Party Recap
It was a crisp fall day, but it was not raining! Which was better than the original date for the party. Hurricane Irene crashed our original date of 8/28/11. Not sure who had more fun playing the games, the kids or the adults, but everyone seemed to enjoy their time celebrating the day with us.

Kendra, I bought these at Target over the summer. You can buy red and white striped fabric online and use them as covers too.

I wrapped a box with a tablecloth and then attached the toilet seat to the top with wood supports.
