The Invitation
Arrived quite a while ago.
I was wondering what kind of party
Mimi & TheIslandScout
would host for
BabyE's first
birthday!
The outside looked like this~

and saw this~

I called Mimi and asked what the party's theme was.
"Ha! Ha! Very funny"! was the response I got.
Well really!
She wanted to know if I had seen Martha Stewart's
Monkey Cake!
Nope!
Well, look it up!
I did!
See below~
Now how cute is that, I ask you?
That means I have to go shopping...

I know that Mimi wants a gift card for pictures.
BabyE needs a one year picture taken.
(along about Baby #3-she will be lucky to get a 5 year old picture)
But, in time, she will know that.
Oh, drat!
That means I have to go to the MALL.
I am NOT a MALL person!
I like little independent shops...
And Resale Shops-
And Antique Shops-
But that's just me~
Anyway-
It's off to the Mall~
Here we are-
I give them money and they swipe a card
and off I go.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZoLlbLV15GzHodzlq-FbXuL5M_ndkpnm0MH3HtoyBF421Nq1SKBXGp1ZhBphbPnO21Gm4AiYAYLbJt9ukTY36IPc09UTdVeg-XewaS4L7_S_eXtEsMvaGZbL49llDP8nyXrJhXVQnHAQ/s320/ryan+mouth+012.jpg)

Wait! Wait! What is that I see right around the corner?
Ah...it's the Gymboree shop!
Ah...it's the Gymboree shop!
They might have a little something to add to
the gift card package.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-W2iqbqkPc_l7qOU8KK9RoJZFY9FukS4HCB8hOzTsmbCqBLtG07KPa7TkJIl9SJh6VqOwB4kmXrPpL-NNyQMizNkxIUK0liFf0HHAFiiCVXgH69m9AV3bfbMN7Kjagz59d68voF0e3ZE/s320/ryan+mouth+011.jpg)

I walk in and am greeted by THE CUTEST
sales clerk.
Isn't she a doll?
And..she was just as sweet as she looks!
Can I help you?
Nope~just looking!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvgUrsUiE_zT2dihSmzNvxFL6g8d-u0IfPXEtHoxqYr8e2qCp9kogtyDS9nMZ3fFtGKYGGtxDThqRtSlmB9gYZBHBC2YRy1fqiwvDgUAX-WPHpzTkPp_FKmKjPrO4KXT2n_jtqmeAXT7w/s320/ryan+mouth+010.jpg)

Wait a minute!

MONKEY CLOTHES?
