The twins’ much anticipated shark themed birthday party finally happened this weekend! … Anticipated mostly by them, while I was mostly apprehensive about pulling it all together. I’ve been worrying for weeks about how to create a birthday party that didn’t include the usual party “crashers” like soda, processed pizza, candy, artificial colors, preservatives, and loads of sugar. Now that they’re in kindergarten and on the “party circuit” there’s a certain level of expectation to be met, and I could tell they were a little worried about whether their friends would end up with carrot sticks in their goody bags.
