The party...And the stress.....

So here is a sneak peak at a few of some of the party stuff....






So, the big day is now offically less than one week away. All I can say is I am stressing out. I am trying not too, but the "OCD" in me is going crazy. My to-do list have list of there own, I have boxes all over my office marked for each room of the house and those boxes have bags in them for each area in that room for decorations. I am trying to make things easier on myself and my mom the day of the party as far as setting up goes. I have tried to get as much as I can done and ready to go. I put together the giraffe tent on Thur. that I will be using as the petting zoo and all I can say is "Wow". IT bigger than I thought, which seems to be the theme with some of my activities. I also inflated the pool which is suppose to be a ball pit. Another thing that turned out much bigger than I expected. Its atleast the size of a queen size bed. I put the balls in it this morning and lets just say that the 200 balls I have didnt even cover 1/2 of the bottom of the pool. I seriously think it would take around 1000 balls to fill it even 1/2 way up. So of course Brad put the breaks on that idea. The pool is tooooo cute. But we got a smaller pool today that is a frog (which I dont think goes with the whole jungle theme, but Brad says its fine). So I am trying to figure out a way to incorporate the other pool still. My next stressor is the weather, one website says its going to be in the low 70's and sunny, then another says in the mid 70's and raining. I am really hoping for the sunny websites forcast, it will make the party flow much better. I have a back up of course, but its not as good as if we were able to be outside. I am also trying to get my house cleaned and ready for the big event. So thats a job in its self. All I can say is thank god for parents. My mom and dad are coming up on Wen. to help me. So Thur mom and I will spend the day cleanning and then Friday we will set as much up as we can so there is less to do on Sat. Wish me luck. I am including a few photos of things I have ready so far. Check out the cute tee shirt I made for Austin to wear durring his smash cake photos! Too cute!
