Fun, Fun, Fun in the Hot, Hot, Sun!
A couple of my girlfriends and I put on our "first annual" Back 2 School Party 4 Smarties!
this was such a fun distraction from back to school anxieties for the kids. I think they all needed a little fun and crazy before heading back to school. The girls and I, Kristal and Tami, wanted to make this real special for the kids, so I made some cute invitations for each of them. The week before the Mom's and kids decorated "all about me" crowns with pictures and stickers that reflected each child's personality and likes.
The day of the party was completely chaotic... naturally. But it all came together in the end and we had a fantastic time. Hey, how can you not have fun when everyone who is invited is the guest of honor?
the Mom's packed sack lunches for the kids (parents had brats and hot dogs) delicious fruit, and plenty of snacks and sweets to go along with it! After we ate lunch the kids played while Mr. and Mrs. Lence put up all the clues for the treasure hunt they put together (brilliant by the way). Rounding up the kids to start the hunt was a bit of a challenge... They were extremely hot and getting a wee bit ornery by now. But they made it through the hunt and got their prizes, new back packs full of school supplies and other goodies! They were so excited. I had a lot of fun planning this party with such great friends. I can't wait to do it again next year!!!!
Thank you Tami and Kristal, I love ya!
