rock on

a birthday on 10.10.10 calls for one rockin' party. so jack's party was a rock star theme. fits him like a pair of tight leather pants...
i found my invites on vistaprint.com. you have to wade through a lot to find the goodies, but i like them because you can do any wording, font and script size you want. these invites were affordable and rockstar cool...

jack wanted to drive go-karts, so i had to fit that into the theme somehow. the place is called "champions". thanks queen, for the song that provided my thin connection between go-karts and rock stars (see last line of the invite). the boys had a blast rockin' it on the race track...

(btw, hair-flipping while driving is almost as dangerous as texting)

so did the girls...
the decorations=nothing i actually had to purchase...

except the cake, which i didn't really like...
it was okay, but i really wanted to make this one. but we were gone all weekend and didn't return until 3 hours before the party. also, i rarely have success in the cake decorating department, so i thought it would end up as something deserving to be on cake wrecks. thus, the store-bought cake. sort of cute. not too delicious. still, it worked...
the guests=family + five little boys...
the presents=fun!
among other great gifts, jack's zhu-zhu pet (the beloved mr. squiggles) got a wife and a car...
whose the rock star now?

jack was thankful...

(any guesses where lulu learned her attack hugs?)

while bill and lulu did the robot to "mr. roboto" one of the songs on jack's jamz the cd of jack's faves included in the treat bags...
a few days before the bday tate asked me "what totally unrealistic gift did jack ask for this year?" he does it every year. this year it was a real ford mustang. we gave him one...

not quite what he meant, but good for a laugh.

it definitely was a happy birthday, albeit a tiring one...
hey jack...
you rock!
