How can this be? Didn't he just turn six?
I asked Jack on multiple occasions how he might like to commemorate his special day. He couldn't have seemed less interested, but after much prodding I extracted some muttered suggestions about a bounce house or a special breakfast.
Um. I DON'T THINK SO.
Maybe it's all the time I've been spending on Pinterest, or the estrogen frenzy that is my second trimester, but my brain is absolutely exploding with ideas for parties and favors and themes, oh MY!
And, okay, maybe there's also a little misplaced guilt around throwing two siblings at an only child in the span of 19 months.
Either way, he's getting PARTY.
And because my husband spent two backbreaking months of last year on a backyard patio and fire pit project that was the brick-moving equivalent of the Egyptian pyramids, I've decided to base the whole party theme around 1) a blazing camp fire and 2) the nonstop craving for s'mores that overtakes me once the temperature outside hits 70.
Which means that next month, for one day only, I'll be transforming our backyard into...CAMP JACK!
Details are still in the works and, of course, HIGHLY confidential, but I've enlisted my friend Erin over at Zoey's Attic to make some custom "I Survived CAMP JACK" t-shirts, and created this inspiration board to capture my favorite ideas for everything from decorations to desserts.
Let's just hope I survive Camp Jack.
