Birthday parties

[britbratjf]

So we decided to have Dagnys birthday party at our house. We are going to have it catered so food is taken care of. I'm thinking set up our big kiddie pool (it's a large one) and sprinkler, do chalk/lawn paint & then have the kids decorate a flower pot then send them home with the pot & some seeds. Does this sound like a good activity list? Do you think kids will like the flower pot thing? (Pretty even split between girls & boys).

I think that sounds great and has way more activities than we are planning. If you wanted you could even get a bag of dirt and have them plant the seeds.

I think that sounds fun! We did a piñata last year and that was fun too. Otherwise the kids just like playing with toys, using the kiddie pool and coloring.

Ha well I was just going to just do the water stuff & chalk then thought maybe I should have some type of craft? I thought about having them plant but figured the pots would be wet from paint. But maybe this is too much for a 2 hour party.

Sounds like a fun party! I think it would be fun to plant the seeds there, but agree it would be tricky with wet paint. Ooh, you should have some dirt for them to eat! The pudding, oreo, and gummy worm kind!

I'm having a small party for D at our house and am thinking of sprinkler, water balloon, bubbles, and cupcakes.

I think that sounds like a great party! I like the flower pot idea.

We are also just doing a small party at our house. We'll set up the kiddie pool, sprinkler, and we're getting a bounce house. Nothing crazy but it'll allow the kids to run around.

Sounds good to me. Our children's church did the flower pot thing for a Mother's Day gift last year and it was cute.
