The Lego Party

Last weekend Caden turned six and we celebrated by having a Lego Themed birthday party with his friends.

The icing on the cake started to melt, but Caden still loved the cake. It is just a sponge cake with marshmallows on top.

 No party is complete with out a pinata!

As you can see from the photo above, Caden got pretty hot and sweaty from running around with his friends.

They played pass the parcel, pin the smile on the lego man, guess how many lego pieces in the jar, what's the time mister wolf, a lego and spoon race, musical statues and lots and lots of running around with a football and a soccer ball.

We have no more kids birthdays until January now. Mahli is already planning it...

{Party Planner} Lego Party

Caden's 6th Birthday is this weekend and we are having a Lego Themed party for him. So this week we have been trying to get things organised for that.

We have been building things with Lego

We've also been working on party bags and trying to figure out what type of games to play to keep a group of about 20-30 kids from the ages of 18 months to 8 years entertained for 3 hours.

These fantastic colouring in books are a printable from Cleo Livin' Life

One game we are planning on having is a guessing game for they kids and they are to guess how many Lego pieces in the jar...

Not sure how well that will go.

We are in the process of making a pin the sword on the lego ninja game. And Caden has requested that we play musical statues.

But do you have any other ideas for us? 

What games do you think we should play? 

Family Fun Night

Caden received an early birthday present this year from my Mum as she has headed overseas for a month and wont get back until after his birthday. We took the opportunity to have some family time and bond over some Lego.

I also used the opportunity to play with my camera some more, I am not sure if I am improving or getting worse...

I am still getting to know my camera even though I have had it since Christmas. I guess I should probably finish reading the manual...

What do you do as a family? We play board games on night a month too, well not Ethan, we wait until he goes to bed. Hopefully he can join in next year.

Party Planner: A Lego Party

Caden is turning 6 very very soon. At first he requested a Ghost party, and as much as I liked that idea I was kind of hoping that he would choose a Lego Party instead, I have wanted him to have a Lego party since his Cars birthday party last year. I let him go with his Ghost party planning though. He started his guest list and was thinking of games they could play and what type of cake he would like until he spotted me looking at Lego Parties on Pinterest and promptly changed his mind!

So a Lego Party it is! Here are a few of the pins that grabbed his attention-
