Fancy, Fabulous, and FOUR

I think all mom's of little girls should check out the new(ish) Fancy Nancy books. I totally love them. Not only are they full of great vocabulary and cute stories but the illustrations are like artwork on every page. Sydney is a big fan so naturally she had a Fancy Nancy Birthday party!

She had lots of "fancy" to choose from but this is the outfit she insisted on. She wanted her hair curly and "on top" like Nancy's so I did my best.

All the girls feeling fancy.

They each bedazzled their own tiara. The funny thing is Sydney would not put hers on for a picture. In the past week she has worn it for about 30 seconds total. But she loved the project.

In one of the Fancy Nancy books, she and her family go out for parfaits (Nancy says that's fancy for ice cream). I read them that book then we made our own pafaits. They got to choose their ice cream and top it with a number of sugary goodies. Most of them had more fun making than eating their parfaits. After desert, we painted toe nails and the girls danced in the living room til their moms came. It was a lot of fun and girl parties are WAY more mellow than boy parties.

That night, Sydney helped me make pizzas and she opened her presents from us. She was a big fan of her apple capris from Gymboree (clearance for $4). In that picture she is singing "apple bottom jeans, with the fur" Don't ask how she knows that ghetto song. She also got her own Leapster. No more fighting with Carter over his.

Garth and I are relieved that the "birth week" is over. We sure like to spread out the fun and this time it was spread over 8 days! We are ready for a break. So we are heading back to Canada for Spring Break in a week or two.
