hello..

Hello blog, 

How have you been?

I have been busy.. 

birthday party.. kid turning one.. 

writing lesson plans.. driving hours and hours.. 

but here I am.. 

Excited to share pictures of my little circus party.. 

In my head.. 

I dream that I am Amy Atlas.. 

planning gorgeous parties.. with beautiful desert tables.. 

In reality.. it is 'slightly' more disorganized..

a 'bit' more tame and ordinary.. 

but.. it was still a lot of fun.. 

and it being the hottest day of the summer so far.. 

the snowcones were the best idea ever.. 

thanks me.

So if nothing else.. 

snowcones were a hit.. 

now what to do with two gallons worth of snowcone syrup

and the machine back at the rental store.. 

(the ants come marching two by two.. oh no oh no)

Don't you just love my 70's kitchen.. 

at least the circus decorations add some color

Fun silverware..

Candy bar.. 

still wrapped!

Birthday cake.. yummm..

The guest of honor..

We made a little photo booth.. 

just hung some fabric from our patio.. 

This is me and my sis..

Me and my best buddy..

and me and the babe..

Paper straws.. 

(beautiful, but.. they are paper.. that's all I'm saying)

Sweet Treats.. 

Just kept it simple..

Now.. time to relax!

Birthday party themes... again

So I think that we have officially settled on Monsters for the theme for my son's first birthday party..
But then I go looking at blogs this morning and I found this great circus party.. courtesy of Party Perfect's Blog..
I think the thing that tops it off is the costumes.. wow.. really
I need to start having more children so that I can dress them up..
I really have not been fulfilling my potential with this..





Amazing!
