Before the onslaught


WASSUP dooodes!?!?!?


Zoe awoke from her afternoon nap to discover the lounge her play-area transformed.

She couldn't quite figure out what was going on.

I spent a bomb on ballons. D was like: "How much?!?!? Balloons!?!??!?!"

There were a hundred free floating ones in baby pink, fushcia and lime green. We also had some tied down with weights in bunches. There were two 6 ft balloon "walkers" in the guise of Elmo and Bugs. We had three huge foil floaters - a bee, a lady bug (in keeping with my garden theme) and a star with neon letters spelling out HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZOE!

Went a bit nuts decorating too. The curtains had glittery butterflies, dragonflies and bugs all sewn on. There were huge pots of flowers everywhere. And clothes-lines made of yarn with the cutest and sweetest photos of Z hung out for display! One line had the pick of a dozen photos capturing every month of her life - 0 to 11 months.

It's no wonder Z wondered if she was still in dream land.

She had to take a moment...


And surprise, it was all still there when she opened her eyes!


Here's a sweet pic of D and the birthday baby:
