Unpersuaded by my alternative suggestions, Rowan was determined to have a superhero theme for his 4th birthday party. I admire parents who can persuade their 4-year-olds to have a party theme of an adult’s choosing… Thus far, I’m not one of them.
At least I get a say over the cake…
Inspired by Harry and Horsie, first blogged about by Lou right here.
Of all the superheros, Harry might just have to be my favourite. Katie Van Camp and Lincoln Agnew capture the spirit of little boys becoming super heros and cleverly sidestep the fighting and guns, with a ‘super duper bubble blooper’…
(Did you know Harry is a celebrity baby of sorts? I just discovered this.)
It was very wet and very cold on the day of Rowan’s party, and despite four-year-old energy levels and being cooped up in the garage for most of the party, Rowan and his friends were absorbed by a reading of Harry and Horsie.
The costumes were calling out for a photo, a la the cover of Play All Day.
But the highlight? A patch of sunshine and a good half an hour of ‘superhero flying’: jumping off the slide and into the beanbag.
I absolutely love this theme. What an awesome cake and the posed superhero picture holding onto the building is so creative.
How awesome! Love the idea of the photo shoot set up!
You are birthday party superhero!
Incredible Katie. What a super mum! Rowa is a lucky boy. That cake is amazing and should be a feature on ohdeedoh!
Happy Birthday Rowan!!!
We’re honored you chose Harry and Horsie to be a part of your special day. It looks like you guys had a blast.
Great cake, Katie!
Best,
Katie and Lincoln
Love the flying superhero photo!
