Just catching up on some blogging!!
This past weekend I realized that we had less than a month to plan Alex's birthday party! I had all these great and cute ideas for decorations and keepsakes but, unfortunately, with his party only 3 weeks away, I won't be able to do much of anything.
When I realized I only had 3 weeks I quickly ran to Party City to get invitations. Of course the invites that I wanted (that I saw online) were not available in the store so I had to settle for something else. Still along the same theme -- but the set that I really wanted emphazised the # 1 for being a first birthday.
I made my first etsy purchase and I'm hoping that Alex's Birthday shirt will fit him well :o)
Besides food I just have a few more things to get together for the party. Since his birthday is in the middle of hot August, I plan on getting some kiddie pools set up for any kids who may attend! If it rains, then yikes, we will be out of luck...
I just hope I don't get too stressed with transporting everything needed for the party. We are having it at Alex's grandma's house which has plenty of space. I can't wait for the day that we can move into a new house with actual space for entertaining. I would love to have his party at our house but let's face it, we don't even have a kitchen table to put food onto. So frustrating to even cook dinner considering I have to use the top of the stove, the small counter space, and many times the kitchen stool just to set up. But let me stop venting and just be grateful that we do have a home and a roof over our heads!!!
Tonight I plan on ordering the cake!! Can't wait for that part of his birthday party!! He is pretty adventurous so I bet we get a good show...
Other than planning his birthday we are just looking forward to the future of finding affordable child care. Looking around at our options and hope we can figure something out soon!
Looking forward to the weekend -- and just hoping that my teething baby gives me some relief with his new stage of fighting sleep!!!
