When it comes to our kids’ birthday parties, I always have two things in mind…. Keep it simple. Make it special. This year we decided to have Holden’s party at the Wildlife Learning Center. We’d never been there, but learned that they do parties so I thought it’d be something different and educational at the [...]
The circus came to town this past Saturday {Holden’s actual birthday} and it was nothing short of chaos ~ beautiful chaos. We packed almost 60 {59 to be exact} clowns, big & little, into our circus tent and I think everyone had a grand time. The day started off with Jay taking Holden to get [...]
The spectators crammed into the circus tent, lined the bleachers and had a smashing time at Holden’s 5-ring circus celebration! It was {the greatest show on earth}, but I feel like I’ve been hit over and over with a stick. Party wrap up and Holden’s belated 5-year birthday countdown to come! {You can read Elliott’s [...]
Once Holden’s FORTH birthday was over, I immediately went into pick-a-theme mode for his FIFTH {coming up in about a month}. Remember this post? Well, since then I wondered if a circus/carnival theme was too overdone ~ if he was too old since most of the parties I saw were for one, two and three [...]
While browsing through the racks at TJMaxx last week, I came across some Hurley skinny jeans in size 3T for $7 a pair. I didn’t have Holden with me, but figured they’d fit since he’s itty bitty… See, he loves them! I don’t think skinnys are OK for just anyone…in fact you will probably NEVER [...]
This little fetus had his first day of his {last} year of preschool today… Man, five years has never gone so fast. I remember September 28, 2006 like it was yesterday… And in 5 years from now when he’s starting 4th grade, today will seem like it was just yesterday, too… Elliott sent him off [...]
Cue Alice Cooper… School’s out for the summer, folks. Holden had his last day of {instruction} yesterday and sang sweetly in the end-of-the-year performance last night. Just like that. His first year of preschool is over. Poof! We went from this: To this: All that in 10 months which translates to about 5 weeks these [...]
Holden was {drafted} to his first t-ball team! Not only will we be rooting for the Padres this Spring/Summer, but we’ll be cheering on Holden and the Orioles! {via} So exciting….lots of good buddies on his team, too! When I told Holden what his team was called, Elliott overheard and yelled, “Yay! The Oreos….I LOVE [...]
Happy Birthday, sweet Holden Oliver Aspiras! Here you are in your little bouncer almost 4 years ago… now you’re bouncing off the walls and keeping Mama & Dada busy! You are the friendliest little guy and will join any group of boys at a park {or Chick-fil-A play area!} and will easily fit in. You [...]
