The Scooby Dooby Dooby Party

As much as Nick loves superheroes, he insisted that instead of a superhero party, he have a "Scooby Dooby Dooby Party". Nick was so excited about his party and inviting all his buddies! However Nick has the unfortunate timing of being born near Spring Break. I hear this will be a problem every year. This means that many kids that he wanted to have at his party were out of town and couldn't make it. So we decided to also invite his whole class from church and ended up having a huge turn out. I think there were 19 kids in all-and to think we invited way more! The more the merrier, right?
At the beginning of the party, while the kids were watching an episode of Scooby Doo, someone stole all the presents! The kids and the Mystery Inc. had to solve the mystery of where the presents were. They followed clues around the house and played some games along the way: Pin the dog tag on Scooby, Stomp the ghosts(balloons), and Pass the Scooby Snacks (hot potato)-which was funny to watch because the kids didn't quite understand how it all worked. We then ate some cake and ice cream. After we found a trail of toilet paper leading us to Nick's room where Skylar, disguised as a mummy, had hidden all of the presents! She totally acted the part including the line " I would've gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling kids!" I unfortunately didn't get a picture! Anyway, Nick got to open presents-which was a little overwhelming with all the kids crowding him! He got some really cool stuff, including a Pluto Planet Hero from Kade and a Webkinz Beagle from Skylar. He had such a great birthday party. He loved it and it was totally worth all the chaos and mess afterward!! Happy Birthday Nicky!

Ha ha! This is such a cute party Cyndi- my boys were sad they couldn't go. You are so creative with someone stealing the presents! I love it! I am glad that Nick had fun and Caden and Carsen will be over with a little gift too!

Keilani had so much fun at that party. Every time I blow up a ballon my kids both try and pop it! Seriously they had a blast!
