Today we celebrated Makena's 5th birthday. We told her she could have a party and invite a few of her friends over. We kind of went with a movie theme based on the Little Mermaid. I printed out some 'movie tickets' with an excel program by bro-in-law sent me. The kids watched The Little Mermaid 3: Ariel's Beginning. Angela made a bunch of popcorn and we put it in those paper popcorn bags for the kids. Angela passed out these fake coins to the kids and they got to 'buy' their popcorn and drinks with those coins. About 3/4th through the movie the kids started to get restless and then went out back to play on the trampoline and with a few hundred of those little colored plastic balls. When I went out back to see how things were going it looked like a tornado had hit. The last guest finally left at 9 (yes 9pm) and now it's clean-up time. The backyard is a complete mess, the kitchen is a mess, the upstairs living room is a mess and the theatre room is full of smashed popcorn and pizza remnants. I'll let Koa, the living vacuum, in to clean up all the food bits on the floor. All in all I think Makena had a fun time.
If anyone wants a copy of the excel program that prints out tickets that can be customized to your liking then let me know and I'll email it.
