Plan a very happy "Very Hungry Caterpillar" party for Alex and Lukas' 3rd birthday

Lots of happy children today! 3 years ago

Anyone for some leftover cake?! 3 years ago

They had a lovely birthday yesterday and were thrilled with their pressies and treats throughout the day. Their party will be on Sunday – got a bit done today and thankfully Mum will arrive on Saturday and will help with the cakes.

• Take home lolly boxes
• Personalised laminated placemats
• Treasure hunt parcels (There’ll be an identical picture inside a balloon which the child has to pop and then go outside to search for the treasure)
• Pin the head on the caterpillar (each child is blindfolded and has to try and stick the head onto the end of the caterpillar’s body)

(Mum did all the painting. Bless her.) Still a bit more to do. 3 years ago

Their birthday is not for ages (November 4th) – party will be the weekend after. I figure if I just do bits here and there it will make the whole preparation process much easier.
