Pirate Party

Party Day!
Warning, some of these are slightly out of order...

The party table.  I give Pinterest all the credit for any good ideas you might see....

This window looks out onto our back yard AND the pirate ship by the playset!






These goodie bags were so cute (and easy)!  Filled with plastic gold coins, hershey nuggets, plastic compasses and any "loot" found during the treasure hunt, individual bags of pirate bootey.


The Little People pirate ship I found back in March at a consignment sale! 
How cute is that?!


Here it is!!!


There is even a plank to walk...


Buried treasure...


The Pirate!

When a child arrived, Walt greeted them saying "Welcome to my pirate birthday party!!"
Each child got an eye patch, hat, sash (boys got red, girls got gold sparkle) and a tatoo!



Pirate Shep!
How cute is Mar Mar in that hat?!


So the party was mid afternoon and priority #1 was snacks (guacamole & chips, goldfish/chips, cheese cubes and fresh fruit).

To keep clean up easy we made a little picnic in the front yard.




 

It's time for cake!

I wanted to cut the cake early in the party so the kids could run off the sugar while they played.
I mean let's be real, the cake is what everyone really wants anyway so why hold back?


Ellery could not resist tickling Shep while we sang to him.


Walt was SO happy.




To the backyard to eat and play!


I made pirate swords from balloons!  So cute.
Not hard to do but I will say that Cary used the air compressor to blow them up which was BRILLIANT.  There was no way I could inflate those molding balloons.


Okay...time to walk the plank!












Digging for treasure.


I mean...I turned around and saw this.
How cute...


A little more fun for the kids when a pool is involved.


Ellery has recently discovered honeysuckle so she had to take a break from the party
to check out the bush in our yard.


Lots of fun presents for the boys!



I was so excited to celebrate my sweet boys.  They are a true blessing to our family and I love them to pieces!
