Beyblade or Bust

Friend party number three is over and done. Thank goodness. When Giggles told me he wanted a Beyblade party I have to admit I cringed a little inside. We don't watch Beyblade so I don't know anything about the show. Nothing. It was time for some research. Thank goodness for the internet and Google.

But even after several internet searches I still felt at a loss. The cakes were all too elaborate for my taste (ability) and there were so many characters that I wasn't sure who to focus on. Bad guys became good guys ... who was really the good vs evil in this show? So I picked who seemed to be the main good character and randomly picked another character. Too bad if I was wrong.

For this party I chose Hot Beyblade (hot potato), Tic Tac Toe (with Beyblade characters), pin the Beyblade, and of course a piñata.






I did the games in a tournament form making two teams - Tyson vs. Kai (Beyblade characters) and each game was assigned points. We also have a ping pong table and airhockey table which we included in the tournament.

For the cake I decided to make cupcakes using Beyblade colors and put them in a Beyblade stadium which Giggles could play with afterwards.





I don't love the mess of more toys being added to the house but I do love the looks on my boys' faces when they get just what they wanted.







One more friend party to go for this year. Not surprisingly Wannabe has still not made his mind up. I anticipate several more revisions to his plans before May.
