La Petite Spa...yup, for kids

Madeline was invited to one of her friend's birthday parties this weekend at a Spa. Madeline had a blast, yes, my girly girl was loving all of the dress up, microphone singing on stage, and pampering that came her way. Oh, and the sparkles...so many sparkles in her hair, on her arms. She was in heaven.


The entire place was PINK. I mean, really, really pink all over the place.

Madeline had a choice of having her fingernails, toenails painted or having her hair done. She chose having her hair done. Some sort of fancy combination of partial french braid with a pony tail and curled hair at the back with a curling iron. Then all topped off with sparkles. Whew

Once everyone had on their dress up clothes and had their nails or hair done, the staff at the Spa provided a photoshoot for each of the girls and then did a group shot. There was a big sign to my left where it says "no photos during photo shoot" which I read after I snapped this one and got a dirty look. Of course (if you want to purchase any of these pictures that they take during the photo shoot, the spa is more than happy to oblige - heh).

The rest of the party involved pizza and taking turns on stage singing into the microphone.


I had multiple parents exclaim that Madeline is such a performer and is certainly not shy - She was up there every minute she was able to be...

The party was fun, although a tad odd. It was an hour long party and the birthday girl arrived 20 minutes into the party! For the first 15 minutes there was just Maddie, her friend R from school rocking the dress up costumes, then a couple more guests arrived but still no birthday girl. One guest got lost and they arrived with 10 minutes left in the party!

Next week is Madeline's 5th birthday - we're counting down the "sleeps". She is super excited and can't wait to be 5 - I on the other hand have, shall we say, mixed feelings about it as my baby is growing up.
