With
less than a month left to prepare for Wyatt’s first birthday, lots of things
are going on. First, the hubster and I have put building on pause while we
ready our home for visitors. That’s right—we’re trying to keep Wyatt’s first
birthday small and at home. Second,
we finally sold our old 4-wheeler and the hubs’ latest impulse-buy: the ’87 RamCharger.
Both have really helped in getting the yard ready for visitors, as it has
cleared out lots of parking space and enabled Colt to clean out the garage (|). But, back to the little man at hand… birthday.
I know,
I know… birthdays are the best time to branch out, rent a small amusement park,
and hire trained monkeys to dance with the guests.
But let’s
be real—Wyatt is 1! And this isn’t an episode of My Super Sweet Sixteen
Birthday Bash (if you have no idea what I’m talking about, you can check out
the madness here).
So, in
trying to keep things simple, I have been searching {for months now} a basic
theme to surround the party with. I have debated over lots of thing, pinning
different things on my Pinterest {if you haven’t become part of the pinterest
revolution, you need to check it out asap! pinterest.com}. First I wanted to do
a Super Why! theme, then I wanted Pete the Cat, and then I had given up a
character theme all together and opted for a basic green/blue/yellow color
scheme.
Then,
last week, while perusing etsy.com for cake toppers, I found what I’d been
looking for.
You
see, I’ve always wanted a little boy. I have even always said I would have a
boy first. Then when we chose to not find out our baby’s gender, I got really
nervous about all my wishing and hoping—so I just stuck out the pregnancy with,
“I would like a boy, but I love little girls as well.”
Then
Wyatt showed up and I saw stars-- and bugs, snails, dirty hands, and bow ties.
So when
I happened upon this—I knew I had found just the thing to plan Wyatt’s first
birthday bash around.

Why
didn’t I think of that? So simple. Everyone little guy needs a fake mustache to
play with. And what little man wouldn’t want an entire party dedicated to
looking more like Tom Selleck?
After
searching around the internet for a while, I found some lovely cupcake toppers
that have a blue and green border with a brown parchment paper design. (For
anyone who’s ever received a Christmas gift from me, you know that I wrap
everything in brown shipping paper—no silly prints for this girl. Pretty bows
only.)
The
little man’s party is slowly coming together. I’m trying to keep things simple
and not get caught up in petting zoos and magic acts… but I have to admit,
bobbing for apples doesn’t sound like going overboard—right?! ;-)
Well, maybe I'll keep it a bit more simple than that. Maybe hotdogs, lemonade, and fake mustaches on sticks. And cupcakes, of course. I think my favorite part might be preparing for the cake smash. I absolutely can't wait for that one.
Until then-- here are some cuties to gaze at in preparation for Wyatt's own Mustache Birthday Bash!
