The Wright Family: Teddy Bears' Picnic

If you go down in the woods today you're sure of a big surprise
If you go down in the woods today you'd better go in disguise
For every bear that ever there was will gather there for certain
Because today's the day the Teddy Bears have their picnic

Every Teddy Bear who's been good is sure of a treat today
There's lots of marvellous things to eat and wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees where nobody sees they'll hide and seek as long as they please
That's the way the Teddy Bears have their picnic
Picnic time for Teddy Bears
The little Teddy Bears are having a lovely time today

Watch them, catch them unawares and see them picnic on their holiday
See them gaily gad about
They love to play and shout
They never have any cares
At six o'clock their Mummies and Daddies will take them home to bed
'Cause they're tired little Teddy Bears

The theme for Blair's 2nd birthday party was "Teddy Bears' Picnic." We invited Blair's school buddies and some of our friends to the park with their teddies for an afternoon of play time. We had picked out a park in Cinco Ranch because 1) Blair liked it a lot, 2) it had bathrooms (important when there are small kiddos around that are potty-training), 3) the park was beautiful with a lake nearby. The night before, we had driven by and to my horror - the mulch underneath the playground was all moved and the playground was roped off. Big mounds of fresh mulch were waiting (key word: waiting) to be spread. There were two landscapers standing near one of the piles, so I thought, "Oh, they are getting ready to spread the mulch." At least I had hoped.

The next morning I ran by the park again only to find it in the same condition. I was terribly upset because I had gained special permission to use this park. We ended up having to move the party at the last minute. We actually used the park down the street from our house and just "shuttled" people to our house if they needed to use the restroom. I tried to contact everyone that had RSVPed, and in the event that people had either missed my message - or showed up without RSVPing - we had left a sign and maps to the new park. It was very chaotic and I was stressed. Long story, short - I didn't use all of my cute decor and little details, but the party turned out great. Blair and her buddies had a blast and that's all that really matters. Despite it raining all week - the day turned out beautiful. In the midst of the chaos, I didn't take a single picture - but luckily, I have some. :)
