Bat Pooh

We had a birthday party for Macayla and Jacob on Saturday, June 2nd. Their birthdays are only a week apart and we decided to have it all together in our backyard. Jacob wanted “superhero” party but he couldn’t decide on which hero. So, we had several. We had Mutant Teenage Ninja Turtle plates and Spiderman cups and Superman napkins and so on. Macayla on the other hand had a Winnie the Pooh party. So we had two tables, one with heroes all over it and the other graced the gang from the hundred acre wood. We had a Winnie the Pooh cookie (the large chocolate chip cookie with Pooh drawn on it with icing) and a pull-apart cupcake cake with Spiderman icing and multiple action figures stuck in the top. The kids played on the swing set and had hotdogs and cake and rejoiced when the candy poured from the piñata. It was fun. But there was one thing missing in my opinion. This was a superhero and Pooh party. Batman is Jacob’s favorite hero and I suggested that we decorate the Winnie the Pooh cookie a little more. I suggested that we use black icing and draw a Batman mask and cape onto Pooh and we could call him “Bat Pooh.” Alas, the chocolate chips may be too reminiscent of guano! If you aren’t sure what guano is, just walk inside a cave infested with bats and see what they deposit on the cave floor! My wife was not keen on my idea. It was vetoed!
