Crazy, crazy week

Tomorrow is Mercedes surprise 7th birthday party! Her actual birthday is on Thursday, but considering that she has wanted to be involved in all parts of the planning, the only way I hope I can really surprise her is be having the party the day before her birthday! lol

We are doing the party over at my sister's house cause they have a nice big yard with lots of room for 9 girls and 1 boy to run around. The first order of business is a treasure hunt so my mom found this old case for me and we spray painted it gold and then I cut out the black letters.


Of course every treasure chest should have lots of jewels and even a letter.

This was a plain ol brown gift bag and I just let Mercedes go crazy painting, gluing and just plain decorating in any way she choose. This will be used as a pinata and is full of more goodies.

We are also doing a craft...super easy when you are all ready a scrapbooker...I didnt have to buy a thing! lol I'll try to post some pics tomorrow.

Other than that, snacks, tag, hide & seek, and cupcakes iced with whipped cream and fresh strawberries.

So that is all for now...I will be ready for bed soon...it has been a crazy, busy week!
