Double the Fun

So on Sunday our friends had a birthday party to celebrate their daughter turning 3 and their son turning 1. They were born just a few weeks apart, and both around Halloween, so it was only logical to have a costume party, right? It's not even Halloween yet and I've already had to bribe our kid three times to get his costume on. I, on the other hand, never have to be bribed to attend parties. As long as there is cake.

My son is the same. If there are cake and balloons, the kid is happy. It's the simple things.

Anyway, their mother found adorable costumes of characters from Where the Wild Things Are and even had a cake to match. Will had more fun just enjoying putting cake on his head, while Charlotte, enjoyed picking apart her cake. Drew, on the other hand, didn't take his eyeballs off the cake and whined until he had a piece. Like mother, like son.


Drew loves himself some Charlotte. Examples A-D below.


And he loves goodies that you can take from a party. I love how little it takes to make the kid happy sometimes.


Happy Birthday again to Charlotte and Will!

  1. He looks adorable in his costume! Once my girls figured out that they get *candy* while in their costumes it was smooth sailing---they'll wear almost anything haha

  2. Those hug photos are precious! And great idea to bribe the LO with something to put the costume on. Callie is not really loving hers and we have a party and Halloween this week to wear it to! Luckily she's got my sweet tooth and is starting to understand "If you do this you get this" :)

  3. Cute costume! I had to bribe Chloe to get into her (Elmo) costume also. She loves Elmo so I have no idea why she's not a big fan of wearing him.

  6. Drew's costume is adorable! I'm thinking I might do a Halloween or Pumpkin theme for Jackson's birthday party next year. There are just so many options available for decorations at this time of year. It would be really fun.

  16. Drew looks adorable! It looks like a great birthday party. I love the theme! My mom just asked today if I would do dual birthday parties for Trenton and baby #3 (she is due on Trenton's 5th birthday). I just don't think I'll be able to get away with them with the age difference. Maybe when they're 25 and 30 they'll be able to agree on a common theme! ;-)
