Technicolor Tuesday - MONKEY Party

Even though their birthday was back on the 8th, somehow having a party made everything feel so much more official.

They are THREE.

And they did it Monkey-Style.

Monkey Cupcakes

Monkey Cups

Balloons might be better than the actual presents.

Seriously. They were a HUGE hit. (I'm very thankful for my husband's afterthought.)

A rare moment of calm while we wait for party guests.

And a much more often moment of craziness and fun.

Party hats. Not worn on the head but on the face. Nice.

He kept insisting he was a....

well, he kept telling us he was a ....

penguin? (Um, ok. It's his party.)

The Craft - Monkey Masks!

Lovely Quinlan.

I'll be sending this away to a shrink for analysis.

Neighbor Heather and Jackson

Party food = Monkey-roni and Cheese and Monkey (turkey) Dogs.

Bring on the cupcakes, let the singing commence...

FIRE. GOOD.

"I BLEW IT OUT! "(By the way, we had not yet finished the song but who cares...)

A little help from a friend...

Harmonica Man warmed up the party crowd

Kristen and her lovely sprout, Margot

More Margot...

You can gift a kid with all the educational stuff on the planet but nothing compares to TRUCKS.

And CRANES.

But books are pretty cool too.

Party pandemonium.

More organized chaos.

And everyone went home with one of these.

I'm still processing my feelings about the day and milestone... Maybe it's time for another baby monkey? Stay tuned...
