party plotting

in a few months, our little guy will turn 5 and i've got my work cut out for me this year. i've got feedback from the wee boss that he wants a spiderman party, then one day he'd switched out to a superman party or that he'd like a star wars jedi training get-together. it seems like he can't make up his mind! 

luckily, i've got tons of inspiration from my favorite party gals and pinterest and i'm taking notes! 

how awesome is this spiderman pinata? aston will flip out when he sees this!

i kinda like the colors of this superhero-themed party and it's non-specific, non-commercialized goodness and i'm all for that ~ IF the little guy OKs!

i am excited to plan this party but really, i can't believe he is almost 5! that's what i'm amazed about ~ where did our baby go? he was just in pampers and we blinked and soon he'll be in kindergarten! wow!
