An Animal Rescuer Party

I mentioned last week how much I love party planning. I'm still not ready for little man's birthday-in 2 weeks. I'm starting to feel the stress. There are still decorations to make, present to buy, favors to find, a pinata to make, and the list goes on.

But, I thought I'd show you a little from last years party. Our theme was Animal Rescuers-a mix between Bindi the Jungle Girl and Diego.

For lunch we served roll up sandwiches, beef bbq, and sweet and sour meatballs. We had trail mix, chips, and pretzels to munch on, and ice cream, of course.

I'm not a game planner at all. I think it's easier just to put out activities that kids can do as they please. Last year's party was spent playing with our cat, finding treasures in the toy bins, and playing ball in the yard.

When they kid's left, they each got a favor bag containing crayons, a coloring book, stickers, homemade lollipops, animal crackers, and a few other small items. The few older kids who came received animal print notebooks and pens.

All in all, it was a big success. Check back later in the week to see our other themes from years past!
