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!!
