Let Your Little Girls Birthday Get Wild With These Girls Safari Birthday Ideas And Inspiration! With Bold Colors And Patterns, You Cant Go Wrong!
So kinda at the last minute I decided Finley needed to have a birthday party. I guess I started thinking about it and this was really going to be the last year she could have a party without having to invite her entire school. Plus, she hasn't really had a party since her 1st birthday and to be honest that was more for me than her. I knew I didn't want to just have a generic party for her so I headed off to Pinterest for some inspiration. I came across the "rainbow" themed party which I thought was super cute but it just didn't seem to be the one. Characters, no way. Then I came upon a circus party. I thought that was cute but just not perfect. Then it came to me. A carnival party! This summer we went to a local catholic school carnival and Finley had a blast. A few weeks later we went to the L.A. County fair and it just about blew her mind. So carnival party it was. I made some cute invitations using the template I found has here. I changed up the wording a little bit and mounted it on some card stock with a little ribbon. Sorry I had to blur out my address cause I don't want you all stalking me. Food wise I knew exactly what I was going to do. Super bad for you Carnival food of course. Hot dogs, nachos, huge pickles, caramel apples, cotton candy, popcorn, etc. The plus to this menu was that it was going to be super easy to make and set up. Plus, who doesn't like hot dogs and nachos? For drinks I decided on homemade lemon aid, cherry lime aid, and cucumber lemon water. Yum! I got the cherry lime aid recipe from here and boy was it good. Look at those cute pickle bags. The popcorn and "peanuts" (i used pretzels instead since there was a peanut allergy at the party) are in the red and blue little boxes. I did just plain ol' cupcakes for the guest and a giant cupcake for Finley. For the pedestals I just bought some glasses and plates from the $ tree and glued and sprayed painted them. Super cheap and easy. Ice cream cups with wooden spoons. Now what carnival party is complete without the games? We had the fish pond, ring toss, and tin can alley. I knew the parents at the party would kill me if I gave away real fish for the fish pond so instead I filled little bags with clear glycerine soap with a little sea creature imbedded in it. You can see the little fishes in this picture. More pictures of the games. We even had a little make shift tattoo parlor. One little dish was full of tattoos and the other was filled with water to put them on. My Favorite part of the party. The prizes! We gave out tickets that the kids could use to redeem prizes from the prize table. Look at all that fun stuff. Clown noses, bubbles, mustaches, pixie sticks, bouncy balls, foam airplanes, fortune telling fish, candy buttons, pencils, kazoos......you name it we had it. I had originally planned to have the party outside but it decided to rain on our day so we moved it inside. We had a couple of fun things planned for outside that we got to use the few moments it wasn't raining out. My great husband painted this photo prop for me. Here's my funky photo booth. I had to scramble at the last minute to find a place to put it because of the stupid rain. All and all I think fun was had by all. Lastly a HUGE shout out to my WONDERFUL friend Carrie who took all of these awesome photos. Without her I would not have all of these awesome memories since I was running late and couldn't take any photos myself. I actually like it better than if I did take them myself. It's always great to get another fabulous photographers perspective on things. Thanks again Carrie!!!

I used pinks, aquas and gold for Eloise's 1st birthday. I came across a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Birthday Party and it went perfectly with the colors.
Last year for Curiosity Day, we had Curious George visit for a Story. I made some George masks and had a table with books and coloring/activity pages, but that was it. We had over 100 come, so this year I wanted to kick it up a notch. I wasn't satisfied with any of the Curious George crafts I found on Pinterest, so I made this accordion limb George craft: I pre-cut the t-shirts and faces and brown strips for arms and legs. The kids could color and assemble. Here is a template. We used the Cray

Ahogy nézegettem ezeket a mesterműveket, gondolkoztam rajta, hogy én is neki veselkedek, és készítek egy hasonlót dinnyeszobrot édesanyám születésnapjára. Kár, hogy semmi kézügyességem nincs az ilyesmihez..., így maradok a nézegetésnél, de hátha te ihletet kapsz. :)

Hey there, dolls and guys! I decided to photo-blog a few of my in-process chalkboard signs and themed displays for the carnival birthday corral this weekend. Guess I’m trying to stay positive…
This past weekend was a birthday party for my two little munchkins. My kids birthdays are 3 days apart so we do one big joint party every year. It's getting a bit harder to pick themes they will both like, but since they both love ice cream this year was lots of fun. I thought I would share some photos from this ice cream filled event with everyone. We played some fun ice cream themed games. The first one was a spray painted Styrofoam ball on a ice cream cone. They had to walk around the yard trying to keep the ball on the cone. Once they made it back they traded in their cone for some ice cream treats. Then changed up the old fashioned game of pin the tail on the donkey and everyone got some ice cream lip gloss for playing. The kids then made their own ice cream sundaes.....yummy For the cake I made a large ice cream bar style cake. Lemon flavoured cake (picked by my son) covered in fondant. The stick is made from gum paste so it would hold up in the heat. To keep on track with the theme all the items in the loot bags were ice cream themed as well. I made some ice cream bar chocolate treats that were also included in everyone's bag. That was our ice cream parlor birthday party. The kids are already putting in their requests for next years party, so let the planning begin again :)
My son, Brennan, was finally old enough to choose his own birthday party theme this year and he dearly wanted it to be all about …
