Watch Out Here Come the Zombies!!!!!

I am finally getting around to posting about Weston's awesome 6th birthday party if I do say so myself.  This is what the invitation looked like that I mailed/e-mailed out.  I created them on my handy dandy scrapbook program.  Don't you just love the grey chevron?
Weston really wanted a gun party.  I started brainstorming ideas.  I though western at first and he wanted no part of that party.  Then I though why not a zombie killing party.  Weston loved the idea.  So I went with it.  With his party being in October I was able to find great things for his party.  And let's face it don't we all love the ideas on pinterest.  I decided to not make the cake this year.  I love making the cupcakes and cakes but mine just never turn out tasting the best.  They look adorable but that is about it.  So I thought make things easy get a cake from the world's greatest bakery.  So that I called Dick's up and said I need a zombie cake.  I then went wild with the zombie theme for food.  We made mummy hot dogs for the kids.  Zombie guts (pasta salad), zombie virus, (sherbet and soda), pudding with dirt (cookie crumbs) and worms, and then chips and salsa. 
Our yummy mummy hot dogs.
The yummy Dick's cake.

The table set up.  I am in love with how it all pulled together.
Weston and Cason were so cute they helped me put the dirt on the pudding and the worms.  My little helpers.

For the kids gifts Jon made marshmallow guns for the kids to shoot.  Here is their ammo.

I had the kids go outside and shoot at paper zombies I had printed and hung from the ceiling of the garage.

All the boys after their target practice. While the boys were practicing. Jon and our good friend Kenton went upstairs to turn into ZOMBIES. This is them coming out our front door.

Kenton came out first and he had the walk and moan down PERFECT


Here comes Jon.  Bella wasn't too sure about this!

Oh my gosh I wish I could upload the video.  This kids were hilarious when the guys came out they all started screaming.  Weston was scared at first until I was like its just Dad and Kenton.  Then all the kids had a blast.  The guys were the PERFECT ZOMBIES. 
Cason saying to Parker.  Don't worry I can fix it.
After the zombie shooting we went inside to eat cake.  Weston was embarrassed having all the attention on him as evident by the picture.  His I am super shy face was on.
We then went outside to open gifts.  All our friends were extremely generous with the presents they bought. 
 

Look at the look of PURE Joy!

While we were waiting for all the kids to come we played a few rounds of hot brain instead of hot potato with a little brain I got at the dollar store.

We also played pin the zombie on the zombies. 
I think the party was a complete success!  Weston said it was the best party he has had.  And his favorite part was shooting his dad and Kenton.
