Hudson's 8th Birthday!!!

Hudson asked for a Star Wars birthday party at home for his 8th birthday!
We had a lot of fun getting things ready for this. We made light sabers for each of the kids to take home made out of pool noodles and duct tape(yep one more use for duct tape!)
We put some balloons in the trampoline and put some droid stickers inside and then if they popped the one that had the droid sticker (droid plans) then they got to pick from the bag of prizes. Usually for birthdays we fill the trampoline with balloons but it was just too hot and as it was the balloons were popping in the heat!
We had lightsaber wars, pin the explosion on the galaxy in 3D (that is what the goofy glasses they had on in the first picture were for) and then of course the pinata!
Originally Hudson thought he had wanted a baseball party so I picked up a baseball pinata for him. Of course, being a kid, they change their mind every ten seconds so in a way it worked in my favor. I took all the little white baseball tissue paper off the outside of the pinata then painted it grey and then Jase detailed it to look like a Deathstar. At least when the kids came to the party they knew what it was so it wasn't a total failure!!
Overall it was a great day and I hope everyone had fun!!

The Deathstar! They first hit the pinata with their lightsabers and then we brought out the pinata bat!!

That Death Star is awesome! Mallorie had such a fun time and we all use the light saber daily.
