Except when he fell on the driveway. The bruises and scrapes still have not healed. I do have pictures I plan to share as soon as I can figure out that process.<br /><br />Thanks Alex, not sure about awesome but I do have my moments. The irony is he probably won't remember it. <br /><br />Rena, I have to admit had it been another theme I might not have gotten so into it. Hmmm, is there a way to convince my husband to do it for me? <br /><br />Christine, thanks. I still enjoy dressing up. I guess that is why I do theatre.<br /><br />Rusty, I think you are the smarter of the two. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "Begin as you mean to go on." I probably should have thought of that when I did my daughter's first big party. <br /><br />Andrew, great dad thing to do. My husband battled them all as Red Skull and seemed to enjoy himself. <br /><br />Sarah, I know. Where is the rule that says when you become an adult big birthday parties aren't cool anymore? <br /><br />Nancy-that's true but God willing there are lots of years after that one that I'll have to contend with.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12269660745591215804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153814983985475864.post-19793664712669637232012-01-17T16:17:51.004-08:002012-01-17T16:17:51.004-08:00Oh well, his 7th birthday only comes once.Oh well, his 7th birthday only comes once.Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153814983985475864.post-39991918139699173962012-01-15T23:44:57.158-08:002012-01-15T23:44:57.158-08:00I'm with your son, my Honey (and , secretly, m...I'm with your son, my Honey (and , secretly, me) would love a birthday party like that :-)Sarah Tokeleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273148070092101085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3153814983985475864.post-58596694264476471232012-01-15T19:36:12.618-08:002012-01-15T19:36:12.618-08:00We did a Star Wars thing like that for my middle c...We did a Star Wars thing like that for my middle child several years ago. All kinds of Jedi trials and then a fight with Darth Maul at the end. One Darth Maul against about a dozen 5-6 year olds.

The most energy I could ever come up with for a birthday was something like, "You want to go see a movie?"<br /><br />Thank goodness my kid was always so easy to please.

I would have killed for such an awesome birthday party! of course, if I'd ever realized what I'd wanted, I'm sure my parents would have gone the distance. <br /><br />You rock (and he only wants Nick Fury to complete the Marvel set.
