A Pirate PAAARRRRTY

I cannot believe it, but our Smaller Child turned FIVE YEARS OLD. FIVE. That is like, half a decade already. I am flabbergasted by how quickly time is flying by.
Last weekend, we had a party for my little chicken. A pirate paAAARRRty!

We went to Unpluggits, where the whole idea is that all the play is without electronics. They have a huge indoor playground in the shape of a pirate ship, and tons of paint and take crafts for the kids to do.  The kids had a BALL!

Here's Smaller Child in a night costume, guarding the ship port.

The window to our party room was painted.

The pAARRRty snacks. Pirate booty, fruit swords, cannon balls, Jolly Roger Cakes, Fish and Chips.

(and pirate bananas)

Our swarthy captain! 

It was a fantastic party that seemed to go over well with all the (12) kids. Our little man sure enjoyed himself, and really that is the main goal. I am SO over the moon in love with this little dude. He is hilarious, tenacious, charming, sweet, kind, thoughtful, and well... just plain ol awesome. I cannot believe I am lucky enough to be his MOM! Happy Birthday Chicken!!
