A Robot Party for Wilder's 4th Birthday

IMG_1728


it completely blows my mind that it was already four years ago that i gave birth to this boy who has continued to steal my heart more and more every day i know him. these past four years have gone by so fast (SO FAST), and yet i can barely remember life before him. he very specifically asked for a robot party, so of course, we had a million ideas running around in our heads of what we could do, and of course may have gotten a little carried away with it all. but it was definitely a lot of fun to create this party for him, and i think he really enjoyed it. :) i had a lot of fun making the robot crayons and robot cake especially, but you should have seen it during the making process! i'm pretty sure j opened the fridge at one point before i had done the fondant and was like ew! what is that!? haha! it was terrible looking as i was trying to figure out how to get the shapes i wanted using an insufficient number of box cakes and the circular cake pans, etc. it was quite the study in geometry for a little bit there. ;) i think the kids enjoyed the robot boxes and tunnel that j built the most. tied with the water guns, of course.

as always when i'm hosting or just dealing with kids in general, i find it hard to take all the photos i want to take at the same time, but i did get a few. and thanks to our friends who got a few for us as well!

J made this punch box in lieu of a piƱata, and it was so fun! every kid got to punch a circle and inside were some little prizes.
