where the wild things are party

first, i want to thank you all for your nice comments on the invitations, and party favors i posted.the party went really well, and most importantly ezra and all his cousins had a blast!this year, i served more simple food, and focused more on the games and entertainment, since ezra is starting to get to the age where fun is more important.here are a few pictures from the party.

crown walk : we put the gold crown numbers in a circle, when the music stopped we would call out a number, and the person on the number won a prize!we also had a reading of the book at the beginning of the party. and, the small guests helped act out the book.
“thank you” mints for the older guests that said, “thanks for coming to the party … wild thing.” and, of course the party favor boxes for the kidswhere the wild things are cake the birthday boy of course, i can’t believe this little guy is three?!

globes, a shelf, and a rocking chair …

April 7, 2010

Photobucketas i said before, we just finished our basement.

i’m still organizing and trying to get everything in its place.

over the weekend we finally were able to get to ikea to pick up an expedit shelf to organize all of our toys. it was fun for me to finally put up all my globes i’ve been collecting over the past three years. i also was able to pick up a modern rocker that i’ve been wanting forever. [thanks caitlin!]

i quickly threw all the toys up on the shelf. so, i’m sure it will change a bit, but it’s really nice to have it all in one area. now, if it would only stay organized. but, with these two kids… that’s just not going to happen.

Photobucketoh well, can’t have it all right?

as far as other things going on, i’m in deep party planning mode for ezra’s party this weekend.

i’ve been re-labeling just about everything.

Photobucketcaitlin sent me over a label from her son’s party last year that i tweeked a bit to match ezra’s party, so that really helped speed up the process!

i’ll share more pics of the planning tomorrow!
