Birthday party planning

i was thinking it was super early to plan, but now i realize it's only a few months away. OK, that's not real soon, but it's time to start planning.

Char is so very into swimming right now that we decided to book this pool:
It's a 2' deep toddler pool with a little playground and water slide, fountains and waterfalls and sheer awesomeness!

So, i'm going to do an aquatic theme, specifically fish. For food, i was thinking of little sandwiches on this bread:

That's right! Goldfish bread!

i will also get regular bread and big angelfish-shaped cookie cutter and make more sandwiches. And cookies. Of course there must be cookies!
And, of course, we must have:
And

And, just for fun:


YES!!! That IS candy sushi!

As for cake, well, i was thinking of cupcakes with white chocolate fish suckers sticking through them, but i'm not sure now if i won't just use the sushi above (the top ones are cupcakes with dried fruit and candy inside to look like maki). But probably i'll do both.

And, um, if i'm going just a wee bit overboard, why not go WAY overboard?
