party on with your (3 year old) self

construction crayons found here

lest you think it is serious around here all the time...we do party from time to time.  and boy! do we have a party coming...

hendrix is coming up on THREE...holy effing smokes.  and we all know his momma loves to plan a party (and that his daddy hates parties. but haters are my motivators), so here is the lowdown on hendrix's par-tay.
BE A BUILDER is the theme.
hendrix loves all things about building, farming, and landscaping.  he can name all construction vehicles on sight.  he peruses the stihl catalog every night before bed.  take him to a john deere dealership and he knows exactly what everything is, parked on their lot.  at menards he needs to check out the saws and lawnmowers.  yesterday, he told me he wanted to be a weed whacker when he grew up.  today he wants to be a cement truck driver when he grows up. you get the picture.  soooooooo....the party hats are hard hats.  the games will be pinata demolition and tower building.  the cake topper is a bulldozer.  blueprints are the decor. rulers, pencils, graph paper, and construction shaped crayons are the party favors. we will "construct" our own bird feeders. why? because if you build it...they will come.
