A Robot Party!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, boy.  Birthday party #3 in the past six weeks.  Whose idea was it to have all of theses babies in the Fall, anyways?  ;-)

Evander wanted a robot party for his sixth birthday.  This year, he got to invite *several* friends...and they all R.S.V.P.'d as a yes!  So, even though by this time I was a little tired of doing birthdays, I had to try to make this cool for my boy.

So, I tried.  :-/  I didn't get very many pictures because I was so busy with all of the children...but here is a peek!

I made Evander his birthday shirt to look like the robot on his party invitations.

I'm SIX!!!!

I used the Robotz Cricut Cartridge for the invitations.  Lots of pieces and layers.  You'll notice I didn't do any more Cricut robots for party decor.


Speaking of invitation!  I forgot to include Emory's in his party blog post.  You can look at that cuteness here!

We ate robot sandwiches:


And other robot goodies.  Robot Liquid Fuel (they went fast!  Thirsty kids!), Nuts & Bolts (pretzel rods and cheerios drizzled in chocolate) and Computer Chips (Evander's favorite Doritos).



I'm pretty sure that for the next party I'm just going to serve Doritos.

Note, they are under the kitchen table with the big bowl.

We ate robot cake.  Thanks to my mom for making it!  I don't like to make cakes.


We played robot games including "Guess how many robot pieces are in the vase" (there were 167 by the way!), Robot freeze dance--the kids LOVED this!, and a find the robot part whilst blind folded game.  These games need better names!

The children each made a can-bot, too!  FUN!


And this is how much the boy loves robots:


Evander, I love you!!!  I cannot believe you are six years old.  Time is going so quickly.  I pray I am doing the best for you and your siblings.  :-)
