Answer
You can do a spa party. Ask your mom or older sister/cousin/aunt if they will come and do your and your friends' hair, make-up, manicures and pedicures. If not, pair up and do it for each other. Tell your friends to bring their favorite polish and flip flops so they don't ruin their pedicures. Then have lots of snacks and junk food, etc.
No matter what party you do, you can set up an ice cream bar. Get chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream and lots of toppings. Sprinkles, chocolate syrup, whipped cream, and marachino cherries. Go to the dollar store and get those tall, plastic sundae glasses and everyone make their own sundaes. You can even get the bowls that are made out of waffle cones at the grocery store.
You can do a Hollywood Movie party. Get some red fabric and lay it at the entrance of your house and on both sides put some solar lights if you have them and your friends will be entering on the red carpet. Take their pictures as they're coming in.
Go to the dollar store and get some feathery boas, sunglasses, etc. Then at the craft store get some blank frames. You can get the boas at the craft store too. At the dollar store or Blockbuster, get those cardboard popcorn buckets and some popcorn and big boxes of movie candy. Rent your favorite movies.
Hang a white sheet somewhere in your house. You and your friends can pose with your boas and props and take pictures in front of the sheet. The sheet will block out any distractions behind you. Like when the stars stop on the red carpet in front of that white area and take pictures, you and your friends can pose and have fun.
At movie time, everyone gets their own popcorn bucket and pass around the candy! Tell your friends to bring their blankets and pillows to lounge out during the movie.
After the movie is the "after" party with the food and cake and ice cream. Have whatever food you like, whether it's pizza, a taco bar with all the toppings, etc, and cake and ice cream.
Then you and your friends can decorate those blank frames. Paint them, and at the craft store in the scrapbooking section they have tons of movie stickers, you can put them on there and then your friends have something to bring home from the party and put their favorite picture in.
You can also take advantage of the nice weather and do an outdoor party. Have a bbq with hamburgers and hot dogs and have the toppings too. Do tomatos and lettuce with ketchup for the burgers and mustard and saurkrut for the hot dogs. You can do baked beans and french fries too.
Then you can set up a volley ball net and play volleyball and badmitten.
Have waterballoon fights.
Do relay races, potato sack races, three legged races, wheelbarrel races where one person stands and holds the other person's legs and you race to the finish line.
Then you can do a pie eating contest, but instead of pie, do whipped cream in a pie tin.
You can also get an inflatable kiddie pool and fill it with water, break into 2 teams and have a tug of war, the losing team ends up in the pool!
You can also do a sit down dinner party. Talk to your mom and either send out for food or with your mom, cook the meal from appetizers to dessert. Set the table in a formal manner from the cloth tablecloth to cloth napkins, etc and have a sit down dinner party with your friends.
I hope some of these ideas helped and that you have a great party and a very Happy Birthday

what are some fun things to do with a 2 year old during the summer?
just_a_gir
i am pregnant with our second child now and my son will be turning 2 years old next week. my husband and i want to do some fun things with him this summer since we probably wont be able to do much next summer. we have discussed taking him to disney world but i am afraid he is not old enough to enjoy it. do you think he is too young or do you think it would be fun for him?
thanks you for all the great ideas! i never really thought about taking him camping. we live in tennessee and we about 20 mins away from a lot of really great campsites plus lots of lakes. we may wait on the disney world thing til he is older.
Answer
I think Disney World would be great! There are plenty of little rides for him, but I think he would enjoy it more and remember it better when he gets older.
I think it would be cheaper (and mean a lot more to him) if you spent your vacation money on stuff to do at home. Get him a nice pool. Inflatable or not, I've seen some nice ones at the dollar store for $25 and are big enough for four people or so. That's big enough for the three of you to get in and splash around. I think he'd have even more fun if you let him go through the store and pick out water toys to play with too. When he's young, all he wants to do is spend time with his parents and feel loved.
Aside from water (which was ALWAYS my favorite), try chalk. Inexpensive and fun. Get him a little bike with training wheels and let him play with that. Rent movies and stay up late in the summer watching them with some popcorn or snacks. Go camping! Oh how I LOVED camping!! You can go just about anywhere nowadays and find a place to hike, sit in a canoe or paddle boat, fish, and have a fire. I know I always loved watching a fire, making smores, and throwing in small sticks and feeling like I was a big help. Also, try building something. Maybe this summer your husband can have some bonding time with your son and build a club house? That'd be a great place for him to play as well as a wonderful place for the new baby to play in when she gets older too!
Try asking your son what he wants to do during the week and plan for it on the weekend if he wants to go out someplace. I don't know if your son likes babysitters, but my boyfriend's niece and nephew LOVED playing in the McDonalds play place with us. They did for hoouurrrsss. In the end, we were more tired! I also babysit girls who just have a ball when I'm over and are constantly asking for me. You might look in your church or someplace and find a good, social babysitter to play with your kids.
Sprinklers, water balloons, fire fly catching, camping, butterfly catching, fishing, frog catching, drawing with chalk, etc.
Dollar Stores are my favorite for anything. One thing I love getting is Silly String. You can pick up a can for about $2 each. Get half a dozen in your favorite colors and go outside and shoot each other. Run behind trees and have fun. Also try adding water balloons to the play fun.
If you're really into the idea of a vacation more than several camping trips because you don't like the mosquitoes or the idea of not taking a shower everyday gets to you, try some place more like a beach or lake. I went to a wonderful resort in Tennessee that had a beach. There was a small lake and nice sand as well as a nice pool. Though he'd need some assistance in the water, I think that would be great!
Try to spend everyday with him doing something fun. Cook with him, make arts and crafts (supplies at a dollar store like popsicle sticks, play dough, paints, etc!), and make every little day something special. Buy a CD Player and play his favorite songs while you clean or are having fun. Buy a mini trampoline he can jump on and make "obstacle courses" out of pillows and blankets over chairs that you guys have to run through.
I know my parents are big on vacations, but they were never really all that much fun for me because someone was always fighting with someone else. It's nice since it's just the three of you, so it might work! But I know I always got along best (and had the most fun and made the best memories) when we were just doing something at home together. (:
