Back to School Bash

Well, the party was designed to be for moms celebrating their kids going back to school. However, I wanted to get a group of friends together who no longer go to school together and have some fun! I am SO glad I decided to change the tactics.

*Disclosure - This party was sponsored by Fruit of the Loom. I was given a party pack through House Party with coupons and decorations, as well as party ideas. I was not expected to blog about the party, nor was I promised money for a good review. All opinions are my own!*

My husband and I were so excited when we found out that Peanut would be starting school right before the first of August. We counted down the days when our routines would be starting again. Shortly after she started, we received the letter we had been waiting for ALL summer ... Monkey had been accepted into the school district's preschool program. They only accept a few three year olds so we kept hoping. The kids going back to school has been the BEST thing for our sleep schedule and sanity.

When our kids go back to school, we go through ALL their clothing (another blog post coming on that) and figure out what we need to purchase. One of my favorite brands for clothing is Fruit of the Looms. No, I am not just saying that because they gave me a party pack. Actually, I asked to host this party BECAUSE of my love for the product. A bonus was the coupons they included in the pack for me to get new underroos for my babies.

Moving on to the party. As a host, I was given a shirt to wear celebrating the joy I feel about my children returning to school!

Fruit of the Loom gave us an AWESOME welcome sign to hang, and it drew attention from many because the letters were on underpants. My kids thought it was downright hilarious. Monkey just said, "They used my school pull-ups too" ... not exactly but she was getting in on the Back to School fun!

In addition to the hanging decorations, we were provided with a very fun game! Pin the Kid on the bus. We used my sleep mask as the blindfold ... which was hilarious on the toddlers' small heads!

However, before we started the game, I decided to let the kids have just a tad bit of fun. We put Pharrell Williams on YouTube and let the kids dance to "Happy."

Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do

The girls really got into it!

Of course, what is a party without cake and punch. Our cake was a homemade marble cake (yellow & chocolate) with homemade buttercream frosting. Our punch was the highly desired Tang. It MIGHT have been the kids favorite part.

So, overall ... I think we had a successful party.

How did you celebrate school re-starting?
