Putting together our homemade version of Baby Einstein party decorations. We chose to go with a Baby Einstein theme this year due to Benjamin's obsession. (He will literally carry around a product catalog for days, sitting and studying it for 20-30 minutes at a time.)
Benjamin was enamored with his cake
In keeping with the theme, we had "learning centers" set up around the yard. (10 gallon paint sticks make wonderful yard stakes!)
We played a Baby Einstein CD while the kids ran around the yard. Benjamin was in heaven when he discovered this row of logos on the porch rail.
Benjamin discovers all his "buddies" decorating the windows. (He also discovered the chips and kept swiping them from the table.)
Books! (Dr. Seuss, to be specific.) We love to read!
Benjamin's new tool bench, complete with goggles. Safety first!
I love the look on Seth's face here. He is clearly enjoying life with his son!The party day went much more smoothly than Benjamin's actual birthday. He seemed a little overwhelmed with all the attention, but overall enjoyed the festivities. He still wasn't crazy about opening gifts. Hmmm....

Hi, Kirsten! I've been a lurker of your blog for a while, and thought I'd let you know that Matt and I enjoy reading how you, Seth, and your family are doing. The party looks like it was amazing (you are *very* creative), and Ben and Talia are absolute cuties. Blessings to you all!
Kylene! I'd love to find out what YOU guys are up to! Send me your email address or something! :) Thanks for writing :)

Great party! Way to go on homemade decos and the cake is awesome! Ironically, our son Benjamin is also a HUGE fan of Baby Einstein! I attribute his love for classical music and instruments mostly to that obsession. We also gave him a themed party- an excuse to make it educational, huh?! Does your daughter enjoy the dvds as well? They were the only thing that calmed my colicky Susanna!
