Anai's Glamour Party
Anai is turning 10! She decided to have a few friends over for a glamour slumber party.
It was early in the morning when my 3 little girls came running into my room to remind me that I told them they could decorate today.
Well, schooling will have to wait! Creativity is on the way!
Down the steps they fly as they start a flurry of preparations for the big day. On the way down I overheard my 11 ydd say something about hanging our party parachute from the ceiling. "Oh, brother", this will be a sight to see!
The basement is finished except for the ceiling. It has the rafters still......this becomes our chin up area, our swing until we drop area and now a parachute hanging area!
Well, the girls were gone for 1 1/2 hours....I almost forgot about what they were doing until I heard......"Mom come and look!"
Sooooo, I peel myself away from figuring this years taxes....uuugghhh!....and skip down 2 flights of stairs.
"Wait! Wait!," they yell. "Don't come down yet.....we have to put on some music!"
Music is on and I open the basement door to find my husband has screwed down an outdoor woopdeedoo slide to the stairs! So, down the slide I go.......why can we feel all our bones when we do that?
I slide into a pile of pillows! FUN!!!
To my right the poles are decorated with pink and purple crepe paper.....they look like candy canes. Next to the poles is the birthday table, dressed in pink. It has a light pink table cloth with my sparkle pink face painting table cloth on top. Then there are wrapped presents and furry glamour hats placed strategically around the table.
To my left is my party glamour box fitted with boas, glasses and strings of beads all spilling out in a decorative fashion. Next to this is about 6 blow-up guitars and shiny pom-poms decorating the floor. To the left of all this is a "Glamour Table"....outfitted with boas, glasses, nail-polish, a glamour mirror and little notepads as give-aways.
Now for the best thing of all! They managed to hoist that HUGE parachute up to the ceiling with bright pink string. It is hoisted by all the handles on the parachute. Tied to the handles are my party scarves, hanging down in a very pretty fashion. Then they managed to make an intricate, but pretty pully system to let down two sides of the parachute. Out spill balls, and balloons on top of the party table!
Do I have party decoraters in the making or what?
We plan on having games, treats, face painting, dancing, karioke, movies, nail polishing, late nite stories, and very little sleep!
My girls are so excited that they can hardly contain themselves!
Who said homeschooling was boring...or routine...or outdated.....or less than educational....or without flair,....or lacking in creativity! Not ours!!!
The party was a huge success! As you can see by the pictures below. Even the big boys got into the action....guns and all! LOL
Did they have fun or what? Ahh,,,,,until next year! |
