pirates

henry's 5th birthday party was sunday ( a pirate theme). we made the invitations above together. he drew the map and we came up with the cute wording on the other side. so much fun watching 16(!) very well behaved kids play a 'walk the plank' water game and then hunt for a buried treasure. even though the pirate ship cake ended up looking like it had been hit by a cannon before the candles were even blown out, it was a great time. the best part was after all the craziness, henry looked at clay and i and said 'you are the best mom and dad in the whole world!'
