Rowan turned 5-Batman Style~

 Rowan turned 5 on January 9 at 4:05 p.m.;-)  It was a school day, so we were up and at 'em early!   We did presents before school.  That night Rowan and Alex had church, so that was the extent of our celebrating!

Happy Birthday!

We celebrated with Alex's parents and sister on Saturday!  Alex had the camera, so we have no documentation of said relatives;-)  They helped us enjoy a Taco Bell dinner (Rowan's choice) and some Orange Leaf for dessert (also Rowan's choice)!  It was fun, and he got a really cool gun and Batman figure;-)

Then we were ready for the friend party on Sunday!  We had our neighbor boys and another friend over for Batman Training Camp!  I made each child a personalized cape and mask, so we were ready for training!

Ready to be superheroes!

The neighborhood gang (minus Hayden-he ran late) plus Isla!  I could tell our house was safe the moment they all came in;-)

The prettiest superhero!

We played games then in our costumes!  The first one up was "Vaporize the Villain!"  That is code for shoot the bad guys with silly string.  This was MESSY, but the kids had fun!

How many bad guys did you hit?

 Then we started to retrieve the anti-venom from the Bat Cave to help our friends.  Alex made an obstacle course that led into a tent.  We turned off all of the lights, and they were retrieving glow sticks.  It was fun, and this kept them entertained for a long time!

 Then we were on to Bat Planes.  The kids made paper airplanes, and we launched them to see whose Bat Plane could fly the farthest!  Colin's was hands down the best.  That thing flew!

They were so eager!

 Last on the list was cake! We sang, and then the kids dug in.  Rowan had requested  an ice cream cake, so we went with it!  It was delicious and stress free;-)

A great big wish made!

Eating our cake and drinking our Power Punch!

The party was fun, and I'm confident they had a good time!  Rowan was in bed at 6:20 tonight, so I know I wore him out;-)  We had a great time celebrating the blessing of our now 5 year old!
