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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Hi there!
Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment on my blog!
It was so nice and I loved reading what you wrote. And thank you for being a teacher and loving our nations children! I tell you I am forever grateful for every teacher and for what they do for our kids! The tragic event in CT will hopefully bring some good to people and I know I have certainly changed and recognized things like that teachers really do protect and love our little ones while they are not at home.
My daughter has a friend in her class named Weston and I thought for a second that you might be his mom and that maybe we knew each other. Haha. Too funny. Anyway thanks so much for commenting and it's great to find your blog! :)
