10 Year Old Boy Party

Hi Moms! I'm looking for fun ideas for my 10 year old boys party. We've done almost everything, renting a moonbounce, swimming, renting a gym for bball, pump it up, coolcrest...etc. I told him that this will be his last "big" party until he's 16! We've done parties for over 20 kids every year of his life :0) I want to do something fun that can hold friends, family & his baseball team (I hate to leave anyone out). Any ideas? His birthday is July 31 and it's usually blazing HOT, so I hesitate to do outdoor: but I'm open. Thanks!!

10 Year Old Birthday Party

My son is turning 10 at the end of April. We are having his party at Pump it Up and have invited his class and a few other friends. I am wondering should I provide party favors and if so what is age appropriate? Also what kind of cake should I do? I would like to make the cake, but of course don't want to do anything that is to "young" for a 10 year old. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hello All! My boss just called and he wants me to put together a birthday party for his daughter who is turning 13. He is a single dad, and is at a loss to what she wants. So since i'm a girl, I guess I should know right? WRONG! I wasn't your "typical" 13 year old, that we have nowadays. I read books, did horsebackriding etc. This girl is going to be picked up in a limo with 10 of her friends and taken to a water park. Afterwards, they are coming to the house, that I have to decorate-but not childishly!! I have daughters, but not...

Little Girl Who Loves Thomas the Tank Engine NOT Baby Dolls or Princesses

I need a little "Mommy Wisdom". Our daughter is two and a half and loves to read, play with stuffed animals, and adores Thomas the Tank Engine. She was introduced to Thomas by chance. She noticed a book at the library lying on the table and we read it. She has been hooked ever since. She has a small train set and adores playing with it, reading the Thomas books, and seeing the occasional Thomas video. All was great until she was invited to a neighbor's 3rd birthday party. It was Princess Extravaganza party which was lovely. Of...
