Boys waiting for the bus

We ate lots of pizza and had the ice cream factory at the end (which was a big hit), and then headed back home on the bus for games and cake. As you will see, Addie has become a huge fan of pizza in the last few weeks.

The highlight on the way home was getting to sit on the top floor on the double decker bus in the front row up against the glass. This was super fun and then was made even more special by a random policeman who came and sat by them and chatted quite a bit of the way home. He wanted to know if all five of the boys were Charles's kids (no kidding - five boys all between the ages of 2 and 7, with three of them being 5 - I guess it could be possible!).
At home, we had a knights quest clue game where we sent all the boys to various places throughout the house where clues were placed. The boys started as pages and then were 'knighted' at the end when they reached the final clue which was attached to a sword. The sword was their party gift that they were able to take home.
Each boy had individual clues, but as an example, here are Jack's clues:
Card 1 (began with the month of each boy's birthday)
Card 2
Card 3
Card 4
Card 5

We then had the two families (the Tuckwells and the Grahams) join us for cake before collecting the boys and taking them back home. We had a castle cake (Jack's request -hence the knight theme).

It was a great celebration - and even better now that all the little knights and one princess are in bed for the night!

I believe this made a memory for several little knights. Jack is a lucky little fellow.
Sounds like it was a magical party! I bet the double decker was cool, and policeman even cooler! Yay Jack, I wish I had been there to help this time around.
Wow, sounds like it was so much fun! And I'm super impressed with the knights game and all those clues and the castle cake. Happy Birthday, Jack!
Fantastic! I wish I were a 5 year old boy! SO fun!
Happy Birthday to Jack next Tuesday. It sounds like he had a wonderful time at his party! With his hood in in the picture, he looked just like Charles. Odd, since he looks so much like his grandfather Abbott.
We can't wait to see our knights and our little princess!
