Birthday party planning for my twins turning two!

I said last year I would be on top of the party planning and be ready to go by the day of the party. NOT SO MUCH with just a week to go.  Here is the invite, I ended up making this myself to save on costs.  Here are some cake ideas I like.

They love Thomas and Elmo, so I am thinking of incorporating one of those, both go great with the light blue and red invite.

All the cakes are from Glorious Desserts in Des Moines.

To the moms of boys

 

 

As I approach my third winter as a mom to boys, I would like to share a few words of advice...

HATS

Buy at least two hats right now, and if your little ones are still really young, buy different sizes, one for now, one for spring.  First off, somehow they disappear, reappear and disappear for good.  By the end of last winter, we were down to these two hats.  Honestly, I can't believe they fit!   Second, by mid January, there will be very few hats in sight to buy.  You would think in a state like Minnesota, where hats can be worn about nine months of the year, they would sell them all year! 

I'm sure it is tough to find girl hats late in the winter as well.
