AHOY MATES - TWIN'S 2ND BIRTHDAY PARTY

Ships Ahoy for Owen and Hudson's 2nd Birthday Party

 

As usual, I had fun finding everything to fill the gift buckets. I monogrammed the towels with all the kids' names and put their initial on their chairs. The chairs were all outside waiting for them with their filled water bottles and sailor hats.

The backyard is all set for the chaos with the kids' chairs and bouncy balls

In lieu of balloons we used lanterns

The one thing I was not thrilled with is how the cakes turned out.

The writing bled the second I put it on the cake.

Guess there were mixed reviews from the birthday boys.

But I was happy with the cake pops

SUMMER TIME - GRAB A TOWEL

Don't know when or why I thought of doing this. Guess it was when I walked by the green striped and blue striped towels at Target and thought they'd be so cute for my twins if their names were on them. So home I went to sew.

Now it's my new little project. I need to get 2 made for my nieces' birthdays. I finished the one for our neighbor's birthday and had a slight tinge of "Oh, wouldn't it be fun to have a girl?" (something I only think when I am sewing girlie stuff).

I made Owen and Hudson's and then realized I should make one for Emmett. I didn't think he'd like it - since he obsesses about whether he's going to use his Lightning McQueen or Finding Nemo towel when we go to the pool. We'll see if he grabs this one for the pool this weekend.

I almost want to make one for myself. It's making me feel like summer is coming...that's for sure. I can't wait to see my three boys bundled up in their new towels.
