I am high into the planning for Zach's second birthday party. Last year the theme was A Year of Firsts. This year it is Construction. In early November, my friend Beth asked if I had even started planning his party. I was shocked at that accusation and said "Of course! I have a PowerPoint deck with links to all the ideas and items I need!" It just would have been totally weird to start doing stuff back in September when I created it. Not weird that I created it...just weird to start THAT early.
I am currently working on:
- The Happy Birthday Zach sign
- Goodie bags
- Construction tape table runner
- Construction signage for the event
I am BEYOND excited. This is what I live for. Crafts! For a reason! I fear my work is suffering as I google "construction truck images" and scour blogs for other ideas.
Here is Zach trying on the personalized hard hats. I am not pleased with the name tag - put that on my list.
As an aside, this is not his shirt. He was sent home in it because
he did not have a jacket and they "thought" it was his.
Duly noted teachers; I am a bad mother.
I went out that day and got him 3 jackets just to be safe.
I had to bribe him with watching Barney to put the hat on.
I can't wait to see what the party is going to look like! So jealous of all your creative skills. I am sure Zach is going to LOVE it!!! Wish we could be there.
ReplyDeleteI just snagged three kids size 3 to 6 "construction" Halloween costumes at Tuesday Morning (complete with hard hat, vest and tools). Maybe we can use them to decorate the porch or the front yard? Love, Granny Marsh
ReplyDeleteI too am jealous of your creative skills...I'm glad we are going to be able to make it this year even if we are going to be a little late...I can totally relate to the jacket situation. funny.
