Getting Ready for the big TWO

So its about to be Ms Brittany's 2nd Birthday!!! She is pretty excited about it. Today Jeff actually sat down and thought out some birthday games and activities. I got excited, Brittany was excited...



And Kade was pretty thrilled. LOL



Of course there will be pin the flag on the mailbox. I printed out some Blues Clues characters and the actual game you can print online and Jeff took it to work and blew it up so it would be big enough for all the little ones to get a fair share at pinning the flag on the mailbox. There will be like around 17 kids and since there's five flags we will have to split it up by 5 people at a game and then we will have a pail and shovel filled with random party favors/ toys for the winner to stick his hand in and pick a prize. We will have it full so basically everyone will be able to pick a prize before they leave. Cool idea huh?




The ghoulie pack was not impressed.

Then there are my cookie cutters that I decided to just dye the cookie dough blue and then cut it out sparing me the trouble of icing them blue and making a mess. I will test this theory out this weekend. I have already made a couple of batches and they sure do look like dog treats! lol

Then we will use these washer boards that Jeff's mom made him for Christmas but instead of using the metal rings we will make a salt and pepper bean bag and let the kids have a contest of throwing them in the hole. Brittany did something similar at my Nanny's over the weekend and she got the hang of it pretty fast. I figure its will be a good little game all the kids could do. I need to just get some white and black fabric, draw cut and sew and fill with beans. We will also have the cotton candy machine and blues costume with Brittanys chair for photos. Face paintings and tons of food. WalMart makes a Blues Room cake we ordered the full sheet that feeds 100 people and will pick that up the night before. We have all the paper products Blues Room so it works out perfect. We are trying to figure out if we should actually do a game of "Blues Clues" but I really need a Steve.... so to speak. I can't necessarily be running around doing 50 things so I am gonna look for volunteers... lol

I got Brittany to try on her Birthday outfit Grandma, Jeff's Mom, made her. It fits good and she looks too cute. This is her cheese face. She doesn't quite understand that she will be TWO but she does have a vague idea about birthdays.

Princess cheese Birthday face!

Kade was so excited he had a small jump off to end the evening.

I got these hilarious shots of Brittany going down and up... LOL too funny.
