Party Hearty!

What a beautiful day for a celebration!  June 2 flew in and out but not without some fun by all!
We spent most of the week outside getting the yard in tip top shape, plus ensuring that the "redneck swimming pool" was ready for action!  Justin busily raked leaves, mulched flowerbeds and got rid of junk.  All while I scrubbed the house, created the decorations and prepped the food!  It really was a nice little bash if I do say so myself!  If you missed out -- so sorry :( 




But here are some pictures of the decor and activities.......
I made Seuss like signs welcoming people to the house! We called the water play area "Horton's Water Hole" -- Green Eggs and Ham Cafe was where the food was being served.  The Grinch Grotto was for the parents who didn't want to be soaked with water and "Poo-ville" well I hope I don't have to explain that one! lol
 I got so many ideas from Pinterest!  It was my saving grace! lol  From the Pom pom deco to the bookmark favors..... I even found a great printable quote from the book that I framed! 


 Trevor loved having his friends over to play and swim.  They got to slip and slide, throw water balloons, squirt water cannons and swim.  I think the parents had fun too!!!  For cake, we sang "For he's a jolly good fellow" and announced that Trevor had gotten his transfer request approved.  He will be continuing at Barton Creek Elementary instead of going to his home school.  We were so excited to make the announcement I think some people might have thought we were crazy!


 It was so nice to have a few of Trevor's Preschool teachers join us for the festivities.  MaryLou was his 3rd year teachers, Ms. B was this past year and Ms Vera was his very first teacher, at 6 months until he was 18 months.  We were said some of his other teachers couldn't make it, but thankfully each year I have had them sign a special note in the book "Oh the Places you'll go" by Dr. Seuss.  What a treasure!  We even had the guests write down a special dream or wish for Trevor as his grows.  It will go in a memory box that he will get when he gets a bit older.
 I love these flowers I found that totally matched his colors!  What a day...... I am so blessed to have great family and friends who have supported us these last 5 years with Trevor and his school!  It eases a working mommy's heart to know that he is loved by so many!!!!!  Now it's off to Summer!!! More school, some vacation and lots of loving!  Cuz sure enough the months will fly by and I'll be walking him into school as a Kindergartner!
