Jungle Boogie

It was Birthday Party #1 today, and it was a total success. We celebrated with our playgroup friends, and Scott had a GREAT time. It was funny because, he seemed to know it was all for him. He acted shy at times, but never too shy to smile and be adorable. We had "ancient ruins" blocks, "safari tour" wagon rides, "jungle book" story time, and lots of food... including monkey chow, mud covered ants, quicksand, and elephant droppings. Scott completely enjoyed himself. Smiling and talking, being friends with everyone, and getting into everything. Him having a good time made the whole day a success, and I loved seeing him enjoy!
Cake eating: went AWESOME, of course! Scott was timid at first, but it didnt take him long to completely smash the cupcake into his face and make a mess of himself, which happened to make for the perfect photo op! The only sad moment of the day happened when it was clean up time... post cake. Scott wasnt thrilled about that part!
Scott is a joy to have in our home and our lives, and we are so blessed to have such wonderful friends to share our happy lives with! Thanks to all who came to help us celebrate this crazy whirlwind of a first year. I wouldnt change it for the world!!

All right, so what did you use for mud covered ants and elephant poop and quicksand and monkey chow....??? If I were to guess I'd say maybe chocolate covered raisins? And a chex mix for monkey chow, but you've got me with quicksand and elephant poop? =0) Great job on the cake!
