Birthday themes

When #2 found out my birthday was coming up, he asked me if I was going to have a special theme for my birthday the way they do.
I told him my theme for this year would be old...and we would all wrinkle up our faces to celebrate.
Thinking about it though...wouldn't it be fun to have a theme? My kids have had Star Wars, Pirates (complete with treasure hunts and a pirate ship cake), Jungle Safari, trains, race cars and more.
Now that my birthday is past I am wondering if I should have tried having a theme. I tend towards grumpy being my theme. I just don't enjoy my birthday. But maybe next year I will have a theme to look forward to. Something like tropical island getaway, maid service for a day, or Mom's spa day. What would you pick if you could have a birthday theme of your own?

I would have an 80's party!! We'd play awesome 80s music and wear bad 80s clothes. I think it'd be fun to see what everyone would come up with.
My bday is coming up soon also. Happy early bday! And thanks for stopping by!

Something with dancing and chocolate. I can't think of a theme that includes both.

Wonderful post! Wishing you a very Happy belated Birthday! I always come up with some unique idea about birthday themes. I would recommend that you have a Hollywood theme, maybe of the 60's or 70's, a carnival theme, Las Vegas Casino theme, Asian or Oriental theme or a seafood theme party on your next birthday. I'm sure you'll have a blast!

I made this video/slideshow about three years ago when I was first learning how to use video editing software. Its not award winning, but it makes me feel good, and it has all five of the boys in it. I hope you enjoy it!

What could be better than a free pet?

Two of them! A while back I wrote about our snail Claireford going the way of all the earth (i.e. he/she croaked). I also mentioned that after Claireford's untimely demise there was a mysterious tiny little slug-like creature in the tank. Thinking it may have been a baby snail with an undeveloped shell, I kept it for several weeks, but eventually I gave up on it being a snail and set it free. I know that snails and slugs are pretty much the same thing, but I just can't stomach the thought of feeding slugs for some reason. Snails, I can handle. Near the start of the school year I was walking home from the school with #3 and #4 and I chanced upon a snail crossing the sidewalk. I stopped the boys and had them come and look at it. My intention was to look at it, and then let it go on its slow but merry way. Then I saw a second snail just off of the sidewalk, and I couldn't resist. #1 was pretty sad when Claireford died ( Claireford is named after Cliff and Claire Hu
