He did it! He caught up to Brinley for the next 6 months! We were in South Dakota and were trying to think of ideas for his party and they had just had their school carnival & preschool graduation and loved them... so the idea of a carnival was easy!
We own a "bouncy" already, add in a few games, face painting, and balloons and voila! You have a fabulous carnival!
The next thing to come up with was the food... That's the FUN part!
Popcorn, Otterpops, Rice Krispy Treats, suckers, goody bags, and carnival cupcakes
These were the easiest, cutest, and fastest cupcakes EVER!
Tint the vanilla frosting slightly yellow, add some marshmallows and stir!
The cupcake wrappers were the tricky part. I don't know if they even make red and white striped wrappers, but we didn't have time to search long either, so I bought the plain white ones and.... do not judge me as psychotic or way over board... but I had colored them with a red permanent sharpie! It took a while but it ended up looking SO cute and completed my whole carnival popcorn idea!
The clown cupcakes were just as easy. I found clown picks for 1.50 or so at Partyland and just piped with a fat tip a stick figure with frosting, added 2 of the same M&M's for hands and 2 more in a different color for feet. Then to finish them off... you can't see it in the photo but I used the little candy flower sprinkles and placed 3 down the chest for buttons. Looked so cute!

if you can't tell.... he missed :o)
Another highlight was the balloon animals which turned into crazy hats!
We had face painting by Micailey and Dallas!
They did such a good job!
Our clown Brinley, and their cousin Oliver (below) who raided our dress up box downstairs to complete the clown outfit! His eyes are actually closed in the photo! The painted eyes on his eyelids :o)
Gabe (above) and Cooper (below) with their face paint...
I forgot to tell parents that it wipes right off with a wipee, so I apologize if you had paint floaties all over your tub... we learned the hard way too! Sorry!
Our cute little neighbor boy! He LOVES lawn mowers and tractors so that is of course what he requested! :o) I thought Dallas did a fabulous job on his lawn mower and then later I painted a tractor on his other cheek for him :o)
