I've always wanted to have a garden party in our new front yard, and I'm happy to report that it was a total success. Ava had a blast running around the big lawn with her friends, and the grown ups hung out and chatted on the other lawn. Octavio put out a few outdoor games and since our yard is surrounded by hedges, the kids could pretty much run free.
Almost everyone showed up, and we got the last sunny Saturday of the season... whew! How I pulled off 6 dozen cupcakes and brunch for 30 without having a nervous breakdown I'll never know.
I think one of the best parts of the party twas Peek-A-Boo the Clown. I wasn't sure if she was going to be scary or overwhelming for the little kids, but she was the perfect level of energy, sweet and funny, even the parents were entertained! She just sat on the lawn in a corner and the kids all came and sat around her. She made cool cute ballon art, did simple but cute face painting, did a little funny magic show that the kids loved, kept them entertained for over an hour so the parents could relax a little. Peek-A-Boo rules.
