Turning Eight

We did things a little different this year for Princess' birthday. We spent her birthday weekend (last month) at the beach with Freckles and her family. Not only is Freckles my best friend, her son Blue-Eyed-Boy is Princess' best friend. We had a wonderful time and a special birthday celebration.

The following Friday, it was time to party, Pump It Up style. Pump It Up is an "inflatable fun zone" and the kids sure had fun!




One difference between homeschool birthday parties and non-homeschool birthday parties is that (in my experience) parents stay at homeschool birthday parties.

We've got the Paleo chicks. 

The Duchess (Princess' aunt/my sister).

More adults!


Lots of kids who had a fabulous time. Not bad for a bunch of unsocialized homeschoolers. Yeah, that's a never ending joke in our house.
There was cake and our traditional number candle . . . and a very happy Princess who still can't believe she's eight.




Happy Birthday to the most beautiful thing in my life. I am truly grateful every single day that you came into my life, Princess. I am a better person for it and motherhood is the most rewarding, life fulfilling experience I could ever hope to have. I love you, sweetheart!
