Back to School Party!

Van is always begging to have parties, and I am always trying to talk her out of them.  Yep, I am the party pooper Mom.  If I am being 100% honest, it gives me anxiety.  I don't know why, but every time I think of a party at our house the next things that come to my mind are...

Will people show up?
Will they have fun?
What if, what if, what if?!

So a month or so ago Cheerios sent me an email asking if we would have a breakfast bash at our house and invite people!  I still don't know how I even got talked into saying yes, but I did. 

With Cheerios on my mind, and back to school...we came up with this theme...

Bumble Bee Back to School Backyard Brunch!



So here are the details...

Where: Our backyard.

When: On a Saturday morning when everyone could come to breakfast!

Who: Our friends that were ready to party!

Everyone was told to wear bumble bee colors, and Cheerios provided antennas!  It was so exciting to watch all of our guests arrive all decked out!

We played games like musical chairs, Bumble Bee-Bumble Bee-Cheerio!, and pin the bee on the nose.

Guess what? People showed up, it was fun, and we all survived! I realized I am still not completely cut out for all this party stuff, but I will let down my guard every now and again...and let Van have a party!

AND this could be the start of a really fun back to school tradition!

Disclosure: Cheerios gave me party supplies, a gift card, and a huge supply of cereal...but guess what?  All the cute friends are ours, and they didn't tell me I even had to blog about it, I did that all on my own.
