After perusing two "dollar stores", Tarjay, and A.C. Moore, I came up with these. The cupcake decorations: And the party favors: I also ordered 18 balloons. I found both sports themed and Star Wars themed plates and napkins at the dollar store, but they cost three times what the generic "happy birthday" plates and napkins...

It’s time to reveal the winner of the much coveted Vera Bradley purse. Sorry I couldn’t come up with a more desirable gift. I mean, there were only 820 people who registered for a chance to win. EIGHT HUNDRED comments, yall. My poor overworked site meter has never seen so much action. I want to...
1) I’m up to my eyeballs in birthday party planning. The good news is, it looks like the weather will be cold but sunny and dry. I can live with that. The park is reserved, and we have seven little boys coming. Husband is planning games to keep the boys busy. It’s my job to...
Susanne – So true! YAY!
Amanda – LOL. Isn’t that a hoot? She wrote Happy Birthday in black magic marker on the bag. It must have been all she had on hand.
Just recently came across your blog and have enjoyed reading it. I’ll definitely join you for the wine or a cupcake!
Looks like great fun. You may be frozen but your basement and house are intact! Yay!
How fun! Happy Birthday!
Wait…is that a snowman giftbag?! Was this a Christmas party?
I’m glad the party went well and the boys had a great time. Hopefully that glass of wine helped you warm up;)
Looks like it all went well.. Hope Mr Man’s goes as well.. D looks like he had a blast..
What a great park!!! And what an amazing view! Sorry, it was cold, but it looked like a nice day anyway. And when you’re a kid and you’re running none stop, you don’t notice the cold! Happy Birthday to the Birthday Boy!!
You know what, it was nice today! And really not too cold at all. I’m sure when our kid(s) are older we will consider that location for parties too. It doesn’t look like many people were there!
Looks like the birthday boy had a blast. Glad it all went well and it wasn’t colder – or raining! And you don’t have lots of extra cleaning to do now – yay!
Those cupcakes do look yummy – I’ll have one in spirit – so it won’t go to my hips!
MMM.. How ’bout both. Chocolate and red wine are great together! Glad it was a fun party. I loved the pictures and it does look like a really great setting for kids, even despite the chill. Kids don’t even notice chill, do they? Just wipe the snot-cicle on that sleeve and move on!
Glad D had such a great party! What a lovely place to have one, it’s beautiful there. Have seen your mother once but think she is heading back this afternoon. It was wild here yesterday with heavy winds and rain!
Gorgeous! What a great solution for a party! So glad it all turned out well. I am confident the birthday boy will remember that as one of his favorite parties. 🙂
Aw looks like FUN! I can’t wait to throw parties like that someday when the kids are older. Right now they just cry and eat cupcakes on their birthdays – not fun.
I do have to say though that that first picture looks as though the poor boy on the ground is being beaten alive. I had to look twice!

Good job mom! You did good!
The park is beautiful!!!
Fun! Fun! That park is just gorgeous. We drove through Pennsylvania on our way home from New York one time and I thought the state was absolutely beautiful! Stay warm and enjoy the scenery.
I actually never did develop a taste for wine, but I’ll take a cupcake. : )
Happy Birthday to the young man!
