Every year, the fall brings a marathon of birthdays for us to celebrate. Joseph rounds out the season with his November 3rd birthday. We celebrated him turning 8 a few days early. He picked a Teenage Mutant Ninja Theme (we've come a long way since his caterpillar cake on his first birthday). Luckily, the internet can teach us everything we need to know about throwing a TMNT party. First, we need paper lanterns dressed up to look like ninja turtles. Then, we need decorations in each turtle's signature color. We can't forget appropriate activities such as decorating throwing disks to look like pizzas and laying out pizza boxes for the kids to throw them into. They also got to try to land throwing stars in takeout boxes, wear ninja masks, and swing around foam nunchucks. The kids thought it was a pretty fun afternoon.
Of course, the food included pizza and toxic ooze (jello).
