Pirate PARRRTY

Pirates are super fun,

even though there was a time where I was pirated out.

Thank goodness right then Christian Bale came out with a cowboy movie

and gave me some space away from the pirates

allowing me to fall back in love with them.

Now  that I am a party planning mama,

I had an excuse to throw a Pirate Party.

Here is the banner that inspired it all.

I picked this up post Halloween last year.

I loved the colors.

To make this simple 
I am just going to show you some collage snap shots
with basic titles.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Okay, so that is it!
Thanks for letting me share with you.
Let me know what you think.


Next, an Owl party on the 23rd.
Have a wonderful weekend.

This party is linked to:

A Birthday/ Fourth of July Countdown

Okay, so count downs aren't really anything new under the sun.

This is just the QUICKEST countdown I could make.

We haven't really counted down before

because Monster never really understood the concept before.

However, he keeps wanting things that he KNOWS

are for his birthday and pirate party.

So I knew it was time to start the count down tradition.

I waited until this week

because I didn't think that he could handle counting down for more than a week.

That is

FOREVER AND EVER

in almost three-year-old time.

I just hung it on a little wall between living rooms

at a height he could reach.

I used a push pin that I glued a felt star to.

Each morning he can take a number of

until he sees this on next Monday.

Do you countdown with your kiddos?

What tricks are helpful?

What age did you start?
