My Little Monster is FOUR!!

DISCLAIMER:  This post is LONG and I had  major camera problems so the pics are not very high quality.  BUT, my boy is the cutest and I think the party was wild, fun, and super cute!  (good thing since I worked my butt off)

Here is the invite with my personal info covered with gray boxes.  Aren't those monsters so adorable?

Here is a perfect example of the energy that was at Berk's Party.  I asked them to roar like monsters and oh boy did they ever.

I made a monster pinata. 

First time I have ever attempted, but I think it turned out super cute

and I saved a ton of $$

Monster gift bags

I painted this monster for Pin the Eye on the Monster

I also made this Monster Bean Bag Toss (thank you pinterest for most of my ideas)

It says, "BEWARE - Little Monsters Inside"

Doesn't the monster door look amazing?? 

It was soooo easy and I am going to do it again for Halloween.

Streamer curtain - thank goodness my mother in law Diane came up Friday afternoon to help me.  She made this curtain, made me some bean bags, did tons of laundry, entertained my kids, washed dishes, glued eyes on cups and napkins, and so much more.  She saved me.  I was wiped out from subbing on Friday (how stupid to take a elementary sub job the day before a major party - what was I thinking - plus it was the most challenging sub job ever).

Love the monster cake I stayed up until 2 am making.

Monster headbands

One-eyed monster cupcakes

monster napkins...forgot to take pics of the cups too

balloon streamer...Corey made this - this picture doesn't do it justice.

little monsters waiting in line for the monster bean bag toss

the chaos of 12 kids ages 2-7....yikes, what was I thinking??

my little man pinning the eye on the monster

Berk with his little cousin Max & his buddy Nathan

Carlie pinning the eye

Max escaped with Berk on the side of the house for a minute and got drenched in mud...his mommy was not too happy, but I was happy it was him and not the birthday boy :)

little, scary monsters

how cute is that??  I LOVE that me -

 a very NOT artistic person was able to make this all by myself

love these monsters

****OK - here should be some AWESOME pics of the monster slime we made (borax & glue), but NO ONE took pics because we were so busy helping all the kiddos.  Oh well!!

missed the singing part for some reason

He LOVED his cake

he blew out his four candles one by one - so funny

"Oh man, my mom is crazy, how embarrassing!"

I am so popular - look at all my fun friends!!!!!

the crazy present opening time - he got so many amazing presents - what nice friends and family

getting excited for pinata time!!!!!!!!!!

what cuties

Max is up wearing some clean clothes of Berk's -

good thing they are pretty close in size because he was filthy

let's look at how amazing my pinata is again before it is DESTROYED

Aubry...we love her. 

Chelsea was scared to hit the pinata for some reason

Matthew was super strong

We discovered that Berk had NO idea what to do with a bat...get with the program COREY and teach your son how to play baseball (your favorite sport)...how embarrasing

Jake the stud

I thought Adan was going to break it he is soooo strong, but Carlie was the last to hit and she broke it.

CANDY!!!!!!

such great buddies

ROAR!!!!!!!!!

Grrrrrrrrr!!!!

Oh boy is Chelsea cute

We love Sam....what a great kid, friend, & neighbor

Nathan is in Berk's primary class at church.  He is soooo quiet at church - at the party he was a super cute wild man!!!

Brian was also a funny wild man....love him!

Matthew is one big ball of energy...so nice that Berk has so many friend with as much energy as he does!!

What a great poser!!!!

All in all it was a great party and Berk had a BLAST!!!  Thanks to Corey, Diane, Kim, & Kelsey for their help in keeping the party moving and the chaos to a minimum.  I REALLY appreciate it!!!!!!!!!!!

I love my little boy more than I could every explain. 

He is sunshine to my soul!!!
