Calling all superheroes!!! JB 4th Birthday weekend

We started off the weekend by meeting grandma and grandpa at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. It was a beautiful day and we all enjoyed the flowers. You enjoyed feeding the fish of course. We had lunch in the gardens at the cafe there...it was so yummy. I remember you ordered a grilled cheese but had half of grandma's turkey! We followed that by Superman ice cream for the little hero at Mtn. Brk Creamery

Saturday we had lunch @ 5 downtown. It is one of our favorite spots. You love everything there chicken and waffles at brunch and usually eat the burger for lunch. Here is a picture of us with grandma...We left lunch and went straight home to get a few things together for your little birthday gathering with a few friends. 

Here are some pictures below from the party. 

I made capes out of old t-shirts and swords out of pool noodles. You of course had a special super hero t-shirt. The capes didn't last long and yal were pulling them off...good thing they were free =) 

Grandma & Hannah worked hard helping me by hanging these streamers and banner for cute photo ops.

I made your cake homemade in a flash. I did a tie day cake batter with super hero colors and cream cheese icing and super man sprinkles. 

Pictures of you boys with your "spider web" aka silly string and also taking a gold cart cruise home from the playground. 

What I did for the table scape on a dime....

 Used starbucks frap glasses and drew hulk faces on them with permanent black marker and filled with green juice. Blue silly string wrapped in red  craft paper and black spider drawn. 
"ZAP" "BANG" "BOOM" phrases drawn on craft paper and cut out. 
I took used card board boxes from recycling and painted them like buildings. Bought super hero confetti, plates and napkins at Party City. 

    I used pool noodles from the Dollar Tree and cut them in half for swords. I took old t-shirts and followed the tutorial on Pinterest for DIY capes out of old t-shirts. I found super hero masks at Walmart. I used all of John Brady's super heroes as decor. I made his own "tie dye" superhero color cake. White cake mix divided in four bowls(red, blue, yellow, green) then poured them in two baking pans. Topped with homemade cream cheese icing with "superman" colored sprinkles. 

Over all I spent very little and the party decor was precious. The kids enjoyed the "swords", capes and silly string. They played on the play ground and ran around with their masks and capes. We ordered pizza to be delivered to make it easy and mostly...had lots of fun! =)
