Isaac Turns 2!

Isaac's Second Birthday Party!! 

It never ceases to amaze me how fast time passes. My first born is already a terrible two year old! I mean, a wonderful two year old! He is a handful, but he an explorer. Not only is he my first born, but he will always be my baby. I went through all of the firsts with him, and I was totally thatttt Mom.. Nervous, worried what everyone thought, a stickler, and stressed about every cough! He is my little miracle man, and he was brought into this world surrounded by angels. 

We had a blast! Here are a couple of ideas if you plan to do a Under the Sea, Sailor, or anything water related. We kept it low budget, simple, and fun! We used resources that we had around the house, and things that wouldn't be the end of the world if they got ruined. 

USS Issac was a Diaper Box!! All I did was use the inside, and taped it together. From there, I just painted paper plates, and taped them on. The gorilla glue didn't work. :-( 
The background is cray paper. I simply twisted it and taped it up. It created our underwater scene! 



This is my youngest son and my sister enjoying the picture section. 



We kept the spread very low maintenance. We had a build your own nacho/burrito/taco bar. Above we have veggies and a variety of hummus. 


We bought Isaac's cake from a local organic bakery called Happy Bellies. It was a banana cake with a chocolate frosting. It was perfect!!


When planning a party keep it simple!! The more you have to do, the more stressed you will be. I knew if I overdid it, I would be upset when the kids destroyed the decorations.
