Yesterday 5 adult-ish people sat around brainstorming all kinds of fabulous ideas for a little girl's birthday while she found catching lady bugs much more fascinating than all that boring planning.
The mermaid theme will be at a pool with sea-like decorations, a little mermaid cake, and oceanic party favors. In a grand display the sea king will give a speech about the treasures locked away in the chest at the bottom of the pool then dive in to open the chest allowing these goody-filled bags to float to the surface for each child present. Once the pool fun is complete two mer-men will carry the 5 year old guest of honor on her throne through the pool and up to the cake to blow out her candles. Sounds pretty fun huh? I'd enjoy it if I were a 5 year old. Heck, I'd enjoy it if I were a 35 year old.
Yesterday 3 grown men ran around the party store squealing with glee as we grabbed all the pink, princessy, mermaidesque, sea-like accessories for the affair. I'm nearly positive that we're all having more fun with this than any the kids will. In fact, I'm probably looking forward to the event more than the soon-to-be 5 year old, but she can just bite me cuz this is (evidently) my mermaid party too. Now where's my tiara?

because there’s nothing that amuses me more than hearing your pathetic opinion
Well, I know who is going to want a unicorn themed party later this year, and he isn't 5 years old.
