Posting what I did was a knee-jerk reaction and bad for two reasons. First, because it was more than a little passive aggressive... dealing with the situation head-on is what's called for; not whining about it on my blog. Second, because even though I do my fair share of complaining on here, angry diatribes aren't what this blog's about, and I felt that leaving it posted... I don't know, lowered the tone or something. Sorry to post & pull... Thanks Ann (and thanks to Maria & Esther, too). Posting what I did was a knee-jerk reaction and bad for two reasons.

(It's still on my reader.) And being that I'm using the g-reader, I often miss comments and in all likelihood whatever it was that set it off. Lack of perfect agreement on every topic is no excuse for jerkiness. Sorry you were on the receiving end. a Hey,

I even went back today and searched on 'ariel' and it pulled up. What a dork I am, lol. Anyway, that's pretty much perfect. One thing down. As for the cakes... hmmm. At least some of the people explain how they made theirs- makes it much easier for me to attempt that way. How great is the internet anyway? I figured people would maybe post pictures of their cakes, but never both describing how they made them. But I guess if you can look up how to make bombs online, it stands to reason cakes would be out there too... Wow, how the heck did I miss that when I searched at mytoys??

Arielle party set there. Or is that not quite what you were looking for? http://www.mytoys.de/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/eCS/Store/de/-/DEU/DisplayProductInformation-Start;sid=-yti3SM9_nli3WXiVvoD1SI3n4uxJaBdfLU=?ProductSKU=de_DE-1603839 I guess for the cake you could do the old "Barbie doll with a skirt made out of cake" thing, but have her lying down or sitting and make the cake look like a fish tail. Easier said than done, I know. :-) There's also a cute idea here: http://entertaining.about.com/od/cakebragbook/ig/Cakes-for-Little-Kid-Birthdays/Little-Mermaid-Cake.htm And a whole page of 'em here: http://www.coolest-birthday-cakes.com/the-little-mermaid.html Did you search for “Arielle” at mytoys.de because they have a 49 pc.

You should really track that down for your kids. I read last year that Nena was founding an anarchist elementary school. You should really track that down for your kids.

Ariel is spelled Arielle in German, so if you're searching online try the German version as well. P.S.

Not online, but the actual store. They usually have a fairly large selection of kids' themed party supplies. Have you tried Toys ‘R’ Us? Not online, but the actual store.
