The other morning I got an update: "Mommy, I don't want a Jungle Book party anymore. I want a MERMAID party. Everyone has to be a mermaid. Mermaids with foofy skirts". Off hops the almost 4yr old as she dictates mermaid colors. Goodbye jungle party. I really wasn't looking forward to a sand pit anyhow.
Foofy skirts should be easy enough right? A few hundred yards of tulle in various blues and greens, slicing it into sections and knot tying right? Lucky for me, tulle is on sale so off we go. Ten foofs down and I start getting requests for stuffed animals to have foofs. I drew the line on the dog foofs. Not because the dogs would care but I grow tired of tulle. The ladies at the fabric store always want to know why you are getting whatever fabric. Especially when you buy 40yrds of tulle. I have heard how they all dislike tulle. Each has their own little story about having to roll up yards of tulle from flopped weddings.
After all the slicing is said and done, I cannot wait to see all the kids in their foofy foofs. Now I just have to decide if I should do something else for the kids that don't want a skirt. Off to ponder.
