Arrrrr!

Elliott's birthday party is less than two weeks away.  He'll be six on February 14, but his party is Saturday, February 11.  It's going to be a Pirate Party.

Today I made medallions for the pirate hats.  Per Elliott's request, there will be several craft stations.  The kids will make pirate hats, ships, parrots, and chests.

The cake will be a pirate ship, which I'll be baking.  It should be easier than past years, because this time I have a pirate ship bundt pan instead of doing a cake free style.

Fortunately, Elliott didn't want to invite his class.  School rules are you have to invite all the kids, not just your friends.  So Elliott opted to only invite cousins and a couple friends who don't go to his school.  That adds up to nine kids, including Elliott and Jonah.  And I, for one, think nine wild pirates are plenty!
