The Bu!

After a birthday party Leo had to attend, I drove the boys out to Malibu. Their godfather Brady was visiting, so we couldn't miss out on the chance to see him! As far as birthday parties go, to me, this was one of the best. First, because the family asked for no gifts, only donations to Haiti (or any other charity you wanted to support). And second, because they did not give party favors. I really hate party favors. I dislike them because most of the time they are plastic crap that fall apart that the boys don't need. Or it's candy, which the boys also don't need. The other thing I don't like about party favors is that my children now expect them and ask at the end of every party, "May I please have a goody bag?" I've always felt it weird that you expect a present when it's not your party. Can't the birthday boy or girl have their special day? Does everyone have to get something? I hate it. I also hate the toys that they get at the dentist, the doctor, or the restaurant. Why does there have to be a reward? Why can't the experience be the reward?

On the beach, we had a fabulous time and it ended with Charlie getting hit in the head by a flying  surfboard! Apparently, it had not been properly secured. It knocked Charlie down. Too bad I didn't get it on film because Charlie keeps saying he wants to be on YouTube. I'm sure that would have gotten a lot of views! When we got home and Charlie washed his hair, we realized he has a HUGE bump on his head!
Poor Charlie. Thank goodness it didn't hit him in the eye or mouth!


Outfit:

Even though we were beach bound, it is still a little chilly. Sundays are very hard for me to get dressed. It is the day of rest!

Shirt: Forever 21. This was a pregnancy purchase because it is very stretchy.

Sweater: Clothing swap. Alfani. 

Pants: Old Navy. These are my too big kick-around pants.

Shoes: Fit Flops.


Hat: This was knit by the boys' other godfather Josh! He is multi-talented! It is so lovely!
