How can it be mid-March already? Seriously, time just needs to s.l.o.w. down. Smarty Pants is going to be FOUR in a couple of months {what?!}. How did that happen so fast? I look at him these days and he's no longer a cherubic little boy, but not quite a big boy either {phew!}. There have been a lot of big changes this past year-- a budding imagination, bigger words, more complex thoughts, lots more whining and defiance... But the biggest change has been the constant "mommy, mommy, mommy" mantra being replaced by "daddy, daddy, daddy"-- Daddy rocks his world!
The party planning has already begun... in my head. I'm thinking Legos. Lego Racers, perhaps. I really need to get on it.

But instead of "getting on it", I thought I'd share some photos from his 2nd Birthday-- Smarty Pant's
Monkey Party. I was about 15 months pregnant at the time (at least I felt that way since Happy Vee was transverse breech and it looked and felt like I was carrying multiples), so party planning was kept to a minimum. We held the party at a kid's activity center that took care of everything. Best decision I've ever made!

The Setting~
The party room ~ cute, huh!
giant play structure - the perfect place for a bunch of little monkeys to "hang around".

Favor Bags for the Kids~
the bags were filled with all things monkey-- curious george goodies, ty monkeys, sling monkeys, banana chips, banana granola bars, even banana lotion for the older girls.
Party Favors for the Adults~
mini loaves of banana & chocolate banana bread
The Cake~
Curious George was Smarty Pant's favorite show. I think we watched every episode at least 10 times each! Aah, memories...
