Dinodude's BD

It's been a while since I've posted! So sorry. Things are so busy and crazy around here! Dinodude turned 7 this month! Where is the time going? And why is it going so fast? He wanted a lego party, so that's what we did. For the games, we played a lego version of hot potato. Everyone started with a pile of legos in front of them. The first person started with one lego. He'd pass it to the next person and that person would add another lego. Then he would pass it and the next person added another lego. It would just continue on with that while the music played. Whoever had the legos when the music stopped was out. They really enjoyed that. Then, we played a lego spoon relay race. We separated them into 2 teams. Each team got one spoon and a lego. They had to run to one end of the room with the lego on the spoon, then back to their team and hand it off. We actually had to do this twice because there were a few cheaters who tried to hold the lego on the spoon! The last game was pin the weapon on the legoman. I didn't draw this guy. I just printed him and blew it up so he was bigger. If I had more time, I could've drawn a nicer looking one, but he served his purpose. Here's the legoman:

Here's the lego cake I made:

We had a great turnout! I think there were about 7-8 boys. It sure was loud! But, that's part of the fun of it! It was nice outside, too, so they were able to go outside and play. Wally taught them how to play capture the flag and I think they all enjoyed that.

You forgot to mention the Lego tower building game. Again, divided into two teams, they had several Lego pieces to try building a team tower. One of the boys put all his pieces together before even running up to build on to what was already there. So, it took him no time at all to add on to the tower.

You are such a fun mom! So many great ideas for boys. Happy Birthday Dinodude from your relatives in Utah!
