Simple Children's Birthdays


I am counting my lucky stars that we are still in a place where we can celebrate our children's birthdays in a simple way. 

Despite the fact that we have been to lots of birthdays at jump houses and gymnastics places, Henry is still okay with the idea of having a birthday party at a park or our house. I gave those two options to him, and he said, "Our house, of course." 

So there you have it! It will be a simple celebration planned by Henry. So far he has decided: 
  • Vegetable tray (this kid seriously cracks me up)
  • Gluten-free chocolate cake with mint icing and chocolate chips in the shape of a 7
  • Tater tots
  • A candy bar
  • Piñata
  • Pizza
  • Chicken nuggets
  • Fruit
  • Streamers
  • Balloons
  • Baby pictures
  • Goodie bags with erasers, pencils, notepads, and a bouncy ball

Sounds good to me!

    Not to be a nag but sick days are to encourage you not to go to work sick. If you have a plan for them it encourages you to bring your germs to work. This is why I despise PTO- makes everyone drag their flu to the office so they can summer in Portugal.

I promise I am open to feedback and truly appreciate hearing others' insights into my choices (it's like free therapy!), but please say it in the same way you would say it if we were sitting across from each other at brunch or next to each other on a park bench while our children play.
