Lego of your Plans...it's Birthday Time!

That was the cheesy header I had to refrain from using on Little Man's 6th Birthday invitations. He has been all about the Legos ever since my fave-o-fave hubby dug his old Legos out of storage for the boys. We have about 3.2 million of them (perhaps a wee bit of exaggeration) and I don't know who loves them more, the Irish hubby or his handsome Little Men. But, since my hubby already had his big 30th birthday bash in February, Little Man chose the Lego theme for his birthday first (and a 31 year old doesn't usually have toy or action hero themed birthday parties anyhow...!)!

I'm ruminating on lots of fun ideas for the Lego party, particularly in the cake, decorating, and food arenas. I'm counting on my hubby to come up with loads of clever games, though I think we must build a Lego pinata because it would be pretty easy for sure.

Here is what I came up with for the invites...more on the exact details of the other papers soon.

I was hoping to find cute Lego papers, but since I really procrastinated on these (shh, don't tell Little Man!), I didn't have time to order any online. I am thrilled with how they came out and excited to show you the rest tomorrow, including the homemade envelopes! 

Baby Love!

No, I'm not having another baby. I just got back from a baby shower for a gal at church who just had her sixth child. A BOY! After five gorgeous girls. Her children are among the most lovely and sweet I've seen, so she should have 100 while she's at it.

I got to hold the tiny baby bundle of blue and it was simply heaven on earth. I love that baby smell and the noises and the jerky baby motions and how their little bottoms are so tiny. Heaven.

Whew. I better stop thinking about it. If I WERE to have another baby, I would definitely throw a party with this theme that I saw on a favorite blog (Hostess with the Mostess): A Reveal the Gender party! Check it out, it's SO fun! The couple made cupcakes that they placed a blue or pink gumball in---when everyone bit into their cupcake, they found out the gender! They also asked their guests to wear a blue or pink shirt to represent their "guess"! Isn't that a fun idea?
