What would you do for a party for your kids?

Hmm, wow that's a broad age range. Well for picnic ideas since it's getting close to summertime I would just throw a nice easy BBQ if you have one. Hot dogs, hamburgers, make some beans, potato salad, corn on the cobb, juice, water, & cake! Easy money right there! I'm actually getting ready to throw my daughter her 5th birthday party coming up here in August. We have a pretty nice yard so it's going to be a "water party" theme and we'll have a blow up swimming pool, fun sprinkers, slip n slide, and a water balloon toss game. For goody bags, I'll just be letting them pick out a cute pair of shades or flip flops (children's place). So it should be nice and easy - fun for adults & kids, low maintenance, and again just doing the easy bbq thing!

We took ours to chucky cheeses a few years back. Theres games that pretty much anyone would enjoy. And theres pizza which is only one if not the best food on the face of the earth.

I always had birthday parties for my son since he turned a year old. As he became a teenager, it became pizza parties because that is all that he wanted. The boys wanted lots of music, and have their dvd's and video games and they were all set.
