J turned 5 this month (*sob*). We had a big old pirate party, and it was amazing. The kids all had a great time and, most importantly, J was absolutely thrilled with the decorations and things. So here we go!
 |
| Pirate hats - Acquired with eye patches, swords, and mustaches (as desired) by arriving guests. |
The treasure chest: Goodie bags (a.k.a. treasure) was put in the chest, which was made of a divided cardboard box and duct tape. The tissue paper was taped over the bags, red "X" marks the spot! This worked great until J got impatient during the plunder and ripped off the whole sheet...oh well. The kids had to do a treasure hunt and find the treasure chest (with the help of First Mate Daddy).

| Treasure bags - sewn from black fabric and stamped using poster paint |
 |
| Booty! |
|
 |
| The "Pirate Pirate" - This ship (complete with two cannons) served as plaything, pirate gear storage (swords, etc), and gift receptacle. The white thing is one of the clues from the treasure hunt! |
 |
| The Jolly Roger (which may or may not still be hanging up, on J's request) |
 |
| "To Prevent Scurvy" |
 |
| Pirate Booty, Cuties oranges, Grog (root beer), cannonballs (chocolate cake balls), and there were Goldfish crackers that I hadn't put in that blue bowl yet when I took the picture. |
 |
| The treasure map cake, made by yours truly |
