Karsyn County Fair…. The dress.

I know, I know. I still have a few more days left in my Disney trip report and I promise I will finish. I will.

Remember when I told you the little sister was turning 5? Well if you don’t and you want to read about it go here.

We are getting so excited for the Karsyn County Fair that we are practically bursting at the seams! Our Kitchen counters are filled with brightly colored lollipops and other yummy treats!

Before I show you all of those goodies though, let me show you “the dress”.

The little sister was very specific on what her dress must consist of.

Lots of farm animals, a ruffle or two, and a big bow!

OK. I got this.

Off to the fabric store I go. Nothing. On to the next one. Nothing. And then one more. Nothing.

My last resort, Wal-mart. PERFECT!

Check out all of this farm animal goodness,

Now for the dress….. While checking out Mallard Cove Mommy’s absolutely adorable 3 bears Birthday party I happened to notice the sweet little dress that she made for her daughter. It was just what I was looking for! Mallard Cove Mommy was able to make her own dress without a pattern but I had to turn to the link she listed to the etsy shop that inspired her dress. Enter Kissing Kumquats. I {heart} this shop more than you will ever know! Kissing Kumquats not only creates OOAK gorgeous clothing they also share their patterns with you! To make the little sister’s dress I purchased this downloadable pattern.

It was mailed super quickly, and in no time at all I was creating this

I had to make mine a tiny bit different because how could I ignore the little sister’s request for a ruffle?

And remember I’m just a wannabe sewer so you know this pattern ROCKS!!

I also got to use my early Mother’s day present

Yup I got a new sewing/embroidery machine! I LOVE it!

The little sister is oh so pleased with her big bow in back!

We interrupt your regularly scheduled Disney Trip report to announce…….

The little sister is turning 5!!

WOW! I can’t believe the little sister is turning 5 years old in just 12 short days!

I mean for serious. how did she go from this curly dark haired, semi blue eyed little baby doll?….

to this long, straight, blonde haired, semi brown eyed, animal lovin’, wild child?

It’s hard to believe it’s even the same girl! But it is. And I’ll just have to accept it.

Since this is the little sister’s golden Birthday we're gonna do it right, and even though we don’t live on a farm this little girlie is a farm lovin’ princess! If you ask her what she wants for her Birthday this is what she will tell you, and she wants these things in this exact order…..

A pig. A donkey. A horse. A goat. A cow. And last but not least, a farm!

Sorry little one I can’t give you a farm, but I can give you a birthday you’ll never forget!

The theme: Karsyn County Fair

The invite:

The gift?

Yup I’ve totally lost my mind! I let the husband talk me into getting the little sister 2 little piglets!

But not before I talked him into letting us get 2 of these little cuties

So while the little sister is not getting a “real” farm, she is getting one heck of a start to her very own {petting farm!}

 

Linking up to these awesome parties!

Disney World Journaling Day 4.. Real Men Wear Pink!!

Day 4

Breakfast at our Castle, Magic Kingdom, and fun at the Harmony Barber Shop

We had 8:15 am breakfast reservations this day at The sister’s err Cinderella’s Castle. I was so excited to get into the park before it opened for some awesome photo opps! We were awake by 6:30ish and the sisters hurried to get their “princess on”!

We got to the Magic Kingdom just in time, and I got my magical shots! Ahhhhhh! I LOVE it! 

I love this picture so much! You can’t really see it here, but if you look real close, between them it says, “partners”. Melt my heart!

 

After pictures it was time to head into the castle! The sister’s were mesmerized! We were greeted by Cinderella herself.

She made the most adorable comment to the little sister about weather or not she should switch her glove color to blue instead of white because surely the little sister was a real princess and her Fairy Godmother must know what she was doing! {LOVE}

The Castle was beautiful! And breakfast was Yummy! Again the little sister really only took a bite or two. Just way too much excitement for her!

I did however manage to capture this bite in action! Notice she is very careful not to let go of that magic wand!

We were visited by all the beautiful Princesses and even had a wishing ceremony! The sister’s loved this!

          

                         

    

After breakfast we had some unfinished business to take care of that was actually supposed to happen on our first day at the Magic Kingdom.

The Husband, for as long as I have known him has always worn his hair shaved, and you will hardly ever see him without a baseball hat on. During one of my many read ups on WDW I came across some info on the Harmony Baber Shop on Main Street in the Magic Kingdom. I had read and seen that they can do some pretty fun stuff at that place. It was then that the sisters and I challenged the husband to grow is hair out for the next 6 months only to have it cut in WDW! The only condition was that I got to tell the barber what to “do with him” and then he could shave the rest off that night in the hotel room. Let’s just say I’m pretty sure his jaw dropped when I told the woman how to cut and style his hair! Actually I think the stylist was a little surprised as well, she kept asking, “Can’t I just give him a normal hair cut?” LOL!

Here just see for yourself….

      

   

I was going to let him go with a more manly color, but the sisters insisted he get pink!

And  just so he wouldn’t feel left out the whole fam got a little touch of pink and pixie dust added to their hair as well!

  

This is a little out of order but I just love this picture of the little sister sitting outside of the barber shop!

After our hair styles we set off to Pirates of the Caribbean, The Jungle Cruise and the teacups! We all got loads of compliments on our hair and I think made some awesome money for the Harmony Barber Shop that day!

  

After the teacups we decided it was time for some Mickey ice cream!! YUM! And some Evil Emperor Zurg!

                                    

    

                    After Zurg we headed toward the front of the park to claim our spot to watch the fireworks. Along the way we met up with this guy who holds a special spot in the little sister’s heart!

She again, like last year asked him to marry her, and he again said yes! Yikes I wonder if I should be planning a wedding?

After Stitch we found our perfect spot for the castle projection, and the fire works and, it was another perfect ending to another perfect day!

           

Oh and just so you don’t forget…..

Real MEN wear PINK!

Calm down ladies, he’s already taken! And I am so blessed to call him “mine”!
