This year we skipped a big party with all the trimmings, and instead kept it simple for our darling Miss E. Starting with a chocolate sprinkle  donut and special balloon at breakfast.

Followed by playing with sister (and her favorite lunch- a costco hot dog!) Oh, and presents being opened as she felt like it.

Just a reminder that great birthday does NOT have to = big production. It was a fun and relaxing day for everyone, and the birthday girl even got to stay up LATE (8pm) so she could see one of her favorite shows on the Discovery Channel. Exterminators. (yeah, she’s a weird one)

PS- the cupcakes are white cake with pink jimmies in them for added pizazz. Then frosted with butter-cream or chocolate. She couldn’t decide so I did both. The whole tower is topped off with some my little pony birthday stuff I found months ago and knew would make cute cupcake tower decorations.

good times.

poof

so one rainy day I was a bit bored and decided to see if miss R’s hair is finally long enough to put up.  That’s what we’re calling the teeny tiny ‘poofs’ of hair that are the girl’s pony tails. It’s crazy cute- the hair (has to be done wet!) curls up in a teeny ringlet type thing.

Then, when she pulls them out hours later she looks a bit like princess Leia. (no photo of that yet, sorry)

I’m here-

First off i owe a prize drawing and that winner is Samantha! (little clear box full ‘o treasure). e-mail me (mflaum at comcast . net) to claim your prize.

So I’ve been MIA  for quite a few days, egads over a week! First I was super busy with all the prize shipping and such from my BPS crop, and then I got (still have) weird sick thing going on. I’m still not on real food (just bread, oatmeal, water, and gatorade really) but starting to feel a bit better.

I’ll be back for a real post soon as I have something interesting- oh! and I have a few new prizes too.

Happy Monday!
