This week my Monday Fun-Day thing is party planning! I know its not everyone's thing but it is mine! I love to plan, coordinate, delegate(if I have to), and execute a good party or event. I guess its my upbringing as a "carnie" coming out in me! (I guess I haven't written much about that... I might have a post about it later.)
Anyway, Joe's 1st birthday was on Saturday and we're going to be having a family only party this coming weekend to celebrate and have a time of prayer together specifically about Joe and his developmental problems. Not that Joe really knows the difference but I thought it'd be fun for Nate and his cousin if it was a familiar theme. We're doing Curious George. I found a few cute little Curious George toys at Target in the dollar section which I love by the way. I've been on the PBS Parents website and they have tons of cool printables and ideas for kids parties using characters from their shows. Nate and I have spent the morning coloring print outs from the website. And I found this cute monkey cake video on BHG.com the other day that I'm going to attempt to do! I'm sure I'll do a post with pix from the party later so you all can see how everything turns out!

Okay, I am commenting. I love you and am so glad that you are having a party with family and allowing them to pray For Joe. I know it has been scary/overwhelming to answer well meaning questions. I love you so much and Isaac, Nate, and Joe too! I really want to see how the monkey cake goes! I think you need to win the lottery and come visit me in Peru! :)
I LOVE planning parties, too! I hope that your Curious George party goes well! If you need something in addition to the cake, you can get little mini-banana split boats from Sonic for super cheap, and then you could make banana splits!
Happy first birthday to Joe!
Thanks for stopping by my blog! You ended up on my Ten Things Tuesday rather than MondayFunday (wonder if I need to change my link?. Anyway...glad you ended up on a post that is near and dear to me! I hope that you'll come back and join in with ten things of your own! It's up every Tuesday, but you can participate on any day! I won't close the links until the next Tuesday!
You are hired to plan all my parties :) !!
This sounds like it should be a lot of fun.
Let us know how the party goes!
