birthday parties...
I hate to even touch on this subject for fear of treading on the martha stewart waters, but we recently had a "green birthday party" for Sander (his favorite color!). we asked everyone to wear green and everything at the party was green, including the donkey in pin the tail on the donkey, the cake, and all the balloons and more. I thought it was a fun idea and there are lots of ways to do it, I got the idea from Karen...she did a wear your favorite color party! it's a good way to get everyone involved (without spending a million bucks on clowns etc..yikes!)...just an idea....
