The Cat in the Hat-part one

THE PREP

Lucie wanted a cat in the hat party.  So, that's what we did.
We started by making some little treat bags a couple of days ahead of time.

We followed a red and light blue color scheme. I wrapped kitkat (get it?  kat?) bars with red striped paper, added some gummy fish and of course, we just had to make some thing 1 and thing 2 clothespin dolls!

 I decided to make some felt "fish" beanbags to play some games with.  I was going to send them home with the kids, but the eyes kept coming off.  I couldn't let them take home eyeless fish.  They are all repaired now with stronger glue and we play with them around the house.  I think they turned out pretty cute!

The day of the party we decorated the backyard.  We added balloons and streamers and kites.  We made some cat in the hat cut-outs and taped them up.  I saw an idea on the internet for backyard twister.  We decided to give it a go using cat in the hat colors (pink, blue, red, and white)  Lucie loved it and it was fun!

Tune in tomorrow for an account of the actual festivities!
