Baseball Party Recap

Well, I am finally getting around to a recap of our son's baseball party.  I wish I would have had someone just in charge of pictures, because I was so busy enjoying the time with my son that I did not get as many pictures of things as I would have liked.  It was also very windy that day, so some of the "planned" decor was nixed.  Here are a few highlights:

Overall it was a huge success.  For the food we served:

• hot dogs
• chips (snack-sized bags)
• watermelon
• potato salad
• red licorice
• peanuts
• Cracker Jacks

The food was so easy!  I really enjoyed having the pre-bagged chips and Cracker Jacks.  It made it easy serving 15 kids and 18 adults!

Most of the party was just free play, lots of t-ball was played. We did have a parachute and baseball beach balls, which was a lot of fun.

The kids are at an age where it is fun to just let them play and the end of the party, most all of the kids were in the pool (with the baseball beach balls of course).

We had one happy and tired birthday boy.  He tells me that each birthday he wants a different sports party, ha ha!  

My big 4 year old All-Star!

Baseball Party Preview

Wow, it has been a while.  The start of the school year is always so busy.  To top it off, soon after schools starts it is time for my son's birthday (along with our anniversary and my husband's birthday), all three days in a row!  Crazy, but fun.  Well, I still need to edit photos, but I thought I would share a photo of the baseball cake pops.  They looked much better when I first made them, but of course the two days leading up to the party it was 105 degrees here and they kind of melted a bit just sitting in the warm kitchen...ugh!  Oh well, the kids loved them.

I will try to get more photos uploaded this week, along with add the baseball collection to my etsy shop.  

Baseball Party Invite

Summer has come to an end around here.  I started back teaching this week and I am exhausted!  This group of incoming first graders are so cute!  Anyways, along with the craziness of the beginning of the year I also have to think about my son's birthday, my husband's birthday and our anniversary, all of which fall within three days of each other.  Crazy!!! 


Well our son has decided he wanted a baseball party, so I thought I would share the invite I have made for the occasion.

I made them so two would fit as a 4 X 6 photo.  When I have them developed, I can have two per photo and cut them in half.  That will make them about the size of a "real" ticket.  How fun is that!  I will share more of the preparations soon.  Have a great weekend.

Baseball Gourmet Night

We are big baseball fans in this house, well my husband and son (3 years old) are really obsessed.  I am an Okland A's fan and my husband and son are San Francisco Giants fans.  My husband and I go to games each year because it really is a fun time experiencing a game at the park.  I recently stumbled upon this gourmet night put on by Kate from Studio LIME designs.  I love some of the decorations she chose to use for the party, the jars of baseballs are great!

I like the Cracker Jacks and Babe Ruth candy

Soft pretzels, yummy
