Blaine's Secret Agent Spy Party

SO this years theme for Blaine's Birthday party was "SECRET AGENT SPIES!!"...and we sure had a lot of fun. i toned it down from my usual crazy, 20 kids party to just 8 of Blaine's closest buddies for this adventure. It all started when each kid arrived....they received their "Agent Badge" with their picture, finger print, their agent name and 5 spots for them to earn their agent stars during training...

i had some of my greatest accomplices at hand: pictured here, Agent Luscious Dynamite, and Agent Stella keeping it oh so fashionable!

once all the kids arrived, they were given their special instructions by Secret Agent Max. The kids all had to complete 5 different tasks in training before they could become REAL AGENTS

the First training: LOGIC TRAINING (puzzles)Second training: MASTER OF DISGUISEafter this training, everyone received their "honorary mustache!"Third training: BALANCEFourth training: WEAPONStrying to shot down one of our own agentsand Fifth training: AN OBSTACLE COURSE that combined all of their trainings togetherthey had to capture the flag, crawl through a box......work their way trough the laser ropes.....
and shot down the enemyin the end, they were able to find the cake that had been STOLEN and we were able to finish our party in style with lunch, cake and of course PRESENTS!thanks again to all who came and all who helped! it was a great day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SECRET AGENT BLASTER...aka Blaine
