Presidents Day Party!

Plastic American Flags

We’re trying something new this year with my son Caden and his friends.  Since all the kids are off school on Monday for Presidents Day, I thought we’d let him have a Presidents Day Party and invite all his friends over.  They’re off every year for the holiday, but there’s never anything really going on so we thought this might be something fun to do.

However, there is a little “catch” to the party!  All the boys that come have to wear a President’s mask or they can go all out and come dressed as their favorite President.   It can be any President they want, from George Washington to President Obama AND they have to know at least two important facts about that President.  At first I didn’t think Caden would go for the idea, but after he told his friends about it, they were all for it.  Although I’m pretty sure they’d do just about anything for a party!

Caden suggested we have games and prizes and lots of food.  We’re going to decorate the house with everything and anything red, white and blue with those small plastic American flags everywhere.  It should be a lot of fun and the kids will have a blast!

This year if your kids are off school on Presidents Day, think about throwing a Presidents Day Party for them.  They’ll be having so much fun they won’t even realize they’re actually learning about the different President’s as well!

George Washington Mask

Well, here we go again with another year of adult costumes, kids costumes, teen costumes, tween costumes, pet costumes…well you get the picture!  2010 will be fun and exciting with great accessories and decorations to make every holiday, party and family get together one to remember.

I was filling out my calendar and checking out all the big and small holidays that are coming up in February; Valentine’s Day, Groundhog Day, Presidents’ Day and George Washington’s birthday.  Now those are some great holidays for costumes! 

Presidents’ Day costumes and masks are a big hit in February.   Ask your history teacher if you can put on a play displaying your school’s patriotic side.  HalloweenExpress.com has everything you need to make a really cool shout out to America’s history from the years of former President George Washington to present day President Barack Obama.  

Start checking out the website now for your holiday costume needs.  Believe me, you can never have enough costumes!

I Do Solemnly Swear…

Next week on January 20, 2009, President-elect Barack Obama will be sworn-in as the 44th President of the United States.  The first President to ever do this was of course President George Washington on April 30, 1789.  What I think is really interesting is that the ceremonial traditions that were established by George Washington at his first presidential inauguration have been followed into present day, such as;

  • using a Bible when taking the oath of office
  • reading an inaugural address
  • attending an inaugural ball

Attending the 2009 Inauguration is a hot ticket by any means.  Hotels around the Washington D.C. area have been booked to capacity for months now.  A lot of people will be throwing parties and celebrating this historic event with their family and friends. 

If you’re thinking about having an “Inauguration 2009″ party, HalloweenExpress.com is the perfect place to get all your Presidential party needs!  With the help of some of their great presidential costumes and masks, you can actually have President-elect Barack Obama at your party along with Bill and Hillary Clinton.  How cool would it be to have President’s George Washington and Abraham Lincoln there as well, not only in spirit but with the help of an amazing mask from HalloweenExpress.com they can be there in person as well! 

This will be one Inauguration party that your friends will be talking about for years to come!

Well, it’s finally here – New Years Eve, the last day of 2008!  All the holidays for this year have come and gone and I’ve had so much fun giving my expert opinion, well maybe not so much “expert” but more along the lines of “from one mom, wife, aunt, daughter to another”.  I hope you enjoyed reading my blogs as much as I enjoyed writing them. 

Now, we’re on to bigger and better things for 2009!  HalloweenExpress.com will have more great costumes, assessories, makeup, decorations, props, etc… – I think you get the picture!  And with that in mind, don’t forget to check out all our great Valentine’s Day costumes,  President’s Day costumes and Mardi Gras costumes.  It’s never too early to find that one perfect costume for any holiday!  See you next year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Happy Presidents’ Day!

Happy Presidents’ Day!  Did you know that Presidents’ Day is celebrated to honor two of our greatest President’s, Abraham Lincoln and George Washington.  The holiday is celebrated every year in the United States on the third Monday in February.

I know the kids love Presidents’ Day because they are off school and what better way to get a kid to enjoy a holiday than to tell them they get the day off school.  It’s an automatic win-win situation for everybody!  Some schools (such as the New York City school district) used to close for a single day for both Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthday, but now often close for the entire week beginning with the Monday holiday as a “mid-winter recess”.  My children just have today off, but I’ll tell you what – if they could get the whole week off, Presidents’ Day would run a close second to Christmas!
