party planning

i've started working on k's birthday party.  she turns 3 in a couple of weeks!  when i stop to forget about the days that run into one another of living with a toddler, i am shocked that she has been with us for three years.  and at the same time, i marvel that she wasn't here three years ago.  where was she?  it is bizarre.

i quite enjoy working on birthday parties for miss k.  i can say that now because i've only had to plan one party per year.  i'm sure i'll still like doing birthdays when baby b turns one and for several parties after, but i wonder when the time will come that they become a headache and a chore?  my babies were born in february and september, so at least that spreads the chaos of birthday parties out a bit...

i also realize that birthday parties can be as simple or as chaotic as you want them to be.  we have yet to do any friend parties (of course) but in brainstorming for this third party, i have gotten a bit excited for the first friend party.  games, crafty things, favor bags???  fun!  i'll give myself a couple more years before we hit that stage :)

As long as you don't kill yourself with parties, I think they are pretty fun to do - even after you have done a few. Except for doing parties in December - that sucks EVERY year!
