Mario Party 8

My middle boy turned 8 years old today. I'm so proud of that kid! We have been working on a birthday party for a couple weeks and it all came together pretty good.

The theme was Mario Party.

Not a lot of stuff out in the stores with Mario Bros. so I had to search the internet and do some late night stressing....Ehem....brainstorming.

This was what we came up with..

I finally found red ball caps just two days before the party. I was going to embroider the M patch on the front but time was a tickin' so we used felt and a glue gun instead. I found the mustaches the night before the party at the dollar store....it was attached to a nose and glasses that I had to take apart.Then tape some elastic to hold on the mustache. (The string kept breaking and nobody wore them except for pictures)

And then sometimes not even then :)

The decor was like in the game, stars, coins, bricks and gold boxes

We played "mini games"

We ate pizza and spaghetti...Mario is Italian :)

I made cupcakes and brownies and cherry slushies.

Great day for the birthday boy!

Boys party for sure....
