So our little man, soon to be the middle man, Simon turned 5 today and we celebrated with a Home Depot themed party. We began by having a scavenger hunt inside of HD. The kids used the chart below to go around the store and find all the items pictured and they needed to write down the items prices. Normally I don't think HD likes kids running around the store screaming, but they seemed more than happy watching our little band of workers comb the aisles looking for each item.
It was a blast!
After the hunt, we came back home and began the building part of the party. We decided that making catapults seemed like a safe and responsible project for 5 moderately supervised kids to take on. The kids each got their own tools, aprons, and wood.....25 minutes later, we had projectiles flying everywhere (and nobody was hurt in the process, safety first right?).
We had lots of family here to sing Happy Birthday and enjoy the gift giving. Thank you everyone for coming and sharing Simon with us! I wish I could post all of his gifts, but he was smiling all night long!
Even our cupcakes were built by The Home Depot
Happy Birthday Simon!
