Is everybody ready for a Fancy Nancy Party?

This weekend we are having Piper's fourth birthday party...it's themed of course...a FANCY NANCY party of monolithic (fancy for large) proportions! The house is packed with all manner of things that could be construed as 'Fancy' or 'Posh' in little girl terms! Swags of tulle adorn the dining room chandelier, as do iridescent butterflies and faux pearls. Favor bags festooned with glittery goodies and delicious chocolates are placed up high(just in case some sticky fingers think they can raid the booty early! All there is to do is hang the curtains in the dining room, assemble some of the store bought food (you have got to be crazy if you think I'm making party food at this point!), pick up the cake and balloons and finish off preparing some of the party games. I laid out the table to see what it would look like and frankly I think it looks pretty snazzy(old people talk for great).

I cannot wait to see Piper's face on Saturday morning! We have a few surprises in store for her before the party starts..including a secret trip to the salon for Fancy Nancy hair...perhaps some curls, a few bright pink extensions and a lot of glitter! I sure hope she likes her cake...I ordered two small cakes from our local bakery one 7" and a 6"...I have to place one on top of the other...if the store did it they'd have charged me 'wedding' prices which was frankly too 'fancy' for this Mummy! I would have liked to replicate(fancy for copy) this cake

...but that would have been unimaginably difficult...so instead I'll post it here and drool over it.

and since I'm working my derriere off to get this party off the ground, I thought a happy little working song from Pipers favorite movie would be appropriate
