A Very Happy "Unbirthday" to Us!

It was a very happy "Unbirthday" to us on Wednesday when we met up with a bunch of our favorite people at the park. We made mad hatter hats, and then had a "tea" party (complete with Kool Aid and treats).


The hats were made from large white paper bags (an idea I stole from the Arizona Museum for Youth). I had originally planned a way to decorate them that involved paint and bubbles, but after testing it out with Melanie, found it wouldn't work. Thank goodness I brought colors and stickers as well!

Okay, this little boy is the son of my friend Jennifer, and I just LOVE this face, ha ha!

Here they are enjoying their treats after all the hard work went into their hats (not all the kids actually wanted to WEAR their hats, but that's okay, it was still fun and yummy)

Here are my little nephews. Aren't they studs?
And Chloe (Jennifer's little girl) She is just too adorable.
Baby Lacey even made an appearance!
After the "tea party" it was a free for all at the park. I love this park. It's over looked by people because it's not in a neighborhood, and you can't see it from any main roads. I think it's perfect.
The tire swing was a huge hit.
And then it was time for everyone to go. This was, of course, when I realized I had lost my keys and wouldn't be going ANYWHERE. *sigh*. I never found them. I suppose someone will find them while digging for gold. It may be their buried treasure. Luckily it was my spare and didn't have all my miscellaneous keys on it (like the mailbox key), but it did have my pass to the Arizona Museum for Youth. Perhaps that it was I get for stealing their craft ideas. ha ha!
Well, all in all, it was a really fun time. I hope everyone had a very happy "Unbirthday".

Clara loves her hat. Isn't copying an idea the highest form of flattery? My mom used to tell me that. :)

Sorry about the keys. Bummer.

You are such the funnest mom, evar! What a great party idea and turnout. Sorry we couldn't make it. And more sorry that you lost your keys :( Know anyone with a metal detector? That could be a new fun activity for the kids at the park.
