Day 1043 | The Making of a Superhero Birthday Party

Are you curious what Chris and I have been spending our free time on for the last couple of weeks? Take a gander below. Our little superhero had the best party ever and it seemed like his superhero friends felt similarly. Thanks to my mom for help with the capes and all the last minute prep! Thanks to Chris's mom for cutting out all the superhero paper dolls. And thanks to all our other friends + family for pitching in in a million ways. It definitely takes a village. 

A picture perfect day and party...

A SUPERHERO TRAINING CHECKLIST

These are the stations our little superheroes had to visit to complete their training.

CHALLENGE 1: AGILITY

Chris set up a pretty fantastic obstacle course in the backyard.

CHALLENGE 2: BALANCE

Build your super lair by stacking plastic cups.

CHALLENGE 3: COORDINATION

Toss the ball in the bins and win a prize!

CHALLENGE 4: COURAGE

Pick out your favorite [temporary] tattoo and brave the *pain* to have it applied.

CHALLENGE 5: STYLE

Design your own super suit. Thanks again Grandma Bibi for making all the cutouts!
