Arrr! Ian Has a Birthday Party We hosted a birthday party for Ian this past weekend where a bunch of his friends from school and the neighborhood all descended upon our house. 13 kids in total aged 8 and under. Which is way outside my comfort zone. I love my kids, but other people's . . . Anyway, it was my first experience with playing host to a kid's birthday party. Sure Heather and a friend of ours ran most of the party, but I helped out as well. So much noise and random behavior. It's clear to me why I never became a teacher. The theme of the party was Pirates of the Caribbean. Even though Ian's only seen the first film, he's read the junior novelizations for all three movies and loves the franchise - as it were. We had eye patches and temporary tattoos, a bunch of pirate themed games (including walking the plank over a kiddie pool), and treasure chest pinata. But the highlight of the party, in my opinion, was the birthday cake Heather crafted. Easily one of her finest creations to date, she made a pirate's treasure chest that was partially open to reveal the gold coins contained within.  posted by Brendan | 12:48 PM | permanent link |
