We had a fun party for the second USA game in the World Cup. I made homemade fries, mini hamburgers, fruit kabobs and we had yummy cream soda, reserved only for the specialist of occasions :) We also had chocolate covered cinnimon bears...my favorite.
I made the boys some fun soccer field placemats to eat on.
I am sure we will have plenty more times to use them.
The boys thought it was great to be able to eat and watch TV. We don't do it very often, actually I think other than the occasional popcorn and movie, the wold cup is one of the few times we have ever done it.
We also had some finger soccer games going on. So intense:)
We used cups as our goals. Each of the boys had their own specific color to shoot goals into. They also tried to get their bouncy balls into each other's goals.
I also gave the boys these paper "dolls". That may sound girlie, but they were awesome soccer players, totally for boys.
They could change their heads (to glasses), uniforms and socks.
Don't those look awesome ;)
Lincoln thought they were cool.
We were so bummed that the US lost, but it was a great game.

How do you do it? This is not one of those comments from your many adoring fans. I am honestly so amazed by you. You have the energy of the Energizer Bunny, the will power of...umm...someone more than me, you have the craftiness of Martha Stewart perfectly adaptable for kids' ideas, you have the continual ideas of...ummm..I am running out of them myself. You just amaze me. I want you to be my nextdoor neighbor. When I am hurting for ideas, or my kids are bored, I will just say, "Let's go to Emily's. She'll take care of us." Love you! Thanks for letting me take a peek. UNBELIEVABLE!!!
I love all of the partys you throw, they may seem small sometimes but I know that your kids will remember them forever.
