Hello all. What's up? It's snowing ... expecting three to four inches. Yay!

Smiley - how did you like the movie? We saw it last night too. I thought every scene with Madea was hilarious! Some of the scenes without her were a little slow.

My DD had a luau/pool party for her sweet 16. We had about 50 teenagers at the house. But things went great and everyone had a ball.

Don't worry as far as your moth goes....I must read in the dark to because I didn't notice the misspelling until kimmar pointed it out. I did just take my contacts out though so maybe that had something to do with it.

Do a candy buffet! We did one for DD's 9th birthday and it was a big hit. Ours was a pool party, so I put everything out in pool/beach related things like margarita glasses and sand buckets. Each kid got a personalized bucket to fill up with candy at the buffet. Do it yourself goody bags and a party activity in one!

I should mention this is for her 16th bday. I don't know I will thin k about that.

my dh said he can make a tiki hut and a limbo game out of bamboo. I was thinking coconut glasses - tiki torches - grass skirts- leis - palm trees - i found a cool cooler that looks like a palm tree and the base is the cooler! cool garland lights but I am terrible with being creative.

Lets see where to start....the party was at the house we lived in before building this house. It had a large back porch with a deck that extended out from it. Our pool was an above ground pool that we had partially sunk into the ground. (big pool 33 ft across 6-1/2 ft deep in middle. We hung icicle lights form the porch roof all the post and surrounding trees were wrapped with lights. We had tiki torches everywhere. The food tables had the grass skirt table skirts on them. All of our dishes-bowls, plates, glasses were a Hawaiian motif came from a discount store. (it was cheap) I also bought those grass beach mats at the discount store for about a $1.00 each. We scattered those around the deck. I also bought blow up decorations to float in the pool. Lets see....we had those straw hats to. I had other decorations to hang up to give it that "Hawaiian" feel also. We had balloons everywhere as well.

I think if you did a small pool and maybe a slip-n-slide that would be a lot of fun. along with the decorations.

Just be careful that your party doesn't take on a life of its own like this one did. We could have done things for less money and still had a wonderful party. Its just that once I got into the planning and buying I went overboard. But I did the same thing for graduation parties as well. We rented jump castles for each of those parties. (Momma had a hard time letting them grow up. )

I warned all the neighbors about the party. We shut the music off at 11:00pm and the party ended at midnight. Things went very well and the neighbors said the nose level wasn't as bad as they were expecting. But I think warning everyone and assuring them that we were there helped to keep them happy.
