This might be my favorite kids' party to date- Lego Party! I was thrilled when my oldest requested a Lego party for his sixth birthday. I love all things Lego so I don't know who had more fun- me making the party or my six year old experiencing it. The result was super fun. I think everyone had a great time! Invites- I designed these to look like a box of Legos and printed them out at home, but I found several super cute ones you can buy on Etsy... Decorations- Lego head banners made with paint chips and Sharpies, bricks also made from paint chips, lots of crepe paper streamers in primary colors, center piece from XL Lego blocks, and lots of little Legos here and there... Food: I had a hard time thinking of Lego inspired food- cheese slices to look like bricks were my only thought. For the cake I did cupcakes with chocolate Lego guys using this mold... Gift Bags: Lego head marshmallow pops (how-to found here), stickers, and a mystery Lego mini figure pack... Games: The kids mostly just wanted to run around outside, but some of them did spend some time playing Legos set out on the kids' old train table. I also printed out coloring and dot-to-dot pages from the Lego sight... Instead of cleaning up after the kids left I sat around building with all of I's new Legos. Hooray! Maybe He'll want another Lego party next year...

ROAR for all the moms who love to plan the best parties no matter what!!! We have selected 50 dinosaur party ideas everyone will love!

Our son, Christopher, turned 3 this month. He loves anything to do with construction ... construction trucks, signs, all tools, hard hats etc. ... and so it was easy to pick a theme for his party. I found a bouncy house in the shape of a digger a few months back and it was a go! The color theme was orange, yellow and black. It was so much fun to decorate the house and I must admit I went a little crazy with the caution tape! I found so many great ideas on Pinterest and I hope by sharing my party with you I will be paying it forward. Feel free to message me in the comments if you have any questions where I found things (just be sure to leave contact info). Outside Front of the House Decor: This was the front walkway and door that greeted our guests. The ladder and tools are my husband's that I just decorated with caution tape and tied balloons to (not pictured). The front door read "Caution 3 Year Old Ahead" and is a sign I made by hand from a poster board and sharpie I purchased at Walmart. Favors: When you entered our house there was a table full of hard hats and tool belts. The hard hats I purchased from Amazon.com and the tool belt are from Home Depot (.77 cents each). I used our chalkboard and wrote "Welcome Workers! Grab your uniform and report to Site Supervisor Christopher." As kids arrived we let them pick which color of hat they preferred and then tied on their tool belt and explained what was inside. Each tool belt contained a construction party blower (found on Amazon.com) and then Work Orders (see explanation later in this post). My husband made a logo for our son's pretend construction company. We printed and cut them out as circles and taped them on the front of the hats. They read "Christopher Lehmann Destruction Inc. Crew". ;) For the favor, each child received a small truck in a bag filed with whoopers (boulders) and recces pieces (pebbles) when they left. The trucks come in a 5 pack and can be bought at Target, Walmart or Amazon.com. The favor tag was found online and can be downloaded here: Link Inside Decor: Let me tell you, decorating your house with caution tape is way too much fun! This is our front room and I simply taped up caution tape and a bunch of signs (the one on the mirror came in a four pack that I purchased from Amazon.com). I then added a cone and dump truck that we already owned to the toy dresser and we were set. Also if you want to keep your party guests out of certain areas of your home caution tape and a "Danger Keep Out" sign works great and totally fits the theme! Port-a-Potty sign on the bathroom door! Port-a-potty sign found here: Link See I told you I went a little crazy ... I even decorated the bathroom! I love this "Workers Present" sign I found online and I put it above the mantel since all the presents would go in this room. The sign can be download here: Link. I made the 3 banner using the leftover poster board from the sign on the front door and the "Party Zone" sign. The 3s were cut out of black construction paper and glued on to the poster board. One of my favorite decorations went behind our food table. I simply taped caution tape and black and orange streamers in a repeating pattern at the top of our cupboards and then let them hang to the floor. It created a dramatic look for practically nothing! Food: The food table decorations included a "Dig In" banner that my husband designed and printed on card-stock (I had found a pack of oranges/yellows at Michael's for $5). My husband also designed the food tags which labeled all the food as their constriction counterparts. My son already owned the three construction trucks and all the tools on the table and they added a fun touch! I found the adorable idea of calling the cutlery "tools" on Pinterest. I already had a paint can from my daughter's painting party and just crumbled up some napkins on the bottom of the can to give height to the forks and knives. The plate and napkin holder I just happened upon in the Target $1 bins. For the food I kept it simple. I have made the mistake in the past of trying to make a bunch of fancy food from scratch for parties and have realized (1) kids don't eat fancy food (2) I will have no life/sleep the day/night before and morning of the party (3) it really is not worth the effort. So even though I still love going all out on party decor and details, I go pretty simple when it comes to food. Drinks were lemonade and apple juice labeled as gas and diesel (another Pinterest idea). And the "Refuel Here" sign we saw on Pinterest and then my husband just redesigned it. I bought some warning tape on Amazon.com for $4 and wrapped that on the water bottles to make them more festive. The dessert table was a lot of fun but again I kept it simple (everything was bought except for the dirt cups). We had a cake, build your own dirt cup station with four different toppings, and then mini cupcakes. The "Party Zone" sign was another sign I made out of poster board I found at Walmart. The "Build Your Own Dirt Cup" my husband designed. The dessert table was decorated with caution tape and again tools we had around the house. This is a Costco cake and it works perfectly for a construction party! I just added a few small trucks that I already had bought to give away as the favor and some smashed up Oreos as dirt and I was good to go! The candles I bought at Walmart. I loved the idea of doing a build your own dirt cup station. I made the dirt cups ahead of time with chocolate pudding and crushed up Oreos. Then for toppings we had wafer cookies (2x4s), whoppers (boulders), recces pieces (pebbles) and gummy worms (worms). The kids LOVED it and had more than enough sugar during this party! Dig In Dirt Cup Topper Here: Link Cupcake Topper / Road Signs Here: Link My husband made this fun, themed sign for the outside garbage can. Games/Things for guests to do: The party was mainly in our backyard where we had a big bouncy digger, our play set/sandbox and tables set up. On each table in the middle I put a construction cone (two for $1 at the Dollar Store) with a dump truck printout that I had printed on white card stock and cut out (Link). I then ran balloons from a weight inside the cone out the top (not pictured). On each table I also placed coloring sheets (Link), crayons, and fake legos from the Target dollar bin. "Work Orders" were in each child's tool belt which they received as they arrived. The "Work Orders" listed the different locations where, now as construction workers, they had to do their "jobs". There was the Bounce Zone (the bounce house), the Wrecking Zone (the wrecking ball game), the Dig Zone (the sand box) and the Build Zone (inside the house in the front room where there were blocks and Duplo legos for the kids to build with). The older kids were really into this and checking off each box! I found the general template here (Link) and then my husband tweaked it a little bit to make it more personal. This is the Bounce Zone and as you can tell the birthday boy thought it was pretty cool! The second zone was the Wrecking Zone (another Pinterest idea)! I wrapped a bunch of boxes in brown and white packing paper and drew bricks on the brown and wood grain on the white. The kids could stack them as high as they wanted and then pull back the wrecking ball and knock them over. The wrecking ball was an old ball that we tied twine to and then covered in Duct Tape. We then attached it to the top of our swing set. It was a HUGE hit! The boxes. Our little construction worker! The third zone was the Dig Zone ... AKA the Sandbox! I just filled the sandbox with my son's construction trucks and shovels and then sprinkled some fake Legos (again Target $1 bin) so that the kids had something fun to dig up. The fourth and final zone was the Build Zone. In one room I put all our toys that kids could build with (i.e. connector blocks, wood blocks, Duplo Legos, train tracks etc.). This also became a great space for the babies and toddlers to play, away from the outside craziness. Can you tell by his face he had an amazing day?! Happy 3rd Birthday Christopher! Thank you for checking out my party blog and if you are planning a construction party for a special little one in your life I hope this post gives you a few ideas!

This post is several month's old, but we are headed to my niece's birthday party today, and this has been sitting in my drafts for quite a while now. Baby's taking a nap so I decided to go for it. Welcome to Baby's 1st birthday party! I chose to do a "Mr. Roger's" themed party because of his wonderful positivity and this awesome quote: Originally I had all of these cute ideas for a "Pinterest" worthy party, as I was feeling the pressure to live up to the super adorable themed parties friends had recently thrown for their kiddos, but alas, I just didn't have the time or the energy to make everything happen. I was feeling disappointed that all of my ideas weren't going to come to fruition the way I wanted it to until I was reading "The Finishing School" by Val Woerner. She has a chapter about hosting and the quote that stuck out to me was something along the lines of "hosting isn't about people leaving your home feeling better about you, it's about leaving your home feeling better about themselves." As long as your event has good food and places for people to sit then that's really all that maters! So I ditched all of my cutesy little food ideas and forewent spending exorbitant amounts of money on decorations and went with Costco and Walmart, and a few homemade touches :) My mom painted this sign for the entry. And it now hangs in his room! Who needs an expensive custom made cake? Costco Cake + Red Vines equals crazy delicious!(anyone get that reference?) We asked people to dress in theme by wearing their best Mr. Rogers style Cardigan. My "Raising Tomorrow" shirt is from Ford & Wyatt. He burned his little finger on the candle right before we sang to him so he cried all the way through his birthday song :'( I lucked out and found this little mini cake at a local grocery store the morning of his birthday. I knew they usually had them, but I there was only one generic cake and the rest were graduation! Our friends and family blessed us with so many sweet gifts and letters. I wouldn't wish being president on my worst enemy but it's fun to think of his future achievements, dreams and talents! I hope you enjoyed this glimpse at our fun, colorful 1st birthday party for our baby boy! And I leave you with this: It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood A beautiful day for a neighbor Would you be mine? Could you be mine? It's a neighborly day in this beautywood A neighborly day for a beauty Would you be mine? Could you be mine? I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you So let's make the most of this beautiful day Since we're together, we might as well say Would you be mine? Could you be mine? Won't you be my neighbor? Won't you please Won't you please Please won't you be my neighbor?

We can all agree Gilmore Girls is the best, right? Well even my 3 year old feels the same way and insisted on having a “Girls” birthday party, so that’s what we did! While my heart wanted to go all…

Thanks to Pinterest, this post is getting a lot of attention! I've made some edits to explain a few more things in pink! Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll answer them in the comments section! Thanks for visiting! **All Sesame Street Characters and pictures for this party were cut outs from the Sesame Street Friends and Sesame Street Fonts Cricut cartridges. I found them on EBAY!*** I still have some catch up to do from the last few weeks, but I know everyone wants to see my pictures from Luke's birthday party so here they are! Luke is way into Sesame Street (SS) these days. He knows all the characters and watches it at least once a day sometimes twice. So I was happy to do a Sesame Street party for him despite the amount of work it took! Luke woke up pretty happy on Saturday morning, I sang Happy Birthday to him and he loved it. He also loved all the decorations we put up the night before and pointed to all the SS characters. Right after breakfast we let him open his present from his G & G brown. He had a fun time ripping off the paper bits at a time. When Scott pulled it out the box he shouted "car" and we put it together quickly for him to push around which he did for a good 20 minutes. It's a bubble mower so we put the bubbles in it and took it outside. He would stop and look at the bubbles when they would come out--he was fascinated. The party didn't start until 11:30, we spent the morning cleaning up and working on Luke's cake! Scott helped a lot actually--he did all the red stars on the cake. I was impressed. Working on this cake made me realize I needed more than one frosting bag to decorate a cake. Oi. We used a wilton Elmo cake pan for the shape. I borrowed it from a friend---chances are you can find a neighbor or friend who has one! We had coloring pages for the kids to color when they came in. I just googled "Sesame Street Birthday coloring pages" and found a bunch free online The Letter of the Day was L for Luke, and Number was 2 for 2 years old I made this banner. I plan on laminating it and using it for future parties. All the characters I'm going to laminate and put in a quiet book or something for Luke. Random Party shot. Scott also made the cookie monster box. This was a game they could play--I made felt cookies and the kids toss them in to cookies mouth--feeding cookie monster. The cookies are two felt circles hot glued together--leave and opening and fill with rice--then glue it shut. Then hot glue black felt pieces on for the chocolate chips! We also had them play pin the nose on the Elmo--I wish I'd had a chance to get a picture of them actually doing it. We blindfolded the older kids but just let the little ones--Luke and Isaac--just stick the nose on.I made all the SS characters using SS Cricut cartridges. It made it a lot easier, but it was still tricky and time consuming. This was another game we played in the background--"Count the Cookies" Everyone just entered a guess as to how many cookies were in the jar (a cleaned out peanut butter jar) and the person who came closest got to take home the jar! So funny and somewhat not so funny story about the pizza. We ordered it at 11:30 and it was only supposed to take 30 minutes--arriving at just the right time for the party. However. An hour later, upon calling to find out what was up, we find that the delivery guy got in a car accident! They sent another guy to go retrieve our pizzas and bring them to our house, but they didn't get here until 1:15 (the party was supposed to be over at 1). Then we opened up the boxes and found that our pizzas didn't do to well in the accident themselves! They were all squished to the side! (and they were lukewarm, not hot like they should have been) After mostly everyone left, Scott called the manager and he gave us FIVE free future pizzas. sweeeet. I love how all the kids crowd around while the presents are opened. My brother Al, his wife Stephanie, and my younger brother Steve were able to come up during their lunch break at the bike shop. (They all work at Taylor's Bike Shop in Provo) Chilling on the stairs with Uncle Derek Birthday Cake Pictures! We have a really cute video of Luke dancing while everyone sings Happy Birthday to him. I'll have to work on getting that up this week. The End!

Time has flown by so quickly. My little girl turned 5 last week and I can hardly believe it. A few months ago, I asked my daughter what kind of party she wanted. She asked for a Lego party and an art party. I loved the idea of having both. Both would be wonderfully interactive […]
