Sadie's 3rd b-day party was a huge success (despite rain cold weather, and runny noses) these monkeys came from Lupine (thank you!) and I must remember to let Sadie actually play with them and not just pose them around the house. **update: you can get them here!
some favors that were stuffed in the goddie bags (which I did sew, filled with these, wooden animals, lizards, a sucker and some stickers)
Here's the not homemade cake. Thank god I came to my senses and bought one. When the cake was bought out a baby/child riot broke out. I have never seen cake disappear so fast.
What I didn't photograph (was too busy videotaping) was during 1/2 hour of dry weather we played with a huge (HUGE!) parachute which required almost every adult because it was so super big. the kids loved it. seeing kids play under/on parachutes almost makes my cry! it's so amazing how happy it makes them. really really fun.
