circus birthday





















dilema:
what to do when you are scheduled to be out of town on your 4 year old's b-day. (besides cry)
husband's b-day is 3 days later.

solution:
celebrate both together, when you return.
*realize the banners from SPARK would go with the circus theme you were thinking of doing.
*ask for a couple delightful paper banners during SPARK clean-up & incorporate anywhere you possibly can. (on napkins- 4 and A for adam, streamers for balloons...)
(thanks, rhonna, you saved me. you sewed with love, i used with love. ;) )
*use the Target summer plates & napkins in my sideboard
*find on Etsy some vintage circus posters, purchase for $3 and print, print, print
*buy some mini hand bells from hobby lobby cuz adam says "they're just my size."
*use Home Goods gift card (thanks cherie!!) and buy striped cloth napkins on clearance
*grab kid's toys from the boys' room to sprinkle here and there
*blow up balloons
*grab the party hat and cupcakes from "party bin" in closet
*invite nana and papa for pizza and snow cones (thanks for the snow cone machine, kim!!)
*CELEBRATE!!
