C is for Circus

For the first time since Landon has been in school, (he's starting his 3rd year at this school) I was able to volunteer in his class! It may seem like something so mundane, but as a working mom it was a huge treat to see how special events go and how Landon interacts with his classmates.

The occasion was Circus Day and all the kids dressed up as someone in the circus.  Landon chose what he referred to as "the popcorn seller". 

Carlos and I teamed up to make the cart.  He covered it with the Styrofoam and the cardboard. I embellished with all the circusy trinkets. 

It was so fun to see him wake up to it being fully decked out.  And yes..I hot glued each little piece of popcorn to the popcorn containers hot glued on the side. (hanging head in shame here)

Footzy the clown was on hand to perform magic tricks for the class and she called up Landon and another popcorn vendor to pass out candy to the class at the end of the show.

The kids also had face painting ..or arm painting but Ryker slept through the whole morning. 

At the end of it all, Landon said his favorite part was decorating the clown cookies...AKA licking the frosting off of cookies.
