Planning the big bash

The planning continues...

We are definitely going with the Barnyard theme. So much fun!!   

I have all these plans and ideas but seeing as we are three weeks away...I need to start limiting my ideas and just acting on my thoughts/plans!!  I have too much searching for projects, but never actually do any of them (although I want to).   For example, I wanted to do animal cupcakes.  Realistically will I have time?  I am just adding stess to myself on a day that doesn't warrant additional stress. 

The invites are out and I am happy on how they came out!

Now I have to go order plates, hats, napkins, tablecloths…favors.   We have some contenders but I can't decide.  Sometimes I get ahead of myself with all the details. Indecision is my middle name. Time to get cracking with the details....

According to a Party Checklist I found (from other organized bloggers) I am feeling way behind.  There is still so much to do according to Another Checklist  I found!
It will all come together in the end. I love seeing all the parties from other bloggers. Some go all out and some keep it simple. I'm thinking we are going to be in the middle. Just the size of the party will keep it from being simple...but I don't want to go over board either. I can't wait!! (What? Really?).

I'm trying to remember this party is for Anderson and for his Mommy and Daddy! We have survived and thrived this past year...it's time to celebrate! 

I also can't believe Anderson is a year old already (or going to be soon). I am sad and happy at the same time. I really cherished this past year and I really tried to in live in the moment with him…(and I let other things slip like house cleaning, other obligations, gym, etc).  I don't regret any of it.  Not much I would do differently (of course there are some things but overall I am happy).  Overall its been wonderful being a mom. What a bitter sweet time...watching the last momemts of infantcy, and the new adventures of toddlerhood emerging.   I love Anderson so much!!
