Cupcake Party!

Thursday, May 21, 2009
I knew as soon as a I saw this place last summer that Kate would have her little birthday party here.  And when I asked her what kind of party she wanted she replied, "a cupcake fancy nancy princess party!"  So, this posh cupcake boutique was the perfect locale.

Kate's birthday is still almost 2 weeks away but I knew that once everyone was out of school it would be hard to get the pre-school crowd to a party (too many older siblings). We will have a small family celebration on her actual birthday. There are a lot of photos again....this is my scrapbook:0)

Okay, now I know this outfit is over the top.  I tend to choose more understated clothes for Kate. However, she picked out this oh so posh "fancy nancy" get -up.

I made butterfly shaped finger sandwiches for the girls.

I chose this one~YUM!

The goodie bags contained tiaras, princess lip balm, necklaces, stickers and pink sparkly face powder and lollipops.

After all that sugar, the girls ran back and forth.  Luckily we had the place almost to ourselves.  I stopped them once I realized they had lollipops in their mouths too.

  5. IM loosing a contest.

    A local contest full of people that make videos for a living and have HUGE networks of working people. But, I am a SAHM that wipes butts all day, and dont have the following to win the contest. They have networks. Companies. Friends. Social networks.

    I have none. I just want people to click om the video. All views count. And rating the video counts WAY more, and I really want to prove to CLE that mommy bloggers have a comuunity that withstands fortune 100 companies.

    help me?

  37. After following your blog for the past couple of years, it's really neat to see a video of Kate talking and singing! It makes her personality which you capture in pictures so much more real.
