Fancy Nancy Event

After some pirate-y fun earlier in the week it was nice to do something super girly. My mom requested that Roo and I come to the Fancy Nancy event at her library for her birthday. We brought Roo's bestie, Miss Boo, as well. The event attracted more fancy girls than the library anticipated, but it was a fun time. They had a large dress-up doll game on the wall, crafts & coloring pages, a fancy word game and picture bingo. My fancy girls made crowns and butterflies. They even took turns putting the markers on the pictures in for fancy bingo.

If I were in charge, I would have done one event for 2-5yr and one for 6yr and up. It would have cut down on crowding. It also would have allowed age appropriate crafts for each group and eliminated the need for multiple rounds of bingo. The girls held their own though. I thought the crafts turned out lovely. I was impressed at how well they waited for the second round of bingo. Everyone looked fabulous, trés chic.

It was a milestone, to take Roo and a friend somewhere like big girls. They were so good. They shared accessories and craft supplies. They followed directions and everyone took potty breaks. I'd do it again in a second. The only (very minor) down side was the way my bones felt about all that time on the floor. Small price to pay, I'm so glad we went. I'm so grateful for my girlly girl and her sweet friends. Bonne journée!
