Lindsey Bug is Three

I had a hard time deciding on a theme for Lindsey’s birthday party.  Her Crayola party was so cute and fun last year- I was tempted to do a redo party.  Then as I was reading to her one night it dawned on me.  She LOVES all of Sandra Boynton’s books and we are always listening to her CD’s. So a Sandra Boynton party it was.

There wasn’t much on Pinterest for this party so I had to actually get creative on my own. That hasn’t happened for a very long time. I couldn’t resist making the subway art. When the girls got here they colored some Sandra Boynton coloring pages. Then we read the Birthday Monster book. Lindsey’s favorite book is Blue Hat, Green Hat. She loved reading it to them and then we role played and did our own Blue Hat. Green Hat. They all loved being the “oops” person. Then we read Horns and Toes and traced our hands like they do in the book.  Another favorite thing Lindsey loves to do. We are always tracing each other’s hands and fingers. Next up… a Monster snack

Lindsey loves popcorn- so popcorn it was. Of course, the kind with white chocolate, peanuts, peanut butter and candies it in. Then we read Perfect Piggies and listened to the song, “Pig Island”. The kids had pig puppets and when they heard the word pig they held up their puppets. With all the dancing that was going on it was hard for them to do both.  We even had to do it again later- it was that fun! (A blurry, but cute picture)

Then it was time for ice cream and cake. I usually like to make my cakes, but this one was beyond my limited skills.  So a week before the party, I took my book and detailed instructions to Wal-Mart bakery (big mistake right there) and told them what I wanted. The day before, they call me and tell me it can’t be done. Really? So I call my friend in a panic and she saves the day for me.  Check out this cute Monster she made.  I love it. And so did Lindsey.

Then we played Boynton Bingo with pink starbursts. Lindsey loves Starbursts and honestly I buy them because she says “Starbursts” so dang cute.

And of course, we couldn’t let our friends go home without a Sandra Boynton book!

I love my little 3 year old, eating her “pupcake”. Greg’s been working with her on getting those 3 fingers just right all week!
