Tyler's 6th Birthday

Tyler loves army men so much, he wanted an army birthday party. So we decided on marshmellow guns, face paint, bandanas and tattoos. Yes, the mothers just loved me! The boys went on a scavenger hunt to get "outfitted" for their war games. They found their bandanas first, then the face paints, then tattoos, and finally, marshmellow guns made from PVC pipe. We supplied them with "ammo" (mini marshmallows) and let them shoot each other for most of the party!
Here are the troops in full gear and ready to roll.
This is what we lovingly refer to as the Tylers. This is our Tyler's best friend, Tyler. These guys are the best of buddies and really make a great pair. They play well, are nice to each other and siblings and basically make life a lot easier for everyone when they are together!
This was Tyler's crazy face, he was very intent on "destroying the enemy". This really was a fun birthday. And easy too! the kids just ran around the backyard all day! You can't ask for more than that!
