For Baby M's birthday, we had a Jack's Big Music Show Party.  For those of you who are not familiar with Jack's Big Music Show.  Here is a link with more information.  Jack's Big Music Show.  I think my husband and I enjoy the show as much as M, if not more.  The sad thing is that the show is not on anymore.  The gentlemen at Spiffy are extraordinarily talented people. You may recognize the voice of "Baby Bear" from Sesame Street was created from the same group.  We were posed with some challenges as they do not sell any "Jack's Big Music Show" products so we had to be creative.  I printed out the T-Shirt iron ons and made T-shirts for all of our guests and took the same print out to Kroger's and had them make our cake.  I bought maracas, candy necklaces, and I made tamborines.  My initial idea was to take pie tins and fill them up.  However we were expecting 10 2year olds and the mini pie tins were $4.00 for a set of 4.  I went over to the plant section and bought the plastic drip catch trays for $0.23cents each.  I then went to Fuzzywinklebeans candies and got colored m&m's and whistle pops and filled each one.  I used a single hole punch to put holes in the sides and sealed each one shut by tying colored ribbons to attach top and bottom. 

My husband used our projector to display "Jack's Big Music Show" on our living room wall.  The kids loved it. 

Pretty funny that my birthday is the first day of school, (August 29th) and M's birthday is the last day of school.  After I picked her up from the baby sitters we went home and gave her our present.  We got her the 30th Anniv Cozy Coupe .  We put a blanket over it and let her unwrap it.  We let her play for about 45minutes before we headed out for our family dinner celebration. 

We celebrated Baby M's actual birthday at Pump it Up.  It can be pretty pricey in my opinion to have a party there.  However on Thursday nights they offer a Family Jump in that includes pizza and beverage and an hour of play time.
