Taters Anyone?

For Cambree's 2nd birthday, we had a Potato Head party. As much has she loves playing with Daddy's Spud Tator, Darth Tator, andR2 Potatoo, we decided she needed to be exposed to the classic Mr. Potato Head. So...


Making the cake with
my very own spatula-cleaning expert...


Playing hot potato to The Wiggles singing "Hot Potato"...very fitting to our theme (Mom got out first of course) This was a hit!

The Birthday Girl opted not to use the blindfold.



Listening to Grandma and Grandpa sing "Happy Birthday"


Can't have a Potato Head party without a Potato Head cake, right? It was a delicious chocolate cake with (mostly) caramel frosting. Yum! Oh, and mashed potaters for dinner, but no picture of those. It was a wonderfully inexpensive theme. I highly recommend it to anyone.


She's saying "gum" as she picks out all of Mr. Potato Head's teeth.



Cambree's new slide!!! We were so proud that she shared so well with her sister. :) PS...You know how much a large slide like this costs to buy new? Gotta love Craig's list. :)

Cute cake! Love the stories on the side. The potty training story is a reminder that Henry is a bit behind. Whenever we sit him down on the toilet, he waits two seconds and says "It's not working." Of course, if he's going to use the remote to wipe, perhaps we can wait.

How very clever and thrifty! I love it! There was a contest in one of the kids magazines for creative birthday bashes - this should definitely be entered into something like that.
