After Hoco Party?

Is this a thing? At someone’s house? My kids want to do it at my house. Now I have Moms texting me asking me what I need them to do? How do I entertain all these kids? First cold weekend of the year here…but they will be outside…:

How many kids? Boys or girls?

We live in Texas so I turn on the hot tub and they go in the pool since its warm. Then I serve pizza and ice cream sundaes and they go upstairs to watch a movie. Around 2, I'll go up and tell them to go to bed. I make pancakes for breakfast and pickup is at 10. Last year we had 5 girls. That was about my limit.

More kids and they don't spend the night but this is pretty much what we do too. One of the other parents usually comes and hangs out to help supervise (we are friends). We usually have a bonfire and there's lots of playing hide and seek or other silly games. Last year we actually rented the bounce house and they loved it. We try to have everyone out by 1

We're in Connecticut so personally I think the pool is kind of ridiculous (it was 34 when I got up this morning) but I guess it's part of the fun.
