Thatcher had a pretty fun birthday this year!
His birthday fell on a school day, so we took cupcakes into his class and he loved being the birthday boy that day, and loved being the center of attention while we celebrated with his class.
That next Saturday we had his birthday party.
He wanted an Lego Indiana Jones themed party this year.
It was fun putting the party all together and having several friends come over for the fun.
We sure love our sweet Thatch. He has grown into such a great helper and has always been such a smart little cookie. He really is six going on sixteen as he loves to inform me on how to do things, and I especially love it when he tells me how to drive! We are SO grateful to have Thatcher in our family and we just love him to bits!
Ms. Hodges and Thatcher as the Kindergarten class sang "Happy Birthday".

First part of the treasure hunt,
The Mummy Wrap...
Second part of the treasure hunt,
Croc Lake.
They had to walk on the beam and pick up a "grenade" and throw it at the crocs!
Third part, Gas Relay.
They had to empty the bad guys "gas tanks" and fill the buckets up with "gas".
Fourth part, gross palace banquet.
The kids had to reach into the covered bowls and feel the Monkey Brains aka Cold Spaghetti, Eyeball Soup aka Peeled Grapes in Water, and Snake Guts aka Red Jello.
They were so grossed out!
Finally they found the Treasure and we dumped it all over the grass for them to gather it up!
Cupcake and Ice Cream time!
Love that in March we could do so much outside in our backyard!
