My sister has a great idea for her daughter’s birthday in December.
She got adjoining rooms at a hotel with an indoor pool. The girls can swim from 6-10 pm, then return to the room for pizza delivery, cake, and TV all night. Parents pick up the kids before 10 am, and the hotel staff cleans up.

I am throwing a small party for my son’s 7th birthday (in 9 days!) and am looking for some unique ideas. His birthday is the day before Thanksgiving so we decided to take a group of boys to see Mr Magorium’s Magical Emporeum after school. We will then come back to the house and have snacks then a few games. I would love to do some food and games that would work with the movie theme. My son is a big science buff and has fun in the kitchen, so I thought we could do some food that the kids could help with. Any suggestions?

My daughter 2yr old party is this weekend. We are doing Elmo’s World. I have had family members buy Elmo’s at yard sales, thrift stores etc. to give away as prizes. We are putting goldfish crackers in a fish bowl for everyone to guess how many for a prize (Dorothys elmos pet),we are going to play pin the nose on elmo. I plan to serve apples slices, pizza rolls (pizza is elmos favorite & alphabet cookies.I will let you know how it goes.

Racheal and Team-

My friends and I love all that you do. Really it is quite refreshing to see a talent as you make such a great splash in this world!

A few months ago you had discussed a website for creating a moving movie clips from my childrens’ art work. I hate to say, but I have forgotten the website.

If any one can please send that to me I would greatly appreciate it.

Keep up the great work!~Sara

I need some ideas for my two younger children’s birthday party in January. One will be 2 and the other 1. Their birthdays are only 11 days apart so we will have just one party for them both. It may not matter as much this year, but later on they will not want the same thing(as I have a boy and a girl). How would you plan a less expensive party with two themes? Or do you think it would be more practical to have two different parties?

I always do homemade parties-I will tell you about one party that was my favorite-my son was turning 6-it was a ninja party-basically a karate party—I ordered a cake with a photo of a ninja on it-I went to subway and ordered like 5 footlongs and cut each into 4-then I put shredded lettuce for grass on my kitchen island-then layed the sub on counter in an s pattern-in the first peice I cut 2 red pepper strips and placed in half way hanging out-then using toothpicks I placed green olives with the pimentos for eyes–it looks like a serpent in grass-sooo kool! I made a recipe of rice krispie treats and rolled around gummy worms to look like sushi(just google rice krispie sushi-you can find recipe on web) I bought balsa wood at a craft store so kids cold go hyyyya and break it-I had a teen girl that helped at a karate studio come over and teach the kids for like 20 minutes. I found a japanese market and bought some neat stuff for goodie bags-and bought chinese take-out containers from a chinese restaurant for like a dollar for 10-I made these the goodie boxes-with chop sticks sticking out-and went on line to find japanese alpha bet and wrote all kids names in japanese on boxes. I decorated with the japanese laterns and my son dressed as a ninja-I told parents they could dress kids up in karate outfits or what have you-one litte girl came looking like a little geisha girl–she looked adorable. It was a great time-

Maureen,
I would go with a “roller”or wheel theme. I think turkey and ham roll-ups would be fun, it’s just wraps sliced into wheels. You can slice cucumbers, tomatoes, and zucchini for a healthy side. Sliced oranges would also work. The wheel-shaped pasta could also be used for spaghetti, mac and cheese or a side salad. Just have fun with it and let your son help!
Good luck,
Bridget
