Hello Tatertots and Jello fans, Jen here from CraftOManiac. As always, it’s a pleasure to be posting here today on tt&j! Thank you so much, Jen.

Today I will be sharing with you all a fun  

“Summer Survival-Carnival Lunch” 

Summer can be a little bit difficult to get through with a house full of kids, and hearing the words…. “I am bored.”

So I wanted to make my children’s mundane and boring lunch they have every day…
 REALLY FUN! 

And read on to find out how inexpensive it was …

So that is where the Carnival Lunch theme came in to play. I was at Walmart and found a bunch of cute one-dollar items in the party section. They were all carnival themed. I spent around 24 bucks to throw this party. Anything else I used or needed, including the food, I had at home.

I had my kids put on a movie in their room and all stay in there until I had the table and the food all set up and prepared. Once it was all done I told them to come out. The looks on their faces as I pretended to be a carnival announcer holding a fake mustache wand and all was… “PRICELESS!”

WE DINED ON GRILLED CHEESE, CRINKLE FRIES, DIET ROOT BEER AND SOME TREATS! not the healthiest but it sure was tasty and fun!
