Hayden is 6!   I still can't believe it, even though we had a blast celebrating this past weekend.  As if his past 4 Halloween costume choices didn't give it away, Hayden LOVES superheros.  Naturally, he wanted a superhero birthday party.   Who are we to disappoint?!?! 
We cut out fleece capes and felt shapes for each boy to decorate his own superhero cape and mask.  Here's the superhero squad posing for their comic book cover:   Jackson, JJ, Patton, Hayden, Adam and Grant (can you tell we're military by the names?).    Even though we had activities planned, the boys really just wanted to run around as their secret identities. 
We traced & colored a life-size Hayden to use for "Pin the Symbol on the Superhero".  Luckily, there were no awkward placements on the underwear!  Brennan didn't seem to understand why he couldn't have a turn!



 Finally, the big surprise....
Each boy got his own can of Spiderman Webbing (aka dollar store silly string) to help them catch the burglars scattered all around the garage.  Not only did Patrick allow this cleaning disaster... it was his idea!!  It took some time for the boys to figure out how to work the silly string, but in no time we had colorful webbing ALL OVER the garage.



Each burglar was successfully captured and the superhero squad congratulated on a job well-done.


Until next year, Super Friends!
