Weston's 7th birthday

Someone turned 7 in July!  He transitioned from Angry Birds to Batman this year.  He really likes one of Batman's villains - Bane (probably because of his big muscles).  He was very excited to get his Batman Lego set with Bane.  Owen was thoughtful and drew Weston a picture of Bane.  If you can't read it, it says, "I know you like Bane so here is a picture of Bane beating up Batman.  I love you!  From, Owen"   Such a sweet birthday card... 😃

He also got the whole set of "Who Would Win" books, although we haven't had much time to read them...  He also was happy to get another Batman Lego set - Joker Balloon Escape.  

I also got him a Bane t-shirt, which he wears until I tell him to put on a clean shirt.  He got some insect toys and some real insect wings and parts (to be looked at with magnification). 

He got 7 pieces of bacon for breakfast and a cake from our home teacher on his birthday.  I made a cake later for his friend party.  Here he is holding his coveted Lego Bane.

We usually do friend parties every other year now, but we let Weston do two in a row.  Since we are moving to England and won't be back until after his birthday next year, we let him do a friend party with his kindergarten buddies.  It was hard to get good attendance with summer vacations, but we got 4 of his friends from school at his party.  They had a great time - we filled a bunch of water balloons and let them have a water balloon fight.  Before that, they got to throw water balloons at laminated pictures of Batman's villains and do a mini obstacle course.  Then we had pizza and cake and let them run around wild! They each got a Batman fidget spinner for party favors.

Weston wanted a Bane cake, and I was worried how I was going to put that together.  Weston said it would be okay to put a print out of Bane on his cake, so that made it pretty easy.  

It was fun!  Happy 7th birthday Weston!
