Grady's After Party & Birthday!

We started having the After Party/ Family Party after Grady's 5th Birthday Party and I really love the idea.   This way we can hang out and visit with the family instead of having to visit while hosting the Birthday Party.  The family also gets to interact the birthday boy instead of watching him play with his friends.  

 Everyone, well almost everyone, at the after party had to try the Slackline.

We all enjoyed pizza and cookie cake.  It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day.  

Wednesday was Grady's Birthday.  He did not want to rip down the streamers from his Birthday Morning Surprise, so he has been ninja"ing" under them.  The boys and I picked up donuts and chocolate milk for breakfast.   I let Grady open one gift (I hinted to the gift I thought he was waiting for), they played with the Leapster GS all day.  I made them a PB&J face for lunch.  Grady had soccer practice Wednesday night and after practice we went to supper at Caliente Mexican Restaurant (Grady's Choice).   We came home to open gifts and eat Doberge cake. 

Ninjago Ninja Training Party

Grady has his 6th Birthday Party Saturday.  

We started off Ninja Training by making Ninja Names.  

The boys made Origami Ninja Stars, then decorated the stars with Japanese Characters.  

Once the stars were decorated they practiced throwing the stars to knock off the balls.

All Ninjas have to have good Balance, so the boys practiced walking on the slack Line.

They practiced punches and kicks with the Hanging Ball.

All the boys broke wood boards.  

(I saw on a website that your can use Balsa wood that you buy at hobby lobby.)

Then we had Samurai Sword Battles with pool noodles.  They had to balance on the beam, the first one to step off lost.  

It was a wonderful Party.  

 We gave all the boys Samurai Swords as a party favor.
