D.I.Y. Carnival

A few months ago Sage decided he wanted a "carnival birthday." We spent the summer brainstorming ideas and today we pulled it off. We thought of all the games they have at carnivals and then Sage made his own versions. First off, there's. . .

Next up. . .

Then. . .

On to. . .

and the final game. . .

Last stop. . .

. . . then kettle corn, the swingset, a trip to the moon on the rocketship, a dip in the pool, hotdogs, presents, cupcakes, goodbyes, and a hectic but wonderful day.

  2. KB, what an awesome idea. I love that Sage made most of the stations himself. Fabulous! He's a great little artist and sign-maker too!

  4. Awesome. I love it all! He will always remember this one because of the work he did to pull it off. Maybe he'll be an event planner when he grows up.

  5. I love the carnival theme! I might try that with my daughters' party next year. I had a question about a diaper bag you put on craftster. I'm not that good at sewing but wanted to try that, as it's adorable. But i was wondering how you wctually put it together after you sew all the outsides to the bottom and all the insides to the bottom. Please help!

  6. Way too cool. I love the picture station. Is the person holding a knife to keep that ferocious lion at bay? What a brave lion tamer.
    Great party Sage!

  7. I think that's a hoop for the lion to jump through and the other stuff is the mane?

  11. We had a similar kit, and I found the process hard to photograph. Even the butterflies had to be urged to open their wings and look pretty for the camera.
