A friend in the branch there told us her kids do king/queen for a day in lieu of a party. They get to eat whatever they want, play video games or watch tv all day, sleep in or stay up late, no chores, etc. Our family adopted that instead of friend parties while we were overseas. Our kids loved it and now that we're back they insist they should have it along with a friend party. When I tell them they have to choose either king/queen OR a party they also insist before we moved overseas they got to do both. I try to tell them I'd never even heard or thought of king/queen for a day until we moved to Kuwait. Anyway, it's a fun idea that's worked for us as the kids get older and if you move around more and don't feel comfortable with the whole party idea with people you hardly know.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17588907097967982456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428516193432366781.post-38851994927388457902011-09-30T22:13:08.427-05:002011-09-30T22:13:08.427-05:00Loved the cupcakes and the party.
