Birthday Planning

Oye, I can not believe that we are planning for C's 2nd birthday already!! Or should I say I can't believe I'm replanning everything lol...I had picked out the theme, decorations, cake, games, etc. etc. And then the birthday girl decides she doesn't care all that much for the theme we had picked out...oh no, Yo Gabba Gabba is just okay now, what she Really loves is...

And so we enter the planning phase (again) :) soooooo glad I hadn't started making anything lol. And while YGG would have been tough to get decorations etc. for it wasn't anywhere near as impossible as Bubble Guppies lol. This show hasn't even been running for a year now and so there isn't really anything you can buy to go with the theme.

Luckily enough though Nickelodeon has some awesome free printables so it shouldn't be too hard to DIY everything :)

For food we are going to have Macaroni and Trees, Hot "dogs" and, "spring" rolls :) every episode they do a funny take on a food item, these are the three that I think I can replicate pretty easily :)...There will also be goldfish crackers (of course!) and we are going to do melon "bubble" balls and probably chocolate covered fruits (like bananas and kiwis to keep with the circular bubble theme lol) and maybe even some cake bubble pops...we'll see once I actually start making everything...

As for games, I am planning on making a Fishketball Game (with the help of M of course) which is actually just a bean bag toss game with a fancy name :)

Ideas for the Cake...

For the Birthday girl to wear...going to see if I can DIY something like this, probably wont come out as nice though, but we will see :)

For Decorations...going to hang balloons from the ceiling to look like bubbles... (the plus to this? we don't have to buy another helium tank...the one we bought last year is still sitting in the garage since we have no idea what to do with it.)

Cute little decoration...How old is C? 2 Years!! That's 24 Months! :) love the learning.

Ideas for Goodie Bags...

So add all that to our DIY Christmas (umm yeah, thats another post all together though...) and I got lots to do in the next month and a half...hopefully it gets all done and done well!!

And for those of you who would like to see it, here is the link to the pin board with Ideas for A's first birthday...we did Cupcakes for C, we are doing Ice Cream cones for A :) have to make them different!!
