Guilty Shall Not Go Free

Tonight when I found a banana that was half eaten and I asked who had abandoned it. No one would confess. I told them that I would find out the truth and after matching teeth marks I did. Talking to the guilty party I said, "You can't lie to me. I watch CSI."

A Four Year Olds Fairy Land

When your 4 year old daugter wants a fairy birthday party it is time to embrace your inner girly girl. Not knowing where to start, I began with with the idea of an enchanted forest. Having the party in the backyard became a must. I quickly came up with ideas for the party gifts and food (with a little help from the internet). It wasn't until I made a late night Target run where I ran into an aquantance who suggested stars in the trees. With the help of some very sweet friends Hallie's Enchanted Forest came to life.







We served a lunch of fairy wands, fairy drops, butterfly and flower sandwiches, veggies and fairy dusted punch.































Every fairy needs wings and a pink tutu.

On the Spot Body Art came and painted the kids faces.

Luckly for us some fairies visited our yard this morning and left wings for each of the girls.

The fairy dusted cups were just the right touch for this yummy pink punch.

The butterfly and flower sandwiches were a hit.

Pink Punch for All!

Our craft table was provided by On the Spot Body Art. In addition to painting faces, they gave the girls "Fairy nails", and made Fairy Wands balloons.

On the Spot Body Art set up and helped the kids to find their inner fairy.

It was such a sweet day, full of fun.

This is What Sexy Looks Like.
