Castle party

[valarltd]

So, Obi-Wan Chrisobi will be 10 in about 5 weeks. This gives me time to plan a birthday party. He wants a castle.

Now that Dollface is ensconced in the lavender bedroom (I got her border up today. Very pretty. It's called Florabunda and has lots of purple, yellow and pink flowers. Doesn't match her room but coordinates.), we have a whole formal living room going begging. PARTY ROOM!


So, my thought:
Tabards (24"x72" strips of cloth with neck-holes), with fabric paint to paint their charges on.
Shields (either plywood blanks or cardboard) to do with markers

A pinata dragon?
The Sword in the Stone or Robin Hood on the VCR
Chess tournament? (all his pals play)

The cake is castle shaped, of course

Dragon Kebabs for dinner (marinated chicken threaded with mushrooms, onion and maybe pineapple) Maybe "Build your own kebab?"
Apple pasties
Skewered veggies and fruit (little sword picks)

==; weh, I dont think that last comment went through. If it did, sorry, here it goes again.
when I was seven, I had a marzipan dragon for a birthday cake. And it had fruit-roll-up wings and rock-candy jewels and almond-sliver fangs. and talons.
And all we children were suitably impressed and fought over the wings.
