A very hungry caterpillar party

Boyboy has officially been welcomed into his one year old status.

birthday falls in late december, everyone busy, away blah blah so had party this weekend. Which actually suits me fine as i am normally late to give gifts, if I even do and I rarely do anything on time. 

Pinterest is a treasure trove of wonderful party ideas that I have blatantly borrowed to put together this party.  

So thanks to others wonderful creative ideas, my mad skills and a bunch of friends this party turned out just the way i imagined.

irony: we dont own the very hungry caterpillar book. I have never read it to boyboy. But I love the theme and really the first party is about the parents making it through the first year without falling apart. RIGHT.

lets get to the pics:

Idea adapted from this picture.

The Party

Upon arrival all children were given a cup of Caterpillar food.

 Apples, pears, plums, strawberries, oranges... healthy, colourful and pretty.

Simple card idea from here

and now for the Saturday food. 
One cupcake, one sausage, one piece of cheese, one piece watermelon, one lollipop. might i say this food was eaten quickly. I wonder if all the little caterpillars went home with sore tummys?                                                      

This hungry caterpillar watched from on high. keeping the beetles bugs and birds away.

Thanks to hubbys sister for the idea. 

remains of cupcake. gone in 60 seconds.

 present time. the way the children gathered to see the gifts thrills me. Excitement to see how their gift was received. its good to teach our children to be givers. That the world is not all about them. and these kids were wonderful at it. the best part.

It was a fun fun day. 

Although forecast to storm the rain stayed away until the next day. and has set in ever since.

Blessed.

Hope your weekend was fabulous and bliss filled.
