party all the time

What kind of mommy would I be, if while busily planning parties for those around me, to not plan a birthday party for my 7-year old twins?  They love having their birthday at the pool each year where we are members.  We've done this for a few years running, keeping it very casual with cupcakes from my local Cupcake Gourmet and chicken tenders and fries from the snack bar.   While it's "always" very hot and a little unruly -- the kids have a blast and the parents enjoy relaxing around the pool with a beautiful view out to the harbor.  There was no question when I saw this beautiful nautical themed invite from Party Box Design just 10 days before their party, that I knew I had to do something around this awesome design!  Unfortunately, our pool has many restrictions on what we can, and more often, cannot bring into the pool area - no glass, no food, no anything really - but, I endeavored to make it just a bit more special this year while adhering to the many rules the club has to keep everyone safe and happy.  Thanks to all my wonderful party friends out there who helped make it a bit more bearable in the 90+ degrees heat and humidity!  We melted, but thankfully nothing else did and in all the rush, all I forgot to pack in the supply box was the crinkle grass for the buckets.  P.S. the kids didn't even notice! Enjoy!
