This was for Ethan's 3rd birthday.  He wanted a pirate party so that is want he got.  We had a treasure hunt in search for some pirates booty, bags of gold coins and pirate tattoos.  They kids had to earn a pirate patch and earring before the hunt began.  They did this by walking the "plank", a board lying over a chalk drawn ocean on the driveway. The kids had a blast. 

Ok, so this is the first time I am doing anything like this.  I have been told for awhile that I should make some sort of blog but I never knew how.  After playing around with the computer for awhile, I finally did it! And no help needed from my tech coach husband.  The first thing I thought I would do is  share pictures from my youngest son's 3rd birthday.  He wanted a pirate party so this is what I came up with.  This was from September 2010 but I love how it turned out.
