I am in the middle of a pile of pink-papers, ribbons, fabrics, dresses, dishes...
But I do love it all!
Miss S wasn't even going to HAVE a birthday. Neither of my kids were this year.
We had already planned to take Sammy to Disneyland on her actual birthday, so we were just planning on making that a big deal.
She's going to be 3, going anywhere IS a big deal, right?
Well, then one day I pick her up after school (my school) and the conversation went something like:
"Mommy, all my friends are coming to my birthday party."
(I'm thinking, ha! Really? Who is throwing it for you?)
"They are all coming cause I'm gonna be trree."
I kinda just smiled, thinking, poor girl. She's not even having one!
We've been going to many of her friends' birthday parties recently (so many spring babies), so how do I tell her that the one she has planned for herself is really not going to happen.
Well, yeah, I could. She'd get over it.
But on the other hand, kids are SO fun to have parties for because they truly LOVE everything about them!
Probably because they don't have to BUY a thing, OR CLEAN a thing!
So now, I'm in a pink bubble of zebra, jew-lows, tiaras, and ribbons.
How could planning a princess party NOT be fun?
those invitations are so cute! can't wait to see pictures of the big day.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great attitude you have about planning your royal extravaganza. Planning parties is never easy. I can't wait to see how it all turns out.
ReplyDeleteYour invitation was so so adorable :) I'm sure the party will be so fun and cute :) Kids are a blast at birthday parties.
ReplyDeleteYou will be glad you did! I started parties when she started asking... and yep... it was free... ;) three! ;)
ReplyDeletelove the invites!
Cute story......I love your photography.
ReplyDeleteI am friends with Kelly Castellon and came across your blog. Your children are so cute and I love looking at your photography. Just thought I would leave a note so you would think I was some creep.
That gave me a big giggle.. I wonder if kids ever understand how much goes into a party.. but then again that might take all the fun out of it.. LOVE your invitaionss.. They were just darling..
