Kade’s birthday was also an Uzbek Independence Day holiday, which meant that there was no school and Jared had the day off work. :) Perfect! We had a few of Kade’s friends over for a Scooby Doo party. It started off a little rough, as we soon realized that three of his four friends (a Japanese boy, Korean girl, and American boy born and raised overseas) had never even heard of Scooby Doo. So we sat them down in the living room and watched a cartoon for about 15 minutes to give them the idea. After the cartoon, everyone was hungry, so we took them to the kitchen for birthday cake...only to find the cake missing! And so the mystery began. With games like Find Missing Daphne (Sardines with Scooby Snack --dog-bone shaped sugar cookies I made--rewards), Practice chasing the villian (Duck, Duck, Goose), Find Velma’s glasses, and Wrap up like a Mummy (two teams wrap up a person in toilet paper--practice for disguises), we had a great time! The highlight for me was our Malt Shoppe. We surprised Kade with a chocolate fountain (the only thing he really wanted for his birthday) with cherries (got ripe just in time!) and Korean strawberries (imported so no risk of getting sick) and bananas. The kids absolutely loved it! Then they divided into teams to make the tallest sandwiches with bread, peanut butter, cheese, and a bunch of fruit/veggie/chip toppings. Everyone had a blast, and we got some great pictures! Nobody ate much, though...I think they were too full of chocolate-dipped fruit. Then they captured the villain (Christoff in a black cloak with a Halloween mask) and had the cake. It was a lot of fun!
