the party.......
Jack waiting for his friends to arrive
when they all arrived we sang Old McDonald and played duck duck goose (or tried to with a bunch of 2 year olds it was a little tough)then we let the pigs out of their pen! pink piggie balloons with curly tails! the kids loved playing with them!
then we took pictures with the photo op
and played egg toss
the kids went on pony rides (I told Luke if we were getting any sort of income right now at all we would be having real pony rides :) )
then we made "cream" with the cow's milk (mason jars full of vanilla instant pudding that the kids shook till it was set up) Jack had a lot of fun shaking the jar!
then we sang to Jack and let him blow out the candles
and the kids clapped for him
then we ate
and smiled for the camera
and we even welcomed Jack into his terrible twos!
and then we said goodbye and I sat on the couch!we had such a fun party with Jack's friends! I had so much fun planning this party! I told Luke it was meant to be (finding all the cute decorations on ebay for way cheap, Target having a farm section in their dollar section right now, and finding lots of fun ideas from the internet) getting to plan fun things like this is one of the things I love about being a mom! although it was a little crazy at times with 10 crazy kids all in all it was a good time! thanks to all of Jack's friends for coming and sharing this special day with him!
p.s. a special thanks to luke for putting up with all my craziness and being so willing to help me out! I love you babe! My mom was sure he was going to leave me after this party!
