Pirate Party

Here's a belated post about our friend down the street Andrew. He turned 8 recently and had a pirate party on the Santa Maria downtown.

The kids all got dressed up as pirates and went to the boat for a private party, it was loads of fun and included a treasure hunt and sword fighting

My baby turned 5 today!! We are celebrating his birthday until his daddy comes home from training but I am so excited for him. Everyday for the past 2 weeks, he would wake, put both of his chubby fingers on my face and say "my birthday is today?", so when I woke him up this morning and told him today was his birthday, he was beyond himself with joy, he screamed and squeeled for a good 5 minutes!!

The cutest thing he did today was as we were sitting in church, he says with news bent down, I look like a 4 year and then he would pop his legs back to normal and say, now I"m a 5 year old... a friend suggested I should put him on a chair and say now your a 13 year old... but I don't think he would get the humor..

Clay had a special "ball" at school the other day, he was the narrator in a play and then there was a dance afterward for the whole 3rd grade. No one said so but the boys took it upon themselves to ask girls to the dance, Clay didn't ask anyone, but one of Clay's friends asked a girl for Clay, she said yes, but the next day said she couldn't go with him because she was going with someone else, I was secretly worried for Clay, was he sad, embarrassed, hurt that this girl had backed out? I asked him if he was OK, and he replied, "oh yeah, I asked Mrs Tucker and she's going to be my date... so ofcourse I had to get a picture of Clay and his "date"!!
