Max is 5

I am tired. Max is 5. This is part of the reason I am tired. We've been celebrating and planning to celebrate for days. It used to be castles and now its pirates.
So, he got a pirate ship and a pirate party with his closest friends.

Well, one had pink eye and couldn't come BUT the others came and enjoyed a treasure hunt, pin the pirate on the treasure chest and of course, the pinata. No pictures of the pinata event, although fun, kinda violent swinging at the treasure chest. The one I almost chose was a pirate with a peg leg, which would probably be in bad taste (you know, swinging at a pirate with one leg until you break him). These 4 and 5 year olds can really swing hard. A bit unnerving...

Look, there's a girl! she decided last minute she had no interest in being a pirate and arrived as a mermaid. Rock on! In fact, several of the boys decided they didn't want to dress up either...until they arrived.


Did I forget to mention the pirate ship cake?


The party lasted about 5 or 6 hrs, that includes the best friend straggle. You know, the party has officially ended but...its still fun to hang, so, we order pizza, break up the 2 and 5 yr olds...eat more cake.







So, now its finally over. The ship has docked. A successful day and hopefully we will all get the sleep we have earned.
