Circus Party

We went to Blockbuster one day - yes, they still have those around here - and there was an advertisement for a Madagascar 3 circus party.  My daughter is obsessed with clowns and circuses so naturally she sees the flyer and asks, "Can we go?"  The flyer says face paint, games, and snacks.  We go and it turns out to be a really small party, but it was fun!  They had popcorn and cotton candy for her as soon as we entered.  The man who was in charge of the festivities was wearing a clown wig, so that was a definite plus for Lilly!  She played pin the tail on Gloria and made a Melman mask.  The highlight was getting her face painted and her hair spray painted green!  Super fun for a free event!

End of Summer Fun

My daughter loves clowns, the circus and anything that has to do with the circus.  One of those things is face paint.  She has a lot of it and every so often, we get it out and I paint her face.  I'm not very good at it, but I try my best.  This last time we got the paint out, she decided she wanted to paint my face.  Here is how it turned out:

I can't believe summer has come to an end.  It is still hot here in Texas, so we don't signal the end of summer by the lack of hot weather - we signal it by the end of the pool being open.  Here are some pictures from our last trip to the pool in 2012.

Chef Lilly

One of our friends made Lilly this wonderful chef's hat for her birthday - yes, she made it!  It is beautiful and Lilly loves it.  She thinks it is perfect as a clown hat as well.  The other day, she thought it was hilarious to dress up as a clown chef.  Here are pictures of her modeling it.  She's also wearing an apron that Nana bought her.
