Now I'll Know Who is Paying Attention!

Little Bit's birthday is this Friday (11-11-11) and we are having her little party on Saturday evening. She has requested a Tangled party, for which there are tons of ideas online. I made a Pinterest board a few months ago and this week I'm putting it all into action.

Sure, they sell Rapunzel dresses at Wally World for $20, but they were too short for her and plus, I made this one for about $3.00.

Of course, Rapunzel needs hair.


Still need to glue some flowers in the braid.

I've got printables to go up around the house and I'm going to attempt to make Rapunzel's tower out of Swiss Cake Rolls. We'll see how that goes.

But since family will all be gathered for the event, we figured the party would be a good time to give her this as a present:


See? Are you paying attention? S made the shirt for her last night with his mad computer skillz. She knows about it--the girls are in on the plan. It'll be the last gift she opens and she'll turn it around to show everyone and we get to watch our family's faces as it slowly dawns on them.

Can't wait for this party! (And can't believe my little girl will be 8!)
