#2COOL4SCHOOL Emoji Party

End of school year party idea. A fun emoji themed end of school year party. Fun ideas for a class party, house party, or a pool party. Kick off summer because you are #2Cool4School! Free emoji party printables included!

Does anyone else feel like summer break is flying by? It practically just started, but we've been so busy that we haven't had a moment to just relax and have some fun. We're fearful that before we know it, back-to-school stuff will be gearing up. Last week we finally got a chance to get our schedules aligned for some summer fun and we planned a super fun and super easy party to celebrate!

We picked a sunny day, a fun theme, and we were ready to celebrate all that summer is about. Our kids are emoji obsessed right now and with the new Emoji movie coming out at the end of the summer we knew a #2COOL4SCHOOL emoji party would be all kinds of fun.

Before the swimming began we set up a fun photo booth with props and let the kids go to town.

They were hilarious with what they picked and were all begging for a turn to be the one who got to snap the photos.

Even sweet little Baby Cute wanted a chance in the photo booth! Just look at how much fun she thought it was!

In addition to the regular photo booth we had some other fun goodies for the kids. The sunglasses and temporary tattoos were a hit!

Our snacks were simple, but perfect to fuel them up right before they burned tons of energy swimming and splashing the afternoon away.

They couldn't get in the pool fast enough and had so much fun with the emoji beach balls and squirters. We just love all of their creativity and the games they came up with using these simple, yet fun toys.

Have a Slammin' Summer!

The countdown is on and we are just a few days away from school. For weeks now our calendar has been filled with end of school year festivities. Field days, art shows, and now it's time for the final hurrah - the last day of school!

Little Cute celebrates her last day tomorrow. On her field day she and her classmates each exchanged fun summer gifts. She came up with the idea to give each of her friends some fun squirt guns. The last day of school is going to be extremely low key filled with lots of playground play and movie watching.

A few of us are sending in some yummy snacks for the kids to enjoy through out the day. I know I won't have time to make anything homemade, so I went for the next best easiest thing - a pouch snack!

Yummy, organic and healthy snack for older kids. Packed with protein, fruits, and vegetables.

My kids love these Slammers snack pouches. They taste yummy, and they always try to copy what the kid on the front of their pouch snack is doing when they eat them. (Where/how this started I have no idea, but they think it's a fun game.)

Great organic kids fruit snack pouches. Great snack option for older kids! Packed with protein!

I love them because...
1: It's a pouch snack! Hello super easy, mess free and healthy snack!
2: The kids have no idea they are eating a healthy serving of organic fruits, vegetables and protein each time they consume one. My kids think these are a huge treat! (And what mom would I be if I spoiled that joy for them?)

I have a hard time keeping them in the pantry so sometimes I have to hide them so they won't eat an entire box in a day. So, I knew L.C. would be excited to bring them into class for her friends, and I know her teachers will be excited that it doesn't contain frosting, candy, or - their personal favorite - frozen treats on a stick.

Fun printable for the end of the school year. Great way to kick off summer with a treat!

I whipped up this fun "Slammin'" themed printable to coordinate with the pouches. (Note: You can't tell in photos, but there is an outline of an electric guitar behind the wording as well.)
