Circus Party - Grand Finale

Step right up.

And join us...

as we, welcome you to the circus.

AKA Grace's 4th birthday extravaganza.

The Big Top awaits.

Please feel free to clown around.

Or enjoy some cotton candy.

While hopped up on sugar, visit the tattoo station.  Don't worry, they are temporary, like your sugar rush.

Games more your speed? Join in a game of Bozo buckets, pin the fez hat on the elephant, walk across the 'tight rope' OR

visit the duck pond.

 
What will you win?  A goldfish, of course.

Then, join us center stage, as we sing happy birthday to the birthday girl...

And wish her well.

Help yourself to a piece of cake or a carousel cupcake.

Work off those cupcakes by testing your strength with the 1000 pound barbell.

Perhaps you are stronger than Sammy The Strongman.

Then, Madame G will read your fortunes.  I wonder what she predicts next year's birthday party theme will be?

What Madame G did predict, the pinata will soon be replaced by the super cool punch box.

Before you go, don't forget to sign the guest book with your fingerprint.

It's now official, the circus has left town.  Please make sure you take your shoes when you leave, or don't :)

The Big Top - Part 2

I've kept you in suspense long enough. If you are curious how The Big Top Domed Circus Tent Challenge of 2012 went, wait no longer...

Yes, a custom tailored domed circus tent topper was created. My marriage and sewing skills were pushed to their limits :).

It's certainly no teepee, is it?

In the end, however ridiculous the logic my husband used, it does appear that if I can  make a pillow, I can make a fitted domed circus tent topper. 

My only worry.  I fear, in the near future, my husband will turn to me and say, 'If you can make a domed and fitted circus tent topper, you can  make 'insert the most ridiculous request here'".
