Here are some pictures of Lawrence's third birthday party. We held the big event at our house. It was a Bug Party, and Lawrence's friends from preschool and playgroups were invited. About six friends came, which was perfect.
Here are the kids in the last hour before the guests arrived:
Lawrence has on his new third birthday shortall.
I made these caterpillar cakes for the occasion (there are two here). I hope everybody is impressed with my obvious cake-making skills! Ha ha, actually, it's really easy - just take a bunt cake, cut it in half and put the ends together to make an S. I do think I did a really mean job on the icing, though.
When the guests arrived, we had lots of activities planned. First, we made bugs out of styrofoam balls, colored toothpicks, paint, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes.
Then we played Pin The Bug On The Spiderweb.
(Apparently I did not get the memo that the Mom dresscode for the day was jeans and a black top.)
During the games, we had some sharing issues. Catherine was not being good about sharing her dolly stroller.
Then we had cake!
It was good!
Even the Catherines had some.
Then the kids played with toys, and we got some chairs together to play musical chairs.
(Still eating cake.)
Turns out three years old is still too little to play musical chairs the right way. So we added an extra chair so that everyone could have a place to sit down and no one got "out." Amazingly, just walking around to the music and sitting down when it stopped (with no pressure to get a chair) was exceedingly entertaining!
Still sulking.
Better now!
The party was a big hit and everyone had a good time.
After the party, we went to the Hobby Farm for dinner. There were a couple of horses out in the paddock, and a nice lady let the boys pet them and feed them grass. Lawrence was much braver than Everett.
So that was a nice way to cap off the day. Happy Birthday, Buppy!
