Spencer had a very eventful birthday this past week. He had a birthday party- truck themed, with several of the families that we play with on a regular basis. Larry was in charge of the games and activities (we decided a few years ago that he would be in charge of the boy parties, and I would do the girl ones).
They started by coloring and putting stickers on some coloring pages, then a game of "Car, car, truck" (similar to duck, duck, goose).
They also had a yellow truck pinata full of candy that they took turns beating to death. Of course, the hunt in the straw for chocolate coins and pennies was a big success. The kids got to choose prizes.
Here's Spencer's cake. We did have some roads that extended onto the platter, but they had to be removed because of the fish tank flood (see blog entry below). I carved into the cake and put the extras on top to look like rocks. So, it's supposed to look messy- I promise I'm really a decent cake decorator.
After all the cake and ice cream and the gifts, Spencer was pooped! I think he was over stimulated because he threw a tantrum for about 45 minutes afterwards about not wanting to eat his birthday dinner of choice- french toast and eggs. After Larry got back from waterpolo practice, Spencer opened his gifts from us. He even let Lindsey open several of them (not that she gave him much choice).
