Arghh…matey!

Oh how excited Dallin is for his pirate party! Although I think I am more excited than he is. Thanks to Amy, I have some great ideas and it’s all coming together nicely. This is the first b-day party we’ve done for Dallin so I want to really make it fun. Details, details, details!

Yesterday I got a pirate outfit for him and me at the thrift store. Whoo-hoo!  We delivered all the invites as well. Message in a bottle–they turned out SO cute! Dallin’s been walking around the house saying Arghh, matey. Hopefully he won’t get bored with it by next week. Lots of ideas swimming around in my head. Gotta get them all on paper tonight. I found the actual soundtrack they play on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. I’m going to play that and also some music from the movie. Going to give them bandanas, patches, and a map when they arrive. The map will take them to different stations. First station, walk the plank to get lunch with fun pirate food. Second station, pirate story time. Third station, gonna try and build a ships out of cardboard that they can maybe throw cannon balls (ping pong balls) at each other. (Not sure about that one yet) Third station, Jeff’s will make them balloon swords and they can have swordfights. Fourth station will lead them to a treasure chest filled with pirate decorated cupcakes.

So excited. I think this is the funnest part of my job!!
