Today was Clown
Day at Preschool!
I was bit of a procrastinator on
the girls clown costumes.
I had made Nixon a tutu last year for Clown
Day and I intended to make Isla one.
I decided to take the DORA tutu from her
birthday and add more colors.
I grabbed a pair of adult clown tights
and cut them up to make leg warmers.
I was lazy and and didn't really finish them
but it was a lot less work and still did the trick!
Mrs. Sue appliqued Nixon a clown t-shirt last year and
I intended the girls to wear appliquéd shirts but they
were no where to be found.
(I have a feeling we will find them when we
get around to cleaning our playroom!)
So about 1am this morning I used left over
tulle and cut strips of the tights to
make bows to add to white t-shirts!
All together I think the girl's clown
outfits turned out cute!
I also was inspired by Pinterest to make these
cute clown hats filled with candy!
There was no tutorial, I just based it off a picture I saw.
I used waffle cones, red icing and skittles.
I bought gum-balls to put on the top of each
hat but I learned very quick that they were too heavy.
I also bought laffy taffy to fill each cone but
they were to big so I used Skittles!
Again, not what I planned but they turned out cute too!
And were very easy to make!
Nixon came up to me at the party and said
"Mommy, I really like the clown hats you made.
You are the best cook ever!"
This made me laugh b/c I am NOT a cook!
What did we do at Clown Day???
We snapped a few pictures before we left the house!
We tried getting Roman to pose for a picture.
The girls gave "clown kisses"
Isla sang the blessing before
she ate her party food!
Isla shared her food with Roman!
Isla grabbed a picture with
her teacher, Mrs. Michelle!
Nixon partied in her room!
Nixon and her teacher Mrs. Regina!
We then went outside to
play carnival games!
Isla's favorite game was the fishing game!
Roman even got a few turns!
Nixon played every game atleast 3x!!!
Jared was managing the bean bag toss for a while.
The girls had a great time with their daddy!
The kids then enjoyed all their candy they won!
They have enough candy to
last a couple of months!
Jared and I took a few pics with the clowns!
It was a great day!
As we were walking to the car
Nixon said it was the best day EVER!
