OK, FSP, you have well and truly guilted me into it. And to rub insult into injury my post today is about our babies combined 1st birthday party (which was 2-1/2 months ago - hide my head in shame).
We had a circus party which, although turned out brilliantly, could have been so much better in my mind.
I had planned a Big Top in the back yard with our huge overhanging umbrella, draped with brightly coloured sheets and laden with soft cushions inside for all the kiddies to play in. Alas, I discovered it was not to be when I awoke that morning to rain clouds. So I pulled out my trusty roll of streamer paper and created the makeshift Big Top you see below. NOT at all what I had in envisioned but it sufficed.
The party loot bags turned out well.
As did the cake. I was particularly pleased with my work on that part and now the boys have a little wooden elephant each to play with.
Water bottles with the boys names on them and Popcorn boxes that I painted myself from Icy Pole boxes ( I am still peeved over the number of paint coats they needed).
I made a photo booth so we could capture the kids (and a few adults) clowning around!
Master 4 took his clown role a little too seriously but just loved the photo booth. I do believe I have more photo's of him than anyone else. Number 1 birthday boy was not too impressed by it though!
Tears of a clown! Nobodies smiling.
Finally, a smiler! You'd be hard pressed to not get a smile out of Master 3 though. It is generally permanently imprinted on his face.
Our very own FSP - The Hula Hoop Twirling Acrobat and Number 2 birthday boy - The Mime!
The ticket booth that greeted all guests on arrival. I had so much fun painting this one.
The Ring Leader and the Acrobat. Our Circus Freak Family!
Happy Birthday boys! I hope you enjoyed the Circus as much as we did!
