So Saturday afternoon Isabella put on her finest princess clothes, Lisi dressed to be the "Palace Pixie", I loaded them onto the Royal Golf Cart and transported them across the street, to be retrieved at "6 Bells".
The Royal Golf Cart left home at 3pm and returned to bring our princess and pixie home at 6pm. (In case you 'missed' that, it was a 3 hour birthday party for a 6 year old!)
Isabella and Lisi in front of the Royal Palace bouncy house.
Princess make-up (applied by 'hired' 3rd grade girls for all 22 party goers)
The Palace Pixie (wings and all) holding her 'glass slipper'.The girls had a GREAT time, the birthday girl did NOT have a melt-down, and the parents seemed to enjoy the afternoon as well.
This is something that just does not register with me.

Okay...the whole idea of a princess party is great and let's do fun things for our kids BUT...I saw a local newscast about these "princess parties" for hire and I about blew my top. People are spending 5 or 6 HUNDRED dollars on a five year old's birthday! If we are doing over the top events for our preschoolers, how are we going to continue to top ourselves as they get older? It's like the people who rent limos for their 7th graders school dance. By high school prom, they are expecting a helicopter to deliver them to the event! Oh, don't get me started! Do the fun theme parties and the goodie bags and the dress up stuff....just be reasonable. There, I feel better. :) I'm not sure your friend's event quailified in my rant but a bounce house don't come cheap.
oh Pastor Lori, you rant did not even touch the surface of this party...my blog was me ranting in the kindest way possible:)
Note to self...don't send details or pictures of Emma's 2nd birthday to fc Amy for fear of being blogged about as a birthday don't :):):)
