Well I survived (barely) A's 5th birthday party. It was not the best idea to give 7 four and five year old boys plastic swords to play with inside. It was too hot to really be outside much. (M was not allowed to have recess that day based on the heat index). So for 2 hours we played inside. They always do things way faster than I plan. The treasure hunt to find the pirate gear was a big hit. So was my cake. I think it turned out pretty good. It is better than my attempt at Shrek last year. 
Some of the pirates that attended the party. Not too cooperative about getting all 7 in one picture.
The cake with the cannons (candles) lit. Look carefully at the back side. Yes, while on the treasure hunt our ship was attacked by another pirate ship. We are assuming anyway because they were already gone when we returned. I guess the rolos (gold) were too much weight and the ship gave way. The boys didn't seem to mind and it still tasted good. A thought it was an awesome party. Next year we might be somewhere besides home. We have had up to 14 girls for M's parties and never quite so crazy. Maybe it was because R wasn't there to help keep me calm. Whatever the case it is a good thing birthdays just come along once a year.
Didn't post last night because the power went out AGAIN. This time for just 3 hours but right at bedtime so it was tough getting to sleep without the power.

The cake is great, but then so was Shrek (yes it was)
You are an awesome Mom
Hey girl! That cake rocks! You are THE mom!
Reading about A's party reminded me of James and Ethan's 5th birthday. James had a pirate cake, too. Y'all were there, but A was way too little to participate then. Where does the time go?
Have a great day!
Love,
Kristen
I love the cake! Awesome job! And as a firsthand witness to Shrek, it was a great success as well. How do you feel about doing L"s while you're here? Just kidding! Countdown is getting shorter and can't wait!
