Party Time!


Last weekend Parker was invited to a friend's birthday party.  I taught with the mom, Ashley, at my first school, so it was awesome getting to see her.  Her daughter was turning 3, so the party was a farm theme.  The party was outside and they had some farm activities for the kids to do.  We also got to make real butter, by shaking a jar filled with liquid.  The activity was supposed to be for the kids to shake the jar, but all the adults ended up with the jar and did most of the shaking!  It was a great day for a party - in the 80s, when previous days it had been in the 90s.  We couldn't have asked for a better day - especially in July!

Parker found the tool bench and he was pretty fascinated by all the tools. 

However, his favorite was the John Deere mower - go figure!!



Cow cupcakes - too cute!!  Neither Parker nor I ate one, but they sure were cute!

Cow bags for the party favors.  Ashley is an elementary teacher, so she really put her creative touch on these bags! 

We stayed almost 2 hours at the party and Parker was exhausted!  He had been on the go for 2 solid hours, and it was getting close to bed time, so it was definitely time to go!  He almost fell asleep on the way home and when we got home, he got a bath and drank some milk, then he curled up on the floor and was trying to go to sleep.  Needless to say he slept like a rock that night!
