"You ARRR invited"
Had a lot of fun putting these invites together, THANKS Michelle for letting me use your cute pirate stamps!
ALL THE NECESSITIES...BANDANNAS AND EYE PATCHES :)
oi, I spent a good half hour making a few pirate flags to hang in the yard (NoT thinking....I used acrylic on plastic table cloth) the next morning the paint was all flaking off.....never mind.
arrrrr!
Some of the cutest RIF RAF I've ever seen :)
Another blunder.... everything was going smooth until I placed the lid on the back of the treasure chest cake. Then it all started to crumble. Um yea, I was not happy. Walk away, just walk away...
I guess it doesn't look quite as bad form this angle
eventually we just had to laugh because everything that could go wrong did. So it's the end of July and only 15 minutes till the party starts and the wind starts blowing like crazy, then it starts to rain, not just rain but poor and then the rain turned into hail! Soooo, we moved the party inside 
F.Y.I the kids favorite inside the goodies bags seemed to be the sticky eyeballs!
"ready for my close up Mr De Ville"
Even with all the "drama" the party ended up being a great success! It just goes to show that all the fuss that I put into the invites/decor/birthday cake and ambiance is more for me and my crafting needs then Jonah and his 5 year old friends. 
Oh my dear sweet Jonah, you bring a smile to my face! I love your silly laugh and the way you crinkle your nose as you describe any and every situation. I love how thoughtful you are with your baby sister Talula (I can tell you are her favorite:) You are growing so big and strong each day I cant believe how independent you are. I love you so much you are such a caring boy, often telling me "your the best mom ever", making me want to be better at being your mom. I hope you have had a special day and know how much happiness you bring our family! ((hugs)) mom
yo ho yo ho a pirates life for me
