At the end of March, we celebrated Meelie's 9th birthday with my parents and my brother and his family. Now, it's on to the "real" birthday party. In a moment of weakness, I agreed to a slumber party. Luckily, I had the foresight to limit her to five children, including herself. The dinner part is easy, because she picked English Muffin Pizzas and all of the various junk food type items that will go with it. I've got that covered.
The main activity that we will be doing (her choice) is decorating aprons. I've already picked up the aprons, as well as fabric paint. I'm all set there. What I would like to do is add in some games and such that we can play later on.
Here's where you come in. Give me some ideas. Do I offer prizes to the winners? I don't want to make this an expensive affair, so keep that in mind. Any ideas are welcome. Just leave them in the comments, or email me.
Thank you. I always know that if I need good advice, I just need to ask for it here.

I don't know that I would do games for prizes... or if you do make them small ones so there's no real jealousy or anything going on. Just fun games... Twister is always a fun one. I had another one, but I forgot it almost as soon as it came in my head. Blonde roots combined with sinus medicine does not a good combination make.

Sounds like she will have a fun time already!
Someone already suggested Twister so I'm kinda out of suggestions as I suspect that pin the tail to the donkey adn charades are old hat these days! How about a mini treasure hunt around the house with clues to follow?

what about a karaoke contest? You could have an Idol type set-up, with 3 judges playing the parts of Randy, Paula and Simon. Should make for some laughs.....
Michele sent me.
