We have been talking with the kids about the their birthday party since just after Christmas. I like to get a theme down then, so I can start planning and searching for decorations, cake ideas, etc. This year, when we asked D & B about what kind of theme they would like, Bree picked cats (which became Hello Kitty) and Drew enthusiastically chose trucks. This will be the first year of separate themes for the kids. I am fine with that, because they are separate individuals after all, that just happen to be born on the same day. I pretty much had the party plans in place by the end of January. The invites were going to be the challenging part, as far as combining Hello Kitty with a truck, but alas I came up with something wonderful.
So while I was compiling the final pieces for making the invites (in my usual late fashion), Drew informs me that he now wants a fish party, like his "one fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish" shirt that we gave him for Valentines Day. Oh brother! I pleaded with him, "What about trucks. You love trucks, don't you?!?" He was not having it. I waited a day to see if this was just a passing fancy. Perhaps with a good night of sleep, he would forget all about the fish. No such luck. The next morning, I explained we had to get our invites out for the party, so we had to pick a theme and stick with it. He was still all about fish, so I threw my hands up in defeat and scrambled to come up with a fish / Hello Kitty themed invite.
We settled on doing a photo op to make a photo card to serve as the invite.
Bree was so cooperative. For a moment, I thought, "This is going to be easy after all."
Then came Drew's turn.
Oh buddy! When I got tired of taking pictures, I settled on these....
We picked up our photo cards then stopped home to address the envelopes and were off to the post office to drop them in the mail. Then, we rushed back home to plan a fish party for my truck party pooper!
