We had a big friend birthday party full of dangerous pirates, treasure hunts, and tired parents:)

in line to destroy that pirate pinata- we had bought 2 super big bags from Walmart, but could have used 2 more.

Israel threatening Shel Silverstien, I mean the pinata (anybody read Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Last Straw?)

Rescuing the drowning soldier from the water (something he'd wanted to do since seeing his cake the night before)

my friend Wendy helped me make the cake with a pirate lego set Israel got for his birthday (she supplied the bricks for the border- we're new to legos in the Hall house)
