For Emmy's 6th birthday, we decided to host a Drive in Movie! Emmy's #1 priority in the entire party was to take her friend's orders for candy. we decided to make a concesssions stand, so she could offer her friends all kinds of treats.
I wasn't sure just how many of her friends would come on a Friday in Decemeber, but guess what, the answer is... ALL OF THEM. Almost 30 kids. Yes, I think this will officially be the LAST at home party. It did me in =)
From the beginning we had some issues. We kept blowing the power and I learned a valuable lesson about 6 year old boys.. .they are completely and totally nuts. We did this same setup at Halloween and I SWEAR all the kids sat there mesmerized through two movies. Not one moved a muscle. Not the case this time. We had 30 kids running around the back yard, knocking everything over, and 1 lone kid watching the movie. I seriously, seriously, thought it was going to be the easiest party ever. Not so much.
But the good news is, Emmy did get to serve all of her friends candy and popcorn and pizza and she had an absolute blast.
We even managed to FINALLY get the smores log going and roast some marshmallows, because you know what's good with crazy kids, open fire. Good planning Kristen.
