The past few months have been BUSY!!!!! I apologize for not keeping up with my blog. This past May my boys turned 3 and 5 and we had the cutest Pirate birthday party...I have to share =D because it was sooo much fun to plan for. Thinking about planning this theme for your little buccaneer? Here are ideas that I found for inspiration: INVITATION: The map on the front is of Tom Sawyer's Island found on Google maps =D In photoshop I edited it a little and put Pirate's Lair on Jayden and Ian's Island. Here is the wording used in the invites that I made for my boys: Ye be invited fer some fun at a Pirate Theme Party! Captain ****child's name*** The Captain needs a crew to discover a bounty of hidden treasure It’s a scavenger hunt! We’d be eatin good, delicious treats, and playing some fun games. See ye there! Arr! Grub and grog will be served at: 1:00pm Sunday, May 23nd Chart yer course for: ****your address info** Yo ho ho let us know ***phone number and or email**** to confirm your desire to exercise your sea legs and search for mighty treasures PIRATE PARTY DECORATIONS The favorite for the kids was the cupcake kit. It's a 48 piece set that has 24 cases (or liners) and 24 assorted toothpick toppers. Kids just love cupcake toppers! Me, I have this thing for streamers and banners. They makes it an official party, so the pirate garland got an Arrr ("I agree or I'm happy") from me. Shown above: 1. Pirate Party Bags - set of 8 ($9.95); 2. Pirate Ship Table Centerpiece ($15); 3.Pirate Hat Party Set - 12 party invites and 12 thank you notes ($20). Shown above: 4. Pirate Bunting ($7.50); 5. Pirate Cupcake Kit - 24 cases & toppers ($11.95); 6.Pirate Plate - 7" set of 12 7" diameter ($4.50); Pirate Napkin - pack of 16 ($4.50) You'll have to remind your guests to bring their invitations because they double as a cute little wearable pirate hats! This set (#3 above) comes with thank you cards and envelopes as well. And of course no pirate party is complete with out a fabulous pirate centerpiece with piratey embellishments and pop outs that you can spread around the table!

TREASURE BOX FOR YOUR TREASURE HUNT use this site to print out the wooden planks and the key hole: http://www.fun-pinata-party-ideas.com/treasure-chest-pinata.html The red trim is just tissue paper and the key hole part Velcros shut. Inside I put the kids loot bags for them to find later on. The black bags were purchased at the local craft store and printed off stickers to seal them. COOL BIRTHDAY BANNER YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF...VERY EASY IF YOU OWN A CRICUT MACHINE =D http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36237075 use Mindy Terasawa's Little Treasures digital scrapbook elements. This boat can be purchased here Go to your local appliance store and ask for a large appliance box. Cut it into the shape of a pirate ship and paint. Place blue plastic in front of it to represent water, so that the kids have to “walk the plank” to board the ship. String black balloons with crossbones above the table for a more festive feel. Here is what we did since I ran out of time getting the appliance boxes to make one...I found a self-inflated pirate ship ring toss game and added blue gossamer to look like water. I made this game as part of the scavenger hunt...which I will go into detail shortly =D PIRATE PARTY FOOD IDEAS These are so quick and easy for a pirate party. The kids or the adults will love them and you will love how quickly you can prepare them. Print and cut out the template HERE on cream parchment paper. Poke toothpicks through the top and the bottom like the sail of a boat. I used them for my deviled eggs: . CHOCOLATE MOUSTACHES These chocolate moustaches are a lot of fun for a pirate party How to make chocolate moustaches on sticks You will need: chocolate buds or pieces zip-lock bag baking paper skewers (cut in half) or lollipop sticks Print out the chocolate moustache template and place a sheet of baking paper over it (or laminate it so you can re-use it). You can check on-line for a mustache chocolate mold. I happened to find one on Ebay. Put the chocolate in a zip lock bag and melt it in the microwave in 30 second intervals. Cut a small corner off the bag and pipe over the moustache outline with the chocolate, then fill it in with more chocolate. Place the skewer or lollipop stick in the middle of the moustache and pipe a little more chocolate over the stick. To make the appearance of whiskers, use a fork to “brush” the chocolate. Store them in an airtight container. They also make great party favours - simply place in a cellophane bag and tie with a nice ribbon. The Ship (aka food table) Deviled Eggs – Simply add a sail to your egg halves. Watermelon Boat – Cut the watermelon to resemble a boat. Fill with Cannon balls – melon balls. Here is mine and it was my first try at watermelon carving lol! Sword kabobs – Use plastic sword skewers for strawberries, grapes and cheese. Fishy Sandwiches – Make tuna salad sandwiches and use a cookie cutter to cut them into a fish shape. Add a raisin for the eye. Underwater Snacks – Spread cream cheese on crackers. Then add fish crackers on the cream cheese Fish Sticks – These could also double as swords Macaroni- (golden treasures) Chicken nuggets with ketsup renamed (“Gold Nuggets with ruby sauce”) Hot dog octopus: Cut the hot dogs in half lengthwise, keeping an inch intact at the top. Continue cutting lengthwise to create 8 hot dog tentacles. Grog Crocodile Blood – In a large bowl, mix a 32-oz can of pineapple juice, one 12-oz can of orange juice concentrate, one 6-oz can of lemonade concentrate, five cups of cold water, one quart of 7-Up, and a quart of rainbow sherbet. Chill until ready and serve to the gang. Add slices of orange, banana, kiwi, or float cherries in the bowl for an added twist. Water Labels: Other Treasures Fish Crackers THE CAKE The pirate ship cake (above) is the one I finally picked out and got it at Albertson's grocery store of all places....they did an awesome job on it and it cost me 40 bucks! Pirate Face Cupcakes I made these Pirate cupcakes for Jayden's classmates =D I used cream cheese frosting (recipe below) and the eyes are candies from a candy kit at Target also in that kit was these little bone candies pictured on the cap....the kit was purchased during Halloween. The mouth was made from pez candies. I used a light peach food coloring for the cream cheese frosting. The cap and eye patch is frosting from the tube at Safeway lol! Here is the cream cheese frosting: Ingredients 1 pound cream cheese, softened 4 cups sifted confectioners’ sugar 1 cup unsalted butter softened 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon lemon extract (optional) Instructions Mix cream cheese with butter until smooth. Add extracts. Slowly add sugar and blend until light and fluffy! Fill and Ice cake as desired. Pecans can be added to top of cake for decoration. Use a piping bag with a round #8 tip to create fluffy cupcake tops! The Games check out this really cool bingo game I found...I used this game as another stop on the map for the treasure hunt it talks!! $16.99 check it out here
Get your baking hat on and have a go at making our cute Mr and Mr Crab macarons.
This past weekend, we threw a Superhero 10th birthday party for my youngest sister. She loves costume parties, so guests were encouraged to come in superhero costumes, and Sarah and MaryGrace worked together for weeks before the party to make 'badges' out of perler beads for guests to wear who didn't come in costume. There was no escaping the superhero theme. When I say 'we' threw a party, what I mean is that we used our usual division of labor--I planned and came up with the menu and all party ideas, Mom did the grocery shopping, Mom and MaryGrace did most of the food prep, Rebekah cleaned the house, and I was in charge of decor, Sarah's costume, leading party games, and artistic table set-up. Teamwork for the win! First of all, there were WonderWoman invitations--created by MaryGrace and Rebekah. I don't typically do invitations for parties, I just tell everybody to come, but these were really cute! Sarah's WonderWoman costume consisted of a top I'd made using my new sewing machine--finding a sewing machine-friendly way to make an iconic WW logo seemed too difficult, so I hand-embroidered that part. MaryGrace made the crown and Mom surprised Sarah with the golden armbands on the day of her party. (Last time I sewed Sarah something to wear was for her 7th birthday in 2013...she's grown so little in the three years since that she can still wear the dress. Is there any wonder I always call her my 'baby' sister?) MaryGrace dressed as Queen Mera. Since no one else among us is quite as knowledgeable about the superhero universe, she spent the whole party explaining to us that Queen Mera is the Queen of Atlantis and is married to Aquaman and has some cool water powers. Had you ever heard of her before? I hadn't. I didn't feel like trying to be a glamorous superhero so I went for a Christopher Reeve-era Clark Kent since my normal glasses already look like nerd glasses--wearing a borrowed shirt and tie from Angel, a borrowed jacket from Mom, and a borrowed fedora from Rebekah. The black slacks are actually mine, and Angel recognized them instantly as my old cosmetology school uniform and complained constantly that me wearing them brought back bad memories of beauty school. It must have been a difficult time for him. Angel believes that the only costume worth wearing is a bear costume, but Sarah gave him a black cape and a Batman badge to wear, so he was Batman for the night. Now, I'm going to warn you, prepare yourself for a few too many food photos. We were pretty proud of our food for the night, mostly of the labels we came up with and the theming that was put into action. (This dip is Mom's absolute favorite, a creamy buffalo chicken dip, which inspired the name.) Our green-with-hints-of-purple (weird combo!) punch was appropriately titled: I crack myself up... Spiderman isn't a favorite in our family, but even he got a nod with webbed rice krispies! I'd seen the idea of serving 'superfoods' at a superhero party before and thought it was hilarious, also, I like fruit and veggies, so they were definitely on the menu! Cutest cupcake toppers ever! Jellybean infinity stones were Angel's idea. More superfoods! Okay, okay, enough eating! What really makes a party fun is the games. I had MaryGrace build "Thor's Hammer" (actually, two of them) before the party, our of a tissue box, a paper towel roll, and a lot of foil and duct tape. The hammers were weighted with a bag of popcorn seeds inside them and stuffed with cotton balls for maximum throwability and durability. My goal was to have a game where everyone got a chance to throw Thor's Hammer and see who could throw it the furthest. We weren't actually sure if the hammers would hold up to being thrown by all of the guests but we decided to treat them like pinatas--the game lasts as long as the hammer lasts. Impressively, the hammers lasted through two whole rounds of everyone at the party taking their turn of throwing them, and this was a highlight of the night, as it was a game that everyone could take part in--this was quite a feat, as this particular party included guests spanning an age range of 3-55+ and speaking a variety of languages. After the hammer-throwing, it was beginning to get dark, so we headed back to the house for more snacks and to wrap up our night with indoor games. We first played a round a game-show style superhero trivia, where two contestants would race to be the first to answer a trivia question correctly. After that, we divided into two teams for superhero charades. I came up with charade options by filling up one page with people from the superhero universe, and another page with locations, materials, and objects from the superhero universe, so we'd get a good bit of variety. Pro tip: If you want to make charades that are ridiculously hard, include the words: Vibranium, Adamantium, Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, Gotham City, and Mutant. Those words are surprisingly hard to act out. Also, it's hilarious to watch Angel act out Mutant. Also hilarious is watching Dad desperately trying to act out Groot while everyone on his team is repeatedly screaming: "Poison Oak! Poison Oak!" Is Poison Oak even a superhero thing? Sarah, who is the biggest Youtube expert of us all, requested that we make a birthday vlog covering the party...at some point, I stopped remember to take video and/or assign Angel to take video, but we did capture these fun moments, including the hammer-throwing: Of course, the guys always have to get some credit for playing a productive role in the day, so Angel and Dad headed up the clean-up project as we saw off the guests of the evening. It was a bit of a non-traditional birthday party, as we didn't have a cake or candles, nor did we sing the "Happy Birthday" song. Mom and Dad did surprise her with a WonderWoman doll, Sarah shows off her new doll in the video, but I wish I would have gotten her reaction to opening the present on tape. Safe to say, it was the perfect present for a perfectly superhero-filled birthday. What's the best birthday you've ever had?
