Party Gogo's Style

Ian celebrated his seventh birthday gogo's style. Gogo's are these tiny plastic characters that the boys at his school are crazy about. There are a kazillion of them in different shapes and colors and they each have a special name and "ability." You set them up and "battle" similar to jacks.

Here the boys are battling. You set your chosen gogo's on the line and then flick them across to knock down your opponents. They are all shaped differently so they spin, skip, and fly all over the place.

Look at the intensity...

...and fancy shooting moves!

Here they are trying to bounce a gogo into the bucket. No one could ever get one into the bucket, so we had to switch to a larger crate.

Our creative activity was making a carrying container for our gogo's. All gogo's packs come with stickers, which you can collect in an album, however, they decided to use them on their boxes.

Surprisingly, it was a huge hit!

The four-eyed monster Ian!

These boys were all in day care together as babies. So fun to see them still together seven years later, who says St. Louis isn't a small town!

Gogo's topped cookie cake - Yummo!

Blowing out the candles. Sidenote - I'm 24 weeks preggo in this picture.
