For William's Birthday this year, he decided that he wanted to go with a "Ben 10" theme. Yes, I know...you are all just as shocked as I was. hehe
So, after much surfing of the net to find ideas, this is what we came up with.
Invitations
I got this idea from some lady's blog. I would put up a link, but I can't remember where it is... and let's face it, I probably won't waste my time trying to find it. Sorry.
The Cake
We opted for an Omnitrix. Nice and circular. There were some pretty elaborate ones all over the internet, we chose the easy route.
Games
We made paper Omnitrixes then we ran an Alien Obstacle Course and hit the requisite pinata.
For the obstacle course the kids would tap their Omnitrix to turn into various aliens and then navigate the course. They turned into Graymatter to crawl through a hula-hoop, XLR8 to run around cones, 4 Arms to throw a ball, Wild Mutt to run up the hill, and Cannon Bolt to roll down. (I have this Ben 10 lingo down - thanks to William)
I couldn't find any Ben 10 pinatas so I just bought a basket ball one and told William that it was a mixture of Wild Mutt and Cannon Bolt. He bought it!
Here are all the kidos.
Make a Wish
Good shot by Emily. I was wrangling the cunning little aliens.
Presents
All he wanted was an Alien Chamber. Luckily he got 2 so Aubrey can play.
What Now?!
I ran out of things to do and there was still 20 minutes left. So, we watched an episode of Ben 10. I love my DVR.
All of the boys were singing along to the theme song. Very cute.
Bye Bye
The kids all got to take home little goodie-bags filled with bubbles, straws, play-dough, and fruit snacks. Pretty much everything I could find at the dollar store.
This was definitely a pizza night. I was done....
Happy Birthday, Bubba. I love you!

And I would love to say that I know what Ben 10 is, but I don't have a clue. Chad and I were sitting up reading about this awesome party and after we did so WE decided to search our digital cable for Ben 10 episodes. You now have us both very curious. We will now be watching a few episodes to see what it is all about. Thanks! We're excited. =)
