I guess this is the equivelant to the Barbie Dream House?!)

Disclaimer:

I really wanted a Pirate Party and only did this Super Hero Party

to make my little boy and husband happy!
And I wouldn't let Awsumb wear the Spider-man costume for Halloween

because it just wasn't up to my standards! LOL!

I knew I would get to do a Pirate Party eventually,
And I did just that for his 8th Birthday!
