Dragons Love Tacos

In our house we read this book at least once a week –   Dragons Love Tacos
The boys love it and we now have taco night at least once a week as a result. So when it came time to plan Malcolm’s party I decided to combine dragon and tacos, two things the boys love. 
We of course needed sweets. We got a yummy rainbow cake with marshmallow frosting and loads of sprinkles. I put this cake out and Malcolm immediately grabbed a spoon and walked over, trying to jump up and grab a bite. Needless to say, he was a big fan!

We hung up loads of balloons and dragons. And made some yummy tacos. We had slow cooked tacos, flank steak tacos and yummy corn salsa. Not to mention beans, salsa and purple local rice!  It was definitely my favorite food at a birthday party we hosted ever.

The hit of the party was a face painter, who painted arms (as someone who hates washing off face paint for days I was a huge fan) and was great at it.

I’m a little worried that this little one will be on his way to a full sleeve by 18….

Then this happened. I was finally convinced that we should have a pinata. But I felt like i won the battle by filling it with toys instead of candy. To quote Adam, ‘sneaky, sneaky mommy’.

Here is my directing kids away from the dangers of a pinata face….

While it may look disorganized, by the time this little one took the first swing everyone was on line and out of the way!

Adam has a pretty strong swing!

Everyone got one swing! Even the little ones.

After everyone had one swing I helped along the demise of the dragon and the toys were quickly gobbled up!

Next up, cake time! I guess you could say Malcolm was excited!

Adam’s best friend Henry came to the party and Malcolm was excited to play in the ball pit with him.

Malcolm even got into the painting and got a snake on his arm.

We had another birthday party that afternoon so we saved Malcolm’s present to open the next morning. After all two parties in one day takes a lot out of you.

We all woke up refreshed the next day!
