Party! Party!

The little one has a big birthday coming up next month, and I've begun planning the party. At least, I've begun thinking about planning the party...

Last year, we had tons of fun making a great big mess in the back yard.

This year, I'm looking for another fun way to celebrate my favorite little girl. Cookie always has great party ideas. But the best ideas usually come from other Mamas. So, I'm appealing to you, my creative readers, for ideas.

What are your favorite party ideas?
