I wish I could say weather was the cause here as we've barely had a winter at all.<br /><br />I can't believe she's going to be 3 either! Her party will be relatively simple really. It's all the little details at this point. My mom's been a big help, even at a distance. I will be glad when it's over though. I'm an introvert through and through--and throwing a party of any kind is more stress than fun for me. I'll get through it and Mouse will love it. :-)Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-67342946298885661342014-02-19T11:03:51.591-08:002014-02-19T11:03:51.591-08:00Tracy - It's funny in a way because I just rea...Tracy - It's funny in a way because I just read a book in which the little girl was having a pirate themed birthday party too. <br /><br />The Monty Python themed party sounds like a lot of fun!

I want to read the book. <br /><br />I think the hype is part of it in regards to my reluctance to start reading Divergent. I dove too quickly into a couple other YA books that I ended up being disappointed in because of hype. I should know better.
