Monster Truck Party for my Big Boy 4 yr. old

My little man Josiah turned 4 this month. He's just my bundle of joy!  His giggle is the most contagious thing you'll ever hear.

His one request wast to have a Monster Truck Party with his friends so I turned to Pinterest.  Don't you just love Pinterest?  It's offically become my go-to site for, well, everything!  Recipes, DIY, gift ideas, and now that I'm in the stage...themed birthday parties.


I had great visions of this party in my head...the boys running around playing games in our back yard and eating on the patio where my dogs would clean up the mess, not me.  The moms and I would all just sit on the patio and laugh and chat and catch up as we soaked in the spring sun.  However, spring in WI is, well, unpredictable at best.

It rained.

HARD.

Poured is more like it. Rivers running through our yard and my sump pump in the basement could barely keep up.  So...we headed to church. The only last minute place I could think of to relocated that was the perfect price...free.



 Monster Truck Cake
I just made a simple (Confetti, of course) cake mix, added chocolate frosting for "dirt", and the truck and cars (all of which were sanitized in the dishwasher first!).


While all the kiddos arrived the boys colored thier own monster truck pictures.




Lunch
I loved these ideas that I included on the lunch table!!




Games

Monster Truck Relay Races
It took me all week to make these little beauties!  Boxes wrapped in paper and the I glued all the parts on.  The ribbon I just used the hubby's work stapler.


Aren't they cute?!!!



Revving thier engines at the starting line!



 I couldn't resist adding this pic of our little friend Callie.  Oh the concentration on her face!



 Monster Truck Bowling





Pin the License Plate on the Monster Truck
This was a big hit.





And then I sent them home all sugared up for nap time and while my littles crashed in thier beds I crashed on the couch.  I'm so blessed.
