What a long boring day at work. I worked from 8 to 6 today, and was glad to get home to Austin and Bill. Bill and I have opposite days off for babysitting purposes- and my Mom and Grandma watch Austin the rest of the days while we are at work. Anyway, Saturday is Austin's birthday- my little man will be 4 sniffle sniffle. He is getting too big too soon. We are having family and a few friends over to celebrate his birthday- it is going to be...... you guessed it Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed. I sent out MMCH invitations, bought the themed plates and everything, and am decorating my house in the bright colors from the show. I am also attempting to make his cake this year- do you think I can do it- we'll see I'll keep you posted.
So far, this is our menu:
Meatballs/rolls
Macaroni Salad
Spinach dip
Veggie tray/dip
Pepperoni/Cheese/Cracker Tray
Chips and Dip
Cake
I took off from work this Thurs. and Fri. to get everything ready. So, I have a few kids coming ( 2 kids, 2 toddlers, 1 baby to be exact- but you know, there is always more). So, last week, we took Austin to Party City to pick out his own party favors!!! Let me tell you, we had so much fun-he really picked some cute stuff. I didn't want to give a bunch of cheap nonsense in a bag so this is what we did- and it was pretty inexpensive. (Hint Hint- you can even keep this stuff in mind for MMCH night!!). Party City has this big round bin with many sections in it filled with different favors in it from .25 - .50 cents a piece. We bought 6 of each item he picked which included:
Crazy Straws (in different colors)
those click clack things
little fuzzy bouncy balls
and I bought the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse favor boxes to put them in (you get 4 for 3.99)- they are so much cuter and sturdier than regular loot bags
Then, we headed over to the Dollar Tree- ours has LOTS of Disney stuff- I picked up a 6 pack of magic doh (like playdoh), Mini MMCH puzzles (they come in a 2 pack- they are sooo cute), those punch balloons with the rubberbands on the end like you get from the carnival, a pack of Reese cups, Hersey bars, and kit kats.
So, that brings me to what I did tonight. After Austin went to bed- I was on a mission. First, was to get those party favors done. Don't worry I took lots of pictures- I really need to get some on here !!! So, I came up with the greatest idea. A few weeks ago when I was doing the invitations, I bought these square MMCH Stickers to put on the back of the invites. I had extra, so I replaced the "Magic doh" label with the MMCH sticker- so it now looks like MMCH play doh!!! It looks adorable . I showed Bill and told him that I cannot wait to show my DIS friends- and he thinks I'm nuts. I placed everything neatly in the MMCH boxes and let a crazy straw stick out of the top side of each. They really turned out great.
I think I just may have to do something similar for MMCH night. I recommend the mickey "magic doh" and the little puzzles as an activity for that night. They also sell coloring books and all sorts of other MMCH things.
After my favors, I decided to wrap Austin's presents from Mommy and Daddy. Would you believe that I used every inch of that Toy Story wrapping paper? My Grandma had also asked me to wrap hers- so I need to either get a large bag, or more wrapping paper. I may just go with the bag because they have really cute ones from Party City.
Well, that was my night. I still have so much more to do before this Party on Saturday- I will keep everyone posted- as for now, I am going to bed. Have a great night all!!
