Days to go...
I am working on birthday plans right now. Both for Baby Girl who will be 8 and myself who will be... forty... something... mumble... mumble... haha...got ya...you thought I was going to tell you didn't you! My birthday is the 23rd and hers is on the 29th. She's easy! We will be having a Royal Tea Party for her celebration! The girls will drink from china tea cups, ice their own mini muffins, have finger sandwiches, play games and do a craft. I stumbled across this one today and thought that it would be perfect for the girls.
(click to go to site)I'll cut out all the flowers ahead of time and have a small bowl at each place setting for each individual girl. We are going to have a "guess how much candy" is in the jar contest, pin the kiss on the frog and musical glass slipper (think musical chairs only passing a shoe around instead) I think all that should be enough to keep them busy for a couple of hours... although I am open to suggestions from those who have done something like this before.
I'm a little harder. I don't even know what kind of cake I want. I don't know where I want to go to eat (hubby always takes me out) or what I want to do for entertainment. I'm like a vast desert wasteland when it comes to ideas for myself. I haven't been much help in the gift department either. I don't know what I want. I suspect that the problem is that I just don't want Spartan to spend a lot of money on me. We just don't have a lot this year...it's been a tough year. Spartan always goes overboard on me. If I tell him I want a music CD, he's likely to buy me that AND a new CD player to play it in. I know it's because he loves me, but I'm worried about it this year.
Do you have any clever ideas for me? Inquiring minds want to know!
