The circus came to town when I decided to do a circus themed birthday party for Owen and Jack. I justified the expense of it to Tyson (and myself) when I told him we were getting two birthday parties in one. If anyone knows me, they know that I love planning kids birthday parties. In fact, my kids and I start planning their birthday parties about six months in advance! I know that sounds silly, but it is so much fun for me. This year was the big 1 for Jack and 3 years for Owen. I thought a circus theme was adorable and would be great for all ages. We had a circus lunch of hot dogs, nachos, watermelon skewers and punch. Then I had a snack table with caramel corn, animal cookies, a gumball machine with coins for the kids, licorice, circus peanuts, and the favorite of the day....snow cones! I bought a snow cone machine and it was definitely worth the investment. We will be eating them all summer long, they were delicious! The biggest hit of the party was the clown I hired. Her name was Petals the Clown. Her face painting skills were amazing and she was fantastic with children. She also played games with the kids, did a fun magic show, and twisted balloons! The kids had a great time. I have to give a shout out to the talented Rachel Hawkins for helping me with the invitations and giving me lots of ideas, and also being my slave at the party. She is a party animal! Thanks Rachel:) All in all, I would say that the party was a great success! Thank goodness the next party won't be until August. Happy Birthday Owen and Jack!

OMG! soo cute, wish we had been there! How come you didn't get your face painted? Petals the clown looks so cute and happy, I am sorry I missed the boys' party it looks like it was awesome, I'm mostly sorry I was unable to eat circus food though, man, circus food sounds good :)
You guys are TOO CREATIVE!! This looks like the kids had a blast! I am endlessly impressed by your talent and enthusiasm with the theme parties...you better watch out or I will have to steal you for help with the Hubby's 30th!!
happy Birthday J and O!!
Looks like so much fun! I wish we could've been there to celebrate! I also wish I had your party planning skills.....you're amazing!
Hey, since you love throwing bday parties so much, you want to throw my kids theirs? I'll be 39wks pregnant on Aubree's bday and 1 week postpartum on Judge's, so I'm thinking they're going to get the shaft...=)
It was such a cute party! I love that you went all out! My kids loved every minute of it!
