For Tommy’s birthday, he and his band of 13 other brave men quested to complete 9 labors for glory, honor, and cupcakes.
Labor One: Create shields using duct tape. (Perfect for using up old packing boxes!)
Labor Two: Fight the evil one-eyed cyclops monster using only their swords. (Cyclops ended up flying away in terror…)
Labor Three: Free team flags from their frozen enchantments. (I’d been planning on having them use super soakers to melt the ice, but the boys decided it was more fun to hurdle the ice chunks around until they broke apart.)
Labor Four: Play Capture the Flag with rescued flags. (Thankfully, a few of the other boys had read Percy Jackson, too, and made the tenuous connection to Greek Mythology.)
Labor Five: Defeat Medusa by pulling the (balloon) snakes off her head without being frozen. (We honestly could have played freeze tag all afternoon.)
Labor Six: Destroy the skeleton army. (Derek made the pinata himself. I’m never paying for one again!)
Labor Seven: Feed Cerberus (heads created with cones) bocce balls to sneak into the Underworld.
Labor Eight: Win Olympic glory with discus hurling.
Labor Nine: Feast on pizza!
Conclusion: Sing to the birthday boy and enjoy the well-earned cupcakes.
Such a creative party!!
What fun! Kudos on getting all that organized! I suppose it was a Freudian slip that I initially read that as Tommcycles.
