Lego party coming!

I've spent the last few days getting geared for a girly Lego birthday party. We will be dining on a fabulous square Lego cake covered in marshmallow fondant. Cakes baked so far, waiting to assemble, frost, and coat in fondant tomorrow. I also made Lego marshmallow head pops for party favors, Lego mini figure crayons, and Lego brick candy. It is going to be so fun!! Sydney is turning 8 next week but we will be out of town on her birthday so we planned to have the party ahead of time. She graciously offered to have all her presents ahead of time so the car would overloaded! Grin!

Gotta clean and decorate tomorrow morning!! Her colors are hot pink, purple, and teal! The party is at 4, but we have lots of prep left!

There are so many awesome ideas, so I borrowed from the Lego party blogs and used marshmallow Lego pops, Lego juice box wraps, and a Lego cake. I also snagged the Lego party bags and the Lego typeface banners! Our door wreath was adapted by the girls into just and 8 and we had to scrap the duplo mason jar idea because the store was out of helium! Ack!! Who runs out of helium???

Emily's haircut

We have been trying to sell 13-15" of Emily's hair lately and I think we finally have all our ducks in a row. She gets to keep the money from the sale and will put half aside in savings, pay for the ad, and keep the other half for fun!
We advertised, found a buyer or two, got a good offer, and hopefully they will come through with payment. We videoed the cut, and will sens them proof of haircut and length. The they pay, and we ship.

So the cut process was traumatic, she burst into tears after her ponytail was trimmed. The jagged edges needed a lot of trimming to even out. The tears stopped after awhile, but it was heartbreaking for me. And there was no was to undo it.

She ended with an adorable angled bob made even cuter by the addition of some feathers. Choosing the feather was what stopped her tears! Yes I bribed her. But she looks soo cute!!!
