Polynesian Princess Party!!!

Just wanted to share with my cyber family the fun time had by all at my daughter's half birthday party.  Because her birthday is the week of Christmas, she's always sharing the spotlight with the jolly big guy and his reindeer crew.

Because no one is ever available for a party around her real birthday, and not even a month later because of NFL playoffs (SHEESH!) after her 3rd birthday I vowed to do half birthday parties.

Part of the "investment" in a pool in the backyard of our "new" (we've been here 2 years now, but still seems new to us) house is the "savings" on parties by hosting

them at home with built in entertainment!  HA HA HA!  Well, so far so good.  But only thanks to my good friend Colleen, owner and party planner for Crown & Tiaras Party Planning who really did me a favor! 

I'll see if I can do some searching and photo editing to post the invitations I made.  Stay tuned...

Ok, so literally LOL here! I totally got caught "vrooming" my cart around the corner by a worker at the local discount department store. Yah, so I am definitely one of those moms that makes all the sound effects, BUT...this time I was caught doing it while the kids were at school. I guess it's just a habit that I find entertaining myself HAHA HA HA HA HA!!!! oops ;) :)

All rave reviews for our boys suits!

Dapper Dudes!

Your boy will look dapper at his special occasion in one of our boys suits we have at The Spunky Monkey. Starting at $54.95, these boys 3 piece suits are very reasonably priced. Lito Childrenswear is known for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail.  They have out done themselves with these little pint size suits! Everyone that orders one is pleased as punch, however we take no responsibility for your little one not spilling punch on himself ;).

Consult the size chart  to make sure you're ordering correctly.  These suits run true to size, not big or small.  If you can get your little guy to stand still, measurements will help.  Most of our suits come with a shirt and tie, however, if you'd like to get an extra, we've got those too!
