HEEELLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO - Monkey Joe's

Katie's 3rd Birthday Party was the first one we haven't held in our home.  While truthfully this made me sad, actually really sad because I couldn't go all out with the decorations . . .it was time for a change of venue. 

Moving away from our house meant less prep-time, absolutely no cleanup or stress about the weather forecast.  This year we invited not only the neighborhood kids but Katie's preschool class as well, way to many to fit into our house on a rainy day.  Not to mention that at three, the kids need fun activities. 

I must say when we talked out of Monkey Joe's and came home to a clean house with no dishes to wash, food to put away, a car load of presents and a perfectly content birthday girl . .I was happy lady!

I said I couldn't go "all out," I didn't say I would conform to using Monkey Joe's plates, napkins and cups!  Dave joked that I would have painted the walls if I could have and he's absolutely right :)
