Indian Birthday

Launa is having an Indian birthday this year. It just crept right up on me! Anyway, I've been promising her a princess sleepover party since we moved here. I told her that once we got into our own place and settled in that we could do one (because I accidentally bought her a princess sleep-over party planning book, before I realized what it was. Note to self: look closely at the books you buy for your children from now on.) . Her birthday is probably the best time to do it so I don't have to do more than one party for her this year. Anyway, I'm not sure where the book is, and her birthday is Monday. I guess I'd better find it. Now, should I do the slepover party this Friday night (2 days from now), or do I do it the Friday after her birthday? If I do it this Friday, it'll be over sooner. How much planning really needs to go into a 4 year-old's birthday party ayway? She wants a tea party, so all I ned to do is make sweet tea and cookies, she wants hotdogs for dinner, easy, and an Ariel cake - also easy - make cake, put Ariel toy on top. Hmmm...then we could do hair and nails, her cousins could each bring their own princess dresses, and for party favors, we could buy them cheap dollar store jewelry! Friday it is!
