More Lovebugs!

I went to Toys R Us with the girls today. And we found these cute candy buckets! OMG! I almost peed my pants with excitement. :)

These are perfect for Halloween and Emma's birthday. At $12.99 each, I bought 12. I know. You don't have to say that I'm crazy! I know I am. I got 2 for the girls. And 10 for Emma's birthday party.

When I got home and Joe saw them, he asked why I didn't buy more. They are super cute. And I think they will add so much to our birthday decorations. But really...he wanted me to buy more? Yes. So he called a friend and had them go pick up whatever was left. Because Toys R Us is over an hour from our house.

See I'm not the only crazy one in the family. It makes me feel a lot better! But I really do think these will be great decorations. I haven't decided what I'm going to use them for. But probably as center pieces with candy or flowers. Maybe a few by the food table with silverware and napkins. So fun! ♥Anna Marie♥

Emma's 1st Birthday

I can't believe that Emma is already going to be a year old! Where in the world has the time gone? 2 months from today, my baby is going to be a year old! And I'm completely stressed out! What kind of birthday party are we going to have? Am I going to cook? Where are we going to get the cake. Etc...

Joe reminded me to breathe yesterday. To just stay calm. But how could I? So I called Lola. And we talked. Lola has a way of putting my mind at ease. Maybe it's because she's fabulous! She gave me the idea of a Ladybug...or Lovebug Birthday party. Perfect!

Here are a few ideas that I've found so far. And I'm really excited. Definitely on a mission now. So if you have an ideas, suggestions, stores, blogs, etc. please let me know. I would really appreciate it.

All kinds of fun decorations! The ideas are endless. At least that is what Lola keeps tell me. :)

Lots of fun ladybug treats.

And of course, you have to dress up the birthday girl! It just wouldn't be a party without a little bit of dressing up. :)

Now I'm off to go search for more ideas. And decorations, invitations, and so much stuff that we need to buy. But I'm really excited! I just hope, that 2 months is enough time. And I'm someone who doesn't sweat the small stuff. ♥Anna Marie♥
