Oh what a headache this all was... but I am going to document.
We pushed Brig's party back a week cause his parents were sick, only to have the party fall at the end of a pretty good cold for Brig. It was pouring rain that day, but I knew if we changed the party again, it wasn't going to happen, and true to form, this party has been on my mind and 80% planned since January.
So fair warning to all the parents of Brig's cold, and a train party we had!
We did a morning party and really only invited Brig's toddler friends.
So we provided all Brig's favorite snacks for the toddlers:
strawberries, honey oh's, blueberries, yogurts, and cheeeese.
(I also fed the adults salad out of cute take-out containers. no picture)
We set up a coloring station, which no one touched.
Had party hats, which no one wore.
Had a bagillion mini cupcakes, which didn't get finished.
It was an incredibly rough party for this little man.
He had woken up at about 5:00 am and fallen asleep on the couch next to daddy watching Toy Story at 9:00 am. He was then awoken by his first guest at 10:00 am and pretty much cried for the first 30 minutes of his party.
The main entertainment for the party was a cardboard train meant for "imaginative play"
Darling husband stayed up late the night before making this ridiculous dream come true.
It was however, a hit :)
And I never got a real picture of it :(
After a dozen or so cupcakes, Brig's favorite nursery workers arrival, and a few gifts opened, he was a party guy.
My last two cents:
Hosting and photographing do NOT work together :( I did go to a bit of work and there were a lot of cute things going on during the party but I was who knows where and now we have no pictures....
We are chalking this one up as a great success though. He had about 8 of his toddler friends join us on this rainy morning and by 12:30 this momma checked off one of the most important boxes on the before baby arrives list.
Sure love that two year old, train loving boy of mine.
So, so cute....and I'm trying not to be offended that all the projects you had me working on were a flop! j/k :)
ReplyDeleteNext time have darling husband stick around just to be the photographer. It looks like a success and so much fun. XOXO
