Only yesterday( it seems) he looked like this (the one in red)!
But now. Suddenly. He looks like this. {note: not his real ears. It was EASTER!)

So I formed a cunning plan for this year....
Here in Sydney we have a local permanent Fairground called "Luna Park", which my boys like to visit (occasionally) and when they do, they really love the side-show games. They also enjoyed going to Cirque Du Soleil last year. So... I suggested a Circus-y themed party. After a tiny bit of persuasion he agreed. Some time, a fun Pinterest board, some shopping and some baking later, I made & hosted a circus-y party.
It went well.
Here are a few of my favourite inspiring images & ideas from my Pinterest board:
 |
| Mateo's Circus cake |
 |
| Retro Wagon popcorn bags |
 |
| Circus party from Bird's Party |
 |
| fab circus cake |
{from Lolly bags (which included caramel popcorn and candy Floss and was presented in a popcorn bag) to the games, the dressing up and circus tent photo-booth, to the birthday cake and cupcakes...}
 |
| It's in the details right?...my circus inspired shoes!! |
 |
| I had so much fun decorating the cup-cakes (which I topped with melted white chocolate, popcorn & lollies). |
Note: I topped the cake that sat atop the cake stand, with these fab free print-outs from
I was so thrilled when I found them, especially as I had pull the whole party together in a day!
Finally my favourite photo from the day, our little friend's face captures the fun! It was a blast!
At least 5 of Mr 8's pals said it was the "best party ev-ver"! SCORE! High Fives all round!!
It will most likely be his last birthday party so we are going out on a high. A sugar high no doubt.
But a high all the same. He is happy. I am happy. Even little brother is happy.
Result! :)
Take care,
