I am still trying to figure out my party idea…i was thinking about everyone meeting up at my house,kings island, or the mall to have a scavenger hunt either around my neighborhood, riding rides and etc at kings island or… buying things at the mall!
I would have 10-12 girls over we would be on 2 teams of 5 or 6 and 1 team have pink shirts that looked like jerseys and purple shirts that looked like jersey on the front they would sat Laklyn’s 12th birthday party and on the back across the top would say there first or last name… we would find everything we needed and each team would have a walkie talkie and so would my mom that were together to make sure everyone was okay! then after the scavenger hunt we would all meet up at my house if the scavenger hunt was in my neighborhood, if it was at the mall we would meet up at the front door, and if it was at kings island we would meet at the entrance…anyways we would all meet somewhere (including my parents) and a limo would pic us up! my momma and my step dad would drive seperately from the limo with all the girls n it so we could have a fun girl time! the limo would take us to new port on the levi for lunch then drop us back off at my house and we would go to the finished basement and hang out, watch tv and order pizza and when it gets dark we would go outside and play flashlight tag, gohst in the grave yard, and etc. once we were done outside we would go inside get our sleeping bags, pillows, and blalnkets, take them outside and get the tent and sleep in the tent, hang out, talk, get on the laptop, and etc./have our girl time!:)

My son is 6 on the 12th June. He is really into soccer, so we are going to be throwing a part themed around the 2012 European Soccer Championships. Should be a fun day, kids dressed up from the different nations and lots of soccer related games.
