One Year

Remember this?

How did that turn into this?

It seems that the year has FLOWN by. But our little B turned 1 on October 21st. (i know, i know. i'm late in posting this. read my blog hiatus and understand that i have been OVER IT. i wonder if blogs gather virtual dust? my friend Priscilla posed that question and if it is true, then my blog needs a serious dusting) Anywho. Sprinkles' first birthday was at Tanaka Farms in Irvine. It was a gorgeous day and the kids and the grownups all had a lot of fun. Because B turned one, The Love and I had a long talk about the precedent we would set if we spent hundreds of dollars on our oldest child's birthday. Unrealistic and unnecessary. B doesn't even know she turned one. Nor does she care about the amount of money we spent. Scotty and I are not about that anyways. We have had multiple discussions about Sweet 16 on MTV and gag at the thought that these poor girls grow up thinking that money is the most important thing in life. Porsche's do not show up at the front door of most people's homes on their birthday. Character is a huge focus in our family and so with that in mind I had a couple of girlfriends over the night before and we made most of the decorations. With a little help from Miss B of course. She fingerpainted a painting to match the theme- Hello Kitty Halloween. It was perfect. Everyone got to go on a tractor ride, through the corn maze (how ironic. corn is also known as maize but there really was a MAZE, you know like the labrynth. i'm a nerd sorry) and pick a pumpkin as their party favor. It couldn't have been a better day.
