Brandon's Birthday

A long, long time ago... my nephew had a 6th birthday party. We went, we had fun and then we put off blogging about it. So here it is. Brandon's "Super Mario" themed birthday party.

And so it began, with my father using the pool noodles that were laying around to beat the children. Only my father can pick up any item and turn it into a weapon (all in the name of good fun) :)




While the rest of us adults watch from the safety of the house.


Audrey, what are you doing?


That surely is not a water balloon, because what woman in her right mind has water balloons at a birthday party? Oh, it is? Then I take it back.

Of course they were faulty water balloons with holes in them.

We played a game of "hot potato" with those balloons.

Girls vs. boys already


Until Audrey throws one at someone and then all bets are off.

Then we do WHAT? Racing with eggs on spoons? Seriously girl, you are your father's daughter.
Look at Ian, too confident.


A rousing game of pin the nose on mario.

Followed by pizza.


Some hopping.


Oh! A bloody nose. Now a party isn't a party without one of those (just kidding guys... well maybe not with boys).

So, what do you do after a bloody nose? Play machine gun nerf vs.
sniper rifle nerf.



Finish it up with a cupcake and I call it a successful day.

Your sister should go into party planning and hosting! It looks like a good time was had by all.
