Ingredients for Kent's art party
Fabric crayons for drawings that iron onto tote bags:
Homemade playdough and an assortment of cookie cutters, rollers, and found objects:
Handpainted thank-you notes, containing recipe for playdough:
Mocha cupcakes, with sprinkles and crazy glitter icing:
"Happy Birthday to You" and a "3" candle:
Sidewalk chalk, even though it's dang hot:
Party food, including the birthday boy's favorite chicken nuggets and pretzels
A post-party rest (this was *after* his post-party nap, by the way):
And a friend without young kids to help out... this may be the most important ingredient of all! Thanks, Linda!
I'm blogging the party because I'm avoiding clean-up. The house isn't nearly as messy as I had thought it might be, but I definitely don't have the mental energy to tackle the playdough table yet. It was a major success, though. And I daresay Kent had an awesome time with his friends. I really loved planning this party and helping him celebrate.
I think I might need a beer to celebrate the facts that he's nearly 3 (next week), I'm still alive, and I'm not a crazy person. Yet.
(a thousand thanks to Amanda and Jean for the inspiration)
