Everyone was very happy to see Justin and Maya’s vacation pictures and we all had a great time ooh and aah-ing at the sights. Also, If anyone is looking for a fun littles movie, Nanny McPhee Returns was very cute and I recommend taking your Big to see it with you, plenty of jokes for the adults too.

As always, if any munchers have suggestions for future munch themes, field trips or activities, please e-mail us at the addresses above!

That’s exactly the kind of thing I hope for when Mommy and I host a littles party. That someone can get so wrapped up in all the fun that’s going on around them, that they forget what kind of undies they had on when they got here. To me, that nicely sums up the great time that I and others seemed to be having.

Many of the parties we’ve hosted in the past have started after the munch that month. This time, though, Mommy made plans so that we could have an all-day immersive event. We had lots and lots of activities planned throughout the day and into the night. It kicked off with yummy grilled food and moved into Wii games, card games, water balloons, water guns, wiggly worm sprinkler, more yummy food, guitar hero, arts and crafts, play tattoos, birthday ice cream cake, a magic show with a real magic bunny, glow sticks, movies, popcorn and goodie bags. Whew!

Of course, all that is just the stuff. What really made the party great was all the wonderful people: Littles, middles, and bigs from across the spectrum of age players all coming together and celebrating this wonderful common interest we all have. Talk about a hug fest! In total I count 27 people who made it out for some part of the event. It was so many people on such a hot summer day that our air conditioner actually had trouble keeping up.

Speaking of hot, I want to especially thank all the wonderful folks that stepped up and helped keep the party running smoothly. One, very brave volunteer, actually manned the grill in this outrageous heat. Twice! How awesome is that? Others were kind enough to keep the snacks and food in order, sweep the house for trash, and wash the cups and plates so we could keep using them all night. I’m sure that’s just scratching the surface. To all those volunteers, THANK YOU!

If you missed out on this party, well, I’m sorry. It was super terrifically wonderfully great! But don’t be too sad, because the next event is already in the works.

Join us on Saturday, October 30^th for the first Atlanta Littles Munch Halloween Sleepover. This time it’s costumes, and jammies, and creepy kids movies like Nightmare Before Christmas and Coraline all night long. Mark your calendars now. (Really, like right now.)

Thanks again to everyone that came out and made this party, as well as the age play community here in Atlanta, so great. Thanks too to those of you that came from out of town to be a part of it. I look for forward to seeing you again and reminiscing at a future munch. Also, for one of you, I look forward to returning your underwear.

Some have already written to me for directions and I’ll be getting those out soon. For those that haven’t, please write to me if you need directions or just want to give me a heads up that you’re coming.  (Remember, the hosts must know you from a munch in order to attend.)

What to bring:
* Yourself (everything else is really optional)
* A bathing suit and water toys (such as water guns)
* An outfit for the fashion show
* Food to share. Especially any favorite items you’d like cooked on the grill.
* Requested $5 donation.
* Any movies and/or card, board, and video games you’d like to share.
* Any items you have for the Littles Exchange (stuffies or clothes that need a new home)

Here’s the tentative itinerary (Subject to change based on weather, party dynamics, and the whims of your hosts.

1:00 pm
Things get started. We’ll get the grill fired up and start making lunch.

We’ll also get things started with the Littles Exchange. This is a chance for you to bring in and trade your age play items that might be able to find a new, loving home. Bring you’re littles clothes that don’t fit right anymore or that stuffed friend that’s looking for new adventures.

2:00 pm -ish
It’s time for back yard water fun (Balloons, water guns, sprinklers etc). We’ll also be snacking and eating all that yummy stuff from the grill.

We’ll also be playing games in the house. Video game, card games, hoola hoops and pin the tail.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a littles party if we didn’t have crafts too. Look for coloring books, crayons, and construction paper to show off that creative side.

6:30 pm
Fashion Show – Break out that stylin’ onsie or sailor dress and show off your best looks. Prizes in multiple categories as determined by the judges.

7:00 pm
Dinner

8:00 PM
Magic Show – You aren’t going to want to miss this. We’ve got a great performer and friend coming out to give us a show.

After the show, we’ll celebrate some birthdays and unbirthdays with a little cake. Yummy!

9:00 PM on
Movies and Jammies (With glow sticks). We’ll start with Lilo and Stitch and then move on to whatever folks decide they want to watch.

So, with all that, there are a few things we could use some help with from you:

We don’t really own any outdoor furniture. We could use some tables and chair for food and people out in the back yard and patio.

We’ll need judges for various games and events, including the fashion show.

We also need some cooking help. We’ve got a volunteer for the grill, but it would be nice to have someone looking after the food inside as well.

So that’s it. Is anyone excited yet?

The Haps:

There’ll be brightly colored leis, water gun and balloon fights, pin the tail on the donkey, hoola hoops, face painting, arts and crafts, littles fashion show, magic show, games, movies, goodies on the grill, birthday cake, and most importantly other great littles, mediums, and bigs.

There’ll be a few surprises too.

Of course, this is YOUR party too. Please bring / share your own ideas and toys to make the party even better. We have a Wii and a PS2 if you’d like to bring video games. You can also bring board games and DVD movies. Most importantly, bring yourselves to come have a great time with us!

- An awesome idea was hatched to display some of the best muncher art on the website. Justin and I will be working on some way to make that happen so that our virtual refrigerator can draw oohs and ahhs.

I hope to see lots of you again in July, our munch will be July 24. If you have any ideas for themes, activities or after-munch field trips, please e-mail us!

After the munch, we decided to take advantage of the great Spring weather and head out to Piedmont Park were we played card games, drank yummy lemonade, and threw the frisbee around. (One of the puppy babyfurs seems particularly excited about the frisbee. *giggle*)

Thanks again to all that made it out and continue to make this munch such an amazing time.

Since it was just a small handful of us munchers, we didn’t stay long this month. It was a very nice day out, and the ice cream parlor was calling our names (and our wallets).

As always, if you have a theme or activity idea for June, please send us an e-mail!

We’re looking forward to the May munch (Sat., May 22) and hope to see lots of regular and/or new munchers there! If you have ideas for an after-munch activity, please drop us a line.

In addition to the regular diner food, one of the munchers was kind enough to bring cookies that looked like like little hamburgers. They were super yummy. The discussion seemed to revolve around a number of topics.Chief among them was the great time some folks had at Frolicon and ideas for the next Littles party planned for this Summer.

After the munch, some of us headed out to Stone Mountain to the Yellow River Game Ranch. If you’ve never been, I highly recommend checking it out. It’s like a petting zoo on steroids. Not only will you see the usual chickens, sheep, goats, and donkeys, along the trail you’ll also encounter bears, dear, ducks, cougars, buffalo, and bunnies! This is the second year we’ve visited.

The only downside was that they were caught up in the flooding last year. As a result, the place was considerably less wheelchair friendly than it had been. That made things considerable tougher on one of our muchers. Still, we made it work and had a great time.
