Cameron has been planning his Superhero birthday party for about half a year. He loves superheroes, so I indulged him in this fantasy and he was "SUPER Cameron" for the day. The kids had so much fun. Luckily we didn't invite too many people, because the events leading up to the party were stressful enough.
Let me explain. I, being the crazy mother that I am, make a special cake for each of my kids birthdays. They figured out early on that I enjoy decorating cakes, so usually when they are thinking about what kind of party they want it is usually all about the cake. That week was a fairly warm week, and the day before the party was very warm. So I didn't want to heat up the house the night before by baking the cake. I did it the morning before the party, which left me rushed to put out the exact order for the cake. (It had to be green inside, like Kypotonite, and have the super Cameron symbol on top.) In the middle of baking and preparing to decorate, I suddenly saw a river floating down the hall. Cameron was taking a bath, but Laurel decided to put ALL of her bedding and stuffed animals in the tub. I guess she thought Cameron needed company in there, and Cameron felt crowded and threw out all the paraphernalia. It was not good timing! Anyway, a good friend offered to take the kids until I was ready for the party. I took that offer so promptly, that I didn't even really clean up the river until I got back to the house.
Well, obviously, the cake and party turned out great. Walt was our Scarlet Pineappler, our super villian. The kids enjoyed jumping on him and binding him up. He was such a great sport. I forgot the candles for the cake, but oh well. Cameron is 4 and I am glad to be done with his party until next year. Happy Birthday to me too.
