Ugh... It's 3:18 and I am wide awake. I am so annoyed. Good thing I only have one day of work left! While I'm up, I thought I'd do a quick post on this superfun magazine I got in the mail. February is all about birthdays for us in the J household with M and JJ being exactly a week apart (well, a week and 27 years...). HOPEFULLY Mr. Man decides to make March a fun birthday month too! I swear March can be fun baby boy! Hang in there!
Anyways! The magazine is called "Birthday Express" and it is filled with way fun birthday party supplies. Check out birthdayexpress.com to see for yourself. I especially love the wall decals that could be used even after the party! I got tons of ideas, and then JJ said I bet KC has a few good party supply stores. So yesterday when M and I had cabin fever and needed to get out of the house, we frequented one such store. There we were, roaming the aisles with nothing better to do than make M the happiest two year old ever.
haha, it was more like WHAT do you like?! Princesses? Fairies? My Little Ponies like your toothpaste? How about Dora -- you love dancing to your DVD from Uncle W and S? Hello Kitty? You've kind of started liking Elmo and Abby Cadabby... Way, way, way too many choices -- and seriously I've NEVER been good at making decisions and while pregnant I am downright hopeless. The one thing M DID respond to was the M&Ms in the candy aisle. Wait a second! M&Ms! That could be cute! And easy! Just think -- easy cupcake decorating... easy tableware and accessories... easy invitations I could make! Woohoo! AND M&Ms for M!
So, that sealed the deal. We are superexcited to have my parents coming down to celebrate M's big day with us. It just didn't seem right to not be able to celebrate with family and I'm so grateful to my parents for making the big sacrifices they are to drive down here! We also decided that we'd invite two families over to celebrate with us - I wish we could invite a whole slew of friends for an extravagant party - but desert and cute kiddos running around will have to do for this year.

Yeah, I try to have the kids decide on a theme without any suggestions - there are just too many options!
But I totally love the M&M's idea. Take lots of photos, and maybe we should try to skype?
What does Miss M want for her big day?
Sounds like the perfect party! I know people who go all out for kids' birthday's and it just seems silly to me. Food and family is what it's really about for us. Anyhow, I have been thinking about Rylan's birthday and he told me he wanted racecars that jump over bananas on his cake. So it might be a racecar driving monkey theme! Haha!
