It's true, The Sprout is officially
one year old!
one year old!
The band is booked and planning has begun, ooooooo planning a party is so much fun!
With less than 2 weeks to go blogging will have to take second place to party planning.
Let's see, we must decide on cupcake flavors, party games, land and water games and party favors......lot's to do!
Do you have any suggestions for a great 1st birthday party?
Our theme? Oh it's BARBER SHOP of course!
The History: it is Russian tradition that the Grandfather and the Father each take a snip of hair off of the birthday boy at the same time......for luck I assume. That reminds me I must get to work on those barbershop poles for the back yard, fun fun!
Don't forget to RSVP in the comments box below so Sassy can tell The Chef (who has so graciously volunteer to Bar-B-Que, thanks Chef!) how many burgers and hot dogs to order.

blow up a balloon, cover it in shaving cream ~ then break out the razors and see who does not pop their balloon.
brilliant! shaving cream----barbershop---someone has their thinking cap on! looking forward to that game for sure!
thanks!
Sassy and Sprout
we will be there for sure!!!
Pam, Rhys & Kenadi!!!
We will be there with bells (and swimsuits) on!
Will be bringing the cupcakes (I insist as we discussed) and a special Russian dish served at summer birthday parties.
We need to make the poles, let's get together for a work bee... I have it all figured out. We'll need some supplies.
Also, can we meet JL for some soup? Cupcake Saturday approaches and we should get together before I leave for Chicago... it can wait until after the party but we leave on the 11th.
Glad you liked the invites!
Be sure to hold the blown up balloon by the little tied off piece, then cover the balloon in a layer of shaving cream. Have an adult hold the balloon for really little kids. It is so cute when it pops, and the shaving cream flies everywhere. You could use those poncho rain coats as the barbershop capes to protect clothing.
Another cute idea~ using a small container ( old egg shell, plastic cup, mini flower pot) decorate the front for a face,( with a sharpie and googly eyes) fill with soil and top with fast growing grass seed. Water and get plenty of sun. As the grass grows it looks like hair and you can have guests cut or make a mini hair do. These are also good favors for kids and adults. You can customize them before to look like your guests, add glasses or makeup...
Cheers from VT ♥
ps~
you could also channel your inner Sassy and Loopy and have a station to create crazy hair styles. Pair up random party guests, have a table loaded up with dollar store goodies ( spray color, spray glitter, barettes, elastics, clippies, ribbon) have a contesT award prizes. It could be funny to see Mc Dreamy style Yodas hair....
LOVE IT! VT.....you are amazing! Imust go and get grass seed and pots right now! And the style centre.......how come we didn't think of that!
Thanks AGAIN!
Sassy
