Almost 5!

Wow, it seems only yesterday he was toddling around with his cute little face looking up at mine! Well, he will be turning 5 this month and what a cutie he still is! I may be biased (NOT), well, maybe a little...
Anyway, he told me he wanted a doggie party and we started planning. So this is what is happening...
Guests arrive at 1pm, and promptly see on the sidewalk in front of the house paw prints leading around the side of the house (the party will be in the backyard) to the back. They will each receive some doggie ears that they can wear, then they will come in the back and see the big dalmation bounce house. There will be games like "Give the doggie a bone" played like pin the tail on the donkey except...well, you can figure it out. We will also use fishing poles with magnets to play fish for a bone, with cardboard bones with paper clips that have the word "prize" on it and everyone wins, we are going to serve "pupcakes" instead of cupcakes. The "pupcakes" will have paw prints on them and they will be walking across the table. Ice cream will be served in cupcake paper cups and both pupcake and ice cream will be served in a dog dish with each child's name on it.
We also have a bone-shaped pinata and doggie bags to put the candy in. The treat boxes look like little doghouses and they include a mini plush doggie, a whistle, stickers , a bouncy ball and some bone shaped candies.
I hope to get a group photo with the whole gang and I will post so you all can see what I am talking about.
So please cross your fingers or pray (works better) that it doesn't rain on Saturday! I do have a back up plan but it requires everyone to stay in our little house, it would be very crowded and I am sure very loud, two things that irritate me a lot!
I will post how it all goes down!
