I know I’m late in posting this but a few weeks ago Hannah turned four years old. For her birthday we went to Winger’s for lunch and then went and saw Pixar’s Up. (Up was an amazing movie that I would recommend to anybody.) As soon as we walked into Winger’s, Hannah told the hostess that it was her birthday. This worked to her advantage since she got a free asphalt pie after the meal. As you can see, she enjoyed wearing it almost as much as she enjoyed eating it.
Hannah received some pretty cool birthday presents. Chelsea gave her some clothes and shoes but the clothes were too big and the shoes were too small so Holly had to exchange them. Yesterday she had some time so she took Hannah to the store and let her choose the clothes and shoes that she wanted. Hannah found some pink glitter covered shoes with Disney princesses on the inside so she had to have them. My response to Holly when Hannah showed them to me was “Really? You really let her get these? Really?”
Don’t get me wrong. The shoes are cute, they’re just not very practical unless you’re trying to get back home to Kansas or you need a trail of something for finding your way out of the woods. Of course, I’m not a four-year-old little girl so I naturally wouldn’t see the benefit of having shoes that look like they were attacked by a bottle of glitter. Hannah loves them though and, since they were for her birthday, I will have to be tolerant of them.
There is a problem though in having anything covered in glitter; it will eventually work its way loose of the bonds that keep it affixed to the paper, Styrofoam, or in this case, shoes. Eventually, everything in the house, including the dog, will be covered in glitter. Visitors will think that we spend all of our free time doing arts and crafts and I’m not sure that I want people to have that perception of me.
I like to do crafts. I work quite a bit with glitter, but don’t worry, I make tough stuff like daggers and skulls. The thing about glitter is if you get it on you, prepare to have it on you forever because glitter doesn’t go away. Glitter is the herpes of craft supplies. It’s like, oh great here comes the sun; flare up!

Those shoes are adorable! I’m sorry the clothes I got were so mismatched! I want to see the clothes hannah picked out though next time I come up.
I think the shoes are beautiful! Wish my mom would have let me have such fun things. Holly you are such a fun mom.
