Wow! What a busy weekend! Bryson's birthday was on Thursday and then his party was on Friday and Spud Day was on Saturday. It was alot of FUN but I think I am getting old - I am worn out! :)
I always ask them what kind of party they would like to do because they have a little party with their cousins that live around here. This year Bryson said he wanted a carnival party. OK... well, birthdays are kind of a big deal for me because I want the boys to remember them. So, we got a little creative with cardboard boxes, some spray paint, duct tape, and some other odds and ends and this is what we came up with. There were 10 booths - the first booth was face painting, sucker pull, the Amazing Mystery Box, and the Magic Bean Bottle Guess. Then we had Ball Blaster, Sock Bowling, Baseball Throw, Target Shooting, Penny Pitch, Dart Throw, Bucket Ball Drop, and Ring Toss.
Face Painting - my sister-in-law did face painting on the kids. So cute - thanks Jen!
Grandma Gardner helping with the sucker pull and taking tickets.
My neighbor offered to help with the party (thank you so much Sadie!! :) ) and this is one of her boys doing the baseball throw - seeing how many cans you can knock over - way to go Karter!
Jake playing the Ball Blaster - Bryson actually made this game for one of his requirements in Cub Scouts. It's alot of fun (and hard too!)!
Jake getting really close up to take a shot - too funny!
Thanks Shell & Jason for all your help!!

Ty with glasses for the boys - they were so funny, you could wind them up and the eyebrows and mustache would move up and down. Here he is lifting the mustache up so he can eat some of his cotton candy! Too funny!
