We had a super duper spy party for him yesterday. Tanner was allowed to invite 8 friends over, and he is such a good boy and decided to include his little brothers in his list.
Then we came up with code names by popping a balloon with an adjective and a balloon with a creature - we got names like dancing fox and big dragon and clever badger, etc. And everyone was given essential spy tools - a magnifying glass and black sunglasses.
Then we had to crack the code. Each alphabet letter was assigned a symbol and they had to figure out what the sentences said. (It's great to be 8! and Happy Birthday Tanner!) Oh and did I mention it was all in size 4 font so they had to use a magnifying glass to figure them out.
The laser challenge was fun. Everyone tested their skills at limbo and contortion-ism as they went over under and around the laser beams.
Disabling bombs was a real "hit"! Except for the one piece of candy that exploded on Colt's head, everyone came out of it injury free. (and loaded with sugar) There was a clue to find their stolen weapons as well, so off they went on the scavenger hunt.
The clues were things like "modern day ice chest", "green gas guzzler", "electrical plate cleaner", etc. The catch was that the clues were all in font size 2 so a magnifying glass was required.
When the weapons were located we had target practice shooting balloons and targets drawn on the windows.
Special ops included gifts and cake & ice cream.

What a fun birthday party!! last year Mariska chose to have a super hero party. We played games that tested out the kids super abilities. Popping balloons with super strength was my favorite. I love the themed parties. Jack will have his first one this year!
