It sounds like you've prepared well--very smart! My kids like Crystal Light, too....and hot Tang! And hot jello--I taught them about that from skiing. I don't know why we did it back then, but it was big with us--and great for your fingernails!!! lol
Yep, teaching kids to be independent.....right after we try and try to meet their dependent needs--it's crazy--but yes, exactly what we're supposed to do.
A certain amount of energy is inevitable with any party, remember that...and a certain amount of drop in energy. What are your plans for tomorrow? Can you plan ahead for calm? And ask your girls to prepare for that, too?
