Orangalicious

Published in Widow Kids by chefswidow

Catcher’s third birthday is next Sunday and we are having a rager for him in the Metroparks.  We decided to go with theme of orange as he has been obsessed with it since he could identify it.  He prefers orange foods, orange shirts, and even orange juices (carrot included).  The chef is coming up with a menu consisting of orange foods.  His first idea was melons & moonshine.  Yep that’s right people. When my husband thinks of a three year old’s birthday party moonshine comes to mind.

I have decided to purchase items that are only orange or feature the color orange as the main color.  I found him this really cool Eco backpack and a great tricycle.  The chef wanted to get him this one but I just couldn’t bring myself to spend so much dough on something he will only use for a year.  We are also buying cheesy popcorn from the West Side Market and hand it out as party favors.  So fun.

    That is such a cute idea!!! I might steal it and give The Boy a red party to avoid actually have to have a Red Power Ranger party. Can’t wait to see what you else you guys come up with!

    p.s. Tiny Prints has adorable invitations, including a funky orange one:

    I’m so glad I found this blog! I’ve learned something new…….like moonshine is orange. Whoda thunk it? Living in Ohio, many have sarcastically pronounced that the fame orange construction barrels are our state bird. How about orange sherbet on cones (ice cream, that is)? Have fun!

    I think I may have to buy some cones for decor- love the sherbet idea especially cause Catcher is a sherbetaholic!

    Must be a 3 year old thing! My son loves the color orange…thus, his 4th bday (in Feb) is going to be an “orange robots” party. This should be interesting! ;)
