Party Prepping

Hard to believe that in almost a month Aiden will be one!! OMG! So in a previous post I declared Bob the Builder was the theme. So I've begun prepping by buying all the decoration and gifts this month, so we are only hit with the food bills for that month. I'm getting excited! I finished the invitations tonight (edited version online) and just have the thank you cards left.

Let me tell you it is nearly impossible to find party supplies, we are going primary colors. Red, Yellow, Orange, Blue. I did manage to find a banner and some balloons. I'm going to make some construction signs and cones. Thank you Dollar Tree!

Found some cute ideas for food:
*Lofty's grilled tires (burgers)
*Toy Truck full of dirt (brownies) and grass (coconut dyed green)
*Lumber (pretzels)
*Red paint and woodchips (salsa and chips)
*Carpenter pencils (carrots)
*Saw, hammer, screwdriver cookies, thanks to the cookie cutters I got

I love the gifts we got him. 1. A little work bench toy. Aiden's gonna be like his Grande. lol 2. Outfits 3. Big boy items...which made me tear up. 4 sippy cups without handles and 2 sets of his very own fork and spoon. Hard to believe he will be using them soon. He is just growing up toooo fast!!

  3. Ashley-It's definitely a boy party if he were older we would be digging and building things. :-)

    Allison-Thanks! I know it makes sad to think how fast its gone by! It feels like just yesterday I was holding him in the hospital. Sad!
