Carnival Birthday Ideas

So for Isaiah's birthday, in 2 months, he decided he wanted to do a carnival. I think its a cute idea since a lot of the games and decorations can be hand done. So here are a few ideas the kids and I came up with but I was wondering if anyone else has any ideas :) oh and not everything listed is going to be done we just wanted to write everything down and then pick our favorite's.

Mid 20's

I am officialy in my mid 20's *sigh* April 3rd I turnned 25!! We celibrated a little early since my dad's birthday is March 26, plus my son's birthday is April 17th so we decided to celebrate all together. We went a stayed at my mom's in Pasadena and attended the Pirate show. It was so much fun!!! It's an interactive show and pretty much all of us in our party got to be in it. My oldedst Isaiah got to be in it like four times, he was elated.



Unfortionatly you cant take pictures during the show but we got some before and after. This was our pirate (incharge of our section)...*sigh* hehe

Then Shay and I took the kids to the Santa Monica Pier and ate at Bubba Gumps Shrimp co., walked around and had a blast.





On my actual birthday however my mom, sis and I got our toes done and went out to lunch. Did some shopping, always fun, then they passed me off to my hubby who took me out to dinner to Bennihana and to a friends party...we were home before midnight. My mom asked why we were home so early and my comment was "we're getting old" LOL



So here I am 25...when Im done throwing my fit im sure i'll appreciate getting older, for now howerver I find comfert in my fit :-)
