3rd birthday for Knoxx

Knoxx is now 3. We had his birthday party yesterday and he LOVED his party.  I loved planning his party. Knoxx Loves Spiderman and that was so nice because Spiderman stuff is really common and easy to find.

We did the party on a Friday morning. We had so many of Knoxx’s friends come.  He was really happy to see everyone. We played with play dough while we waited for everyone to arrive. Then our first activity was a punching to get a prize.  I took paper bowls and put a toy inside and then taped tissue paper over the front. The kids had to punch hard enough to rip the tissue paper so they could get their prize. I got this idea off Pinterest and I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of it but I think the kids loved the Idea. Also 3 year olds aren’t super strong and so it took then a few tried to break the tissue paper. The prizes were candy necklaces and sunglasses.

Then we had a visit from our friendly neighborhood Spiderman. He took all the kids up stairs and taught them how to shoot bad guys with silly string.  Knoxx was hugging Spiderman and just loving life.

After the excitement died down we went outside for a Spiderman piñata.  I filled it with candy and fruit snacks.  

Then it was time for cake. I had made the cake that morning. Again I went with a regular frosting one instead of fondant.  I think we had about 4 kids licking the frosting right off the cake before I was able to cut it.

Then Knoxx got to open all the presents. He Was super excited and loved everything.

The party went by really fast. Knoxx crashed early that day and then was up all night like from midnight to 3 am.   I guess he just wanted to start celebrating his birthday early.  Of course when we tried to tell him that today was his actual birthday He would tell us that his birthday is over.  He also insists that he is no longer 2 and is now 5. 

earlier this week I took Knoxx to the Zoo.  I did this same thing when rocky turned 3 and let him be in charge the whole day.  Knoxx loved it! we saw elephants fighting, snapping turtles fighting,  goats eating, I let him feed the giraffes.  It was the perfect Zoo trip. He walked the whole time and slept the whole way home and then some.  We love you Knoxx Happy Birthday.
