Pirate Party





When the boys arrived they were given a head scarf, eye patch and fake earring. After they were dressed in proper pirate attire they decorated their treasure boxes with markers and glued on jewels. Next we played get the gold into the bottle by the boys taking turns dropping five gold coins one at a time into a bottle. (It is much harder than it looks) We were going to follow the treasure map to the buried treasure (treasure chest pinata) but since it was raining, the boys broke it open in the basement. The last game we played was treasure, treasure who has the treasure? One boy sat in the middle of the circle with his eyes closed while everyone else in the circle passed the gold coin around. When I said treasure, treasure who has the treasure the boys put their fists closed in front of them and the boy in the center opened his eyes. The boy in the center has two guesses then to find the person with the treasure. If he gets it right then they switch places. If not then everyone passes again with the center boy closing his eyes again.

Silly Face Cupcakes







For my son's birthday he requested silly face cupcakes. I must say these were some of the most fun cupcakes to put together yet! You can make anything. I just went down the candy isle to see which candies looked like eyes, hair, and mouths. Really sky is the limit!

Party Banner

I made this banner with card-stock and ribbon. I used a five inch circle, glued a four and a half inch circle on top and then punched a 3 1/2 inch scalloped circle out of the card-stock I printed the letters on and glued it on top of the four and a half inch circle. Next I punched a hole on either side of each circle and double knotted different ribbon between each letter.
