Afterschool Movie Party

Yes Summer may be coming to an end...but the party doesn't stop! On friday after school we hosted an "afterschool movie" for the kid and some of his friends. Of course four friends quickly turned into about 8 friends, but the shindig was a success! After having the kids check in at home and do any homework they had the kids in the neighborhood came over for snacks, swag bags and The Karate Kid. I'd gone to the dollar store earlier and stocked up on movie sized boxes of candy, crazy straws, some fun pencils and erasers and capri suns. I put the treats into decorated party bags and handed them out as the kids came in. I also made 2 big bowls of microwave popcorn (one extra butter, one kettle corn)and snack plates for them to enjoy while watching the movie. The snack plates had chips, dip, fresh fruit, crackers and cheese. The kids had a great time and when the movie was over...so was the party! (I'll post pics later)
