Early decorating

On Monday and Tuesday, Lily and I were at my mother in law's so we could start setting up the front room of her house for Lily's first birthday. It's not until next Saturday but last year for my baby shower, it was just my MiL and we did it all last minute. Although my baby shower looked great, it was stressful and I was sososo pregnant when I had to help. For Lily's bday we wanted to get everything planned and set up as early as possible.

We may have bit off a little more than we can chew with this party but it's honestly better than an all pink princess birthday like my MIL wanted to do, in my opinion. The theme I picked was originally Hello Kitty but I decided to make sure she was interested and it wasn't just because of my preference. Lily loves the Bubble Guppies! We watch it as often as possible, I think it's a really cute show as well. Sadly, there's pretty much nothing out there for Bubble Guppies except a few party items and some expensive squirt toys like I got last week(I'll post pics when I get the chance). 

We got the front room pretty much done yesterday, it looks different compared to what I had in mind but we worked with what we had and I think it'll be great. We can't exactly start decorating the rest of their house because their youngest son has the tendency to pick at, take, and break things so we have to wait until like Wednesday to start on the front and backyard, living room, and kitchen. My current task at hand is to finish making everything I need in Microsoft Paint, printing it out, cutting it out(bleh), and shopping for everything I need to finish this shopping list. 

I can't wait for everyone to enjoy the hell out of this party, still not sure how many people are going but who cares, my baby is going to be so happy to see so many people there. Oh crap, just remembered I need to attempt to make her tutu this weekend! So yeah, planned on buying a custom tutu and shirt like a month ago, hubby didn't want to, so my MIL got one that's more like a skirt. Well I found this tulle at the 99 cent store and I think I need to at least try to make her one like I wanted. We'll see if I even have the time with all the other stuff I need to do. >.<

Anyways, here's some progress pics, I'm going to go take a nap with my daughter. ^.^
