Kid Party Questions

By

So I am sitting here starting to plan P's birthday. It is so fun and I am really excited about it. I really do want to make it a special day for him. Being that I have never been to a kids party (aside from when I was little) I have no clue what to plan for. So can you give me any tips?

I heard a good rule of thumb is however old they are turning, that is how many friends you should invite. So P will be turning 2, so that makes 2 friends. I think that makes sense, but he as 4 good friends that he knows really wells and asks to play with them everyday. Should I invite them all? Or should I stick with the 2? We will also have all the grandparents and great-grandparents here too.

Also, activities? Do I do any, or just let them play? I was thinking of doing a few simple things like coloring and stickers but pretty much just letting them run around.

Anyway, just curious of your thoughts, especially from those experienced party throwers. :)

Ooo, and this is our theme in case you have any awesome ideas. I already have a cake and a few ideas of my own, but I am always welcoming more!
Thanks!

I would invite all 4. Do one small activity... something to go with the theme. Or just something that parker loves to do.

For Macey's last party we did a scavenger hunt with only 3 clues, it was the perfect length and then at the end was a pull string pinata. That was it as far as planned activities went. They also did a lot of dancing in the balloons though.

Here's a link to my blog about Macey's 3rd b'day party, if you're interested.

What to pack . . .

By
So now that he really could come ANY DAY I figured it was probably time for me to pack my bag. I of course have one of those "What to bring" checklist, but I was wondering what your thoughts where. Is there anything you wish you had brought but didn't? Is there anything you would have died without if you hadn't brought it? I'm just so clueless! A few tips from you experienced mothers would be greatly appreciated!! I cant believe it is so close!!

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

No Use Crying Over Spilled Milk . . .

So being an emotional pregnant woman is definitely taking its tole on both me and Jeff (what a wonderful, patient, and understanding man he is). Saturday morning I was so excited because for the first time in weeks we actually had a morning together. I had planned to make us a delicious breakfast just like my dad always did for me. We had Eggs, Hashbrowns, and even Bacon; we were so excited. So I started cooking the bacon first, knowing it would take the longest. Then when I thought they were close to being done, Jeff started cooking the eggs and I threw on the hashbrowns. Well, needless to say, the eggs finished super fast and the others were not even close. And then to add more to my frustration the pan I was using for the hashbrowns was awful! Despite my many tablespoons of butter the entire thing was completely stuck! I switched pans in the middle to try to save them. In the meantime Jeff ate his eggs so they wouldn't get cold. I insisted on waiting so I could eat th...
