The last blog post until next week, this is. I promise. Hmmm.

What a day for a party!  It is 38 degrees outside (32 with windchill).  If I were still blogging from the Frozen North, that would be exciting news.   I am so excited for today's birthday party (to check this off my to-do list).   Last night I was up until 1 a.m. hanging up streamers and balloons and signs that say things like,


and

and

  and labeling the soda bottles with the label, "Yoda Soda" which are going to be half green Hawaiian Punch, and half Shasta Lime-Lemon Soda and "Yoda Soda Twist" which is half green Hawaiian Punch and half Shasta Grapefruit Zazz.


My goal for today:  Take pictures!  Take pics of the kids, friends, party decor, and of course the birthday boy. 

Super big thanks to Lisa for her party prep advice.  I've removed (and by "I've" I mean Danny) one couch, the piano, and the carpet, and a bunch of clutter from the living room.  I have also planned a couple more games. 



P.S.  I have a blogging name that I'm 87% sure I'll use for Baby A.  But I'm not going to tell you yet in case you have one to submit that I might like better.  I don't want to influence any suggestions.  So, click here to submit your name suggestion so you can be entered into the drawing as well.

What a fun party! I love all the cute touches you put into it. good luck with everything - I'm sure it will go great!

Sorry I don't have much to say about the breastfeeding dilemma. I'm personally all for formula if they don't even latch on anymore.

Happy Birthday Little Jedi!!

I hoe your party goes fantastic! I'm looking forward to your pictures.

I had to reschedule Kami's to today and even now I'm wondering if people will show. First we were rained out and now everyone is sick. Boo!

I like your "Yoda Soda" idea. Too fun!

Hope the party is a blast! In response to your question on my blog, I glued the buttons on. Sorry I left out that little detail. :-) I used a fabric type glue, for gluing a smooth surface to fabric. Have a great weekend!

Cool blog! I wish I knew more so I could give advice about the nursing.

Thanks for visiting me at the Old School.

That looks like it will be great fun (or was great fun)! You are so awesome, and I'm totally proud of you staying up so late. I'm glad you liked my suggestions too.
