An Animal Party, of Course!

Can't believe my little boy is four already!  I was sure I knew the answer before asking Connor what type of Birthday party he wanted and I was right--an Animal party!  This kid loves to play, talk about, and visit animals.  I have become much more knowledgeable about meat eaters and plant eaters, where certain animals live, and various other facts that didn't mean much to me before having a curious animal-lover named Connor. 
What I didn't know was how tricky it would be to have a birthday party at our house the first weekend that it was up for sale. That's right, too much at one time!  We had 30 min to set up the party and 30 min to clean up the party, and then we were out of the house for showings.  It was a busy weekend but we are thrilled to have a buyer under contract.  "High five!"



 We had Audie from the Plains Conservation Center bring a blow snake, box turtle and a tiger salamander.  He was a big hit!  The kids (who wanted to) could touch the animals.
  
The kids ate fruit cups, veggie cups, PB& J sandwiches with juice boxes followed by loads of sugar with a  pinata and cake!
Party invitation!

A new baby, a birthday party and selling your home . . . you are super woman! Darling little party, I'm sure the kids were dying over the snake.
