'Jon & Kate Plus 8'
There's something special about the
pitter-patter of little feet that seems to make the world a better place. But
can you imagine the pitter-patter of 16 little feet? Us neither. Luckily we
don't have to imagine; we can just turn on TLC every Monday to see Jon &
Kate Plus 8 and watch just what it would be like to have our world become one
big Diaper Genie. So
call your friends, your neighbors and your clergy, because we're throwing a Jon & Kate Plus 8 viewing party!
Setting the scene:
If we've learned anything from watching the Gosselins over the years, it's that people can handle a lot more stress than any of us could possibly realize AND that colorful potty chairs (www.landofnod.com) can add a sense of style and whimsy to any room (and the fundamental truth that someday, even the suavest, most continental among us will utter the words "Did you make poop?" without any hesitation at all). So fill the room with children's toys such as balls, Little Tikes playhouses, Crayola refrigerator art and clean diapers. Scatter a couple of Big Wheels for guests to trip over. If guests are actual new parents, party favors can include everything from the toys and Big Wheels to diaper services or DVDs from all the seasons of Jon & Kate Plus 8. Another great gift is the Gosselins' book Multiple Blessings: Surviving to Thriving with Twins and Sextuplets.
Attire:
We're talking multiples here, so encourage all guys to wear the same outfit (perhaps navy polos and khaki pants), and for girls, why not suggest an inexpensive dress in a complementary color of the guys' outfits from Old Navy or H&M? That way everyone looks alike.
On the menu:
This one is for the kiddies, so we are serving a buffet masterpiece of SpaghettiOs, Tater Tots, mac 'n' cheese and Fudgsicles for dessert. Juice boxes for everyone!
On the hi-fi:
Jon and Kate would love to hear something that doesn't feature the vocal stylings of Barney or the Wiggles, so think outside the box and grab a CD from the band Fisher, whose song Beautiful Life is being used in promos for the series.
The showstopper:
If you had a house filled with eight miniature adults, you'd probably like to escape. But the only place you'll be allowed to go for the next 10 years to party is the house that a mouse built, Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
