I just can’t get that song out of my mind.\u00a0 I guess because I’m merely hours away from Mary Clare’s 4th Birthday Pinkalicious Mermaid Pirate Pool Party.\u00a0 (Mouth full, I know-she insisted.)\u00a0 The girls are napping and I’m waiting on Mel to get home from work so I can get to work on the party!\u00a0 I do love a good party.\u00a0 The girls’ team has already gotten the mermaid-pirate booty bags\u00a0 (heehee) together.\u00a0 I ordered super cute number 4\/starfish glitter cookies<\/a>, bought shells and beads and included a pirate eye patch all tied together in a cute little muslin bag.\u00a0 (Thanks to my sister’s wedding leftovers.)\u00a0 McCanless and I stamped the bags with nautical images and tied each with twine and a cute little “Love, MC pink pirate tag.”<\/p>\n

I took the girls party shopping last week and while most of everything is taken care of at the pool, we always like to add girls’ team touches.\u00a0 Pink and pirate table cloths, grass skirts, shells, shell necklaces, pink pool toys, pink and silver balloons, pink pool noodles, etc.\u00a0 I know it will be fun!<\/p>\n

We ordered a cake this week and with the girls’ help it is a masterpiece (mess) of mermaid, nautical, pirate, beachy decor.\u00a0 I love designing a cake to compliment our parties, and it seems that my girls have inherited my party planning genes, so I let them take over this year.\u00a0 It’s obnoxiously cute.\u00a0 We also have pink “ocean cupcakes” with waves and mermaids and pink glitter starfish<\/a>. \u00a0 Mary Clare ate more starfish cookies today than we’ll actually have at her party, but it’s her party and her day, so we’ll let her get away with it.\u00a0 Miss MC certainly deserves every single pink mermaid and piece of glitter that is what this party is made of.\u00a0 I can’t wait to see her in all of her 4 year old glory.\u00a0 Thanks be to God.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
