What's next? Birthday surprises!

We're about a month away from my daughter's birthday, so I have plenty of time to go crazy with surprises. Plus, I have to plan a party for her preschool class and her regular party. If I go completely insane, I might do a special sleepover party, too.
Here are some of my early thoughts:

Preschool party

• We have enough time to make some really cool favors for the kids. We're thinking of planting some seeds in tiny pots so each kid can take the plant home as their favor. If we plant them now, we'll have time for them to germinate and even grow a bit. We just have to select the seeds carefully so that the time frame works out.

• For the actual party, Kira has been saving some recyclable goods (papertowel holders, water bottles, etc. in order to make some games to play in class. That with some fun party music will probably do us.

Month long Surprises

• I'm planning to do daily surprises starting on the first and ending on her actual birthday. We just did this for daddy, so she'll be expecting it. This is a work in progress, but here are some of the ideas: each day she'll get a few puzzle pieces from a real puzzle with a message written on the back. She'll also get something cool like a key chain with a light and a pic of the family (something she asked for). There will be coupons for a trip to our Gelato store and special playdates. Little toys saved from McDonalds, a note from daddy, etc.

I'm open to more ideas and I'd really love if you'd share your thoughts!
