Liam and Emma's Pirate party bash!

Hooray!! Today was Liam and Emma's combined Pirate party!!

Each child/pirate got a pirate map that showed were they had to go. They had to get each game marked off and then they got to the "X marks the spot!"
Shooting the Kraken! They had to shoot the kraken with marshmallow guns! The sign for this one said "Beware the Kraken! Quick! The Kraken be attackin the ship! Grab yer dart gun and shoot it! But be careful, someone might lose an eye!" For their prize they got an eyepatch :)


They also had to do "Pegleg Pete's Hop. Sees if ye can hop like PegLeg Pete. Hop to yer pirate gear (hat, eyepatch and hook), put it on and hop back!" For a prize they got a pirate tattoo.
Sorry, this one somehow slipped in here...Look at how cute they are! Sharing! hehehe
Oops, this one slipped in too...:) Telling a secret to her bestest buddy, Daniel.
They also got a new pirate name (I got the idea, and many of the others here). Their were three different bags; a first (names like slow, fat, sleepy, Red), middle or boy/girl (ie. Polly, Jack, John, Wilma) and Last (ie. Blackbeard, Sparrow, Silver). Every child drew one name out of each bag and then that was their new pirate name. Some of my favorites were Sleepy Sammy Pegleg, Loud Tina Thunder, Scared Frank McGee, and Round Ernie Blackbeard :)
They made and decorated pirate hats.
And threw scurvy rats (demonstrated here :)). "Scurvy Rat Toss! Help! The ship is infested with scurvy rats! Throw em in the bucket so we can toss em overboard!" I made the scurvy rats out of an old pair of socks felt and pink ribbon for the tail. Totally awesome! Here they got a pirate bracelet.
After they filled up their map they got to find the "X marks the spot" Which was the Candy Booty!!
(and cupcakes :))
It was a super fun pirate party with lots of super cute pirates
Then we ate Kraken Dogs
A watermelon shark with fruit salad, Deep Sea Jigglers, Cannon Balls (aka meatballs), Cap'n Hooks Salsa, and chips! Yummy!!



Last of all everyone ate their cupcakes, and we discovered why black frosting is such a good idea for pirate party!
Piratey teeth!!
and tongues
And I couldn't leave out this little pirate. Sleepy Sammy PegLeg, my favorite scowlin' pirate baby.
I had quite a few friends taking pictures so hopefully eventually I'll get to put a few more up! :) Happy Piratey birthday Liam and Emma!
It sure was a fun birthday party! :)

Holy crap Kira, you're the coolest Mom ever! I don't suppose you want to fly out to Utah and be my party planner?

I'm glad you moved to Iowa ;) cause I could never keep up with the super cool things you do for your kids. I thought I was doing pretty good with my rocket launching... You squashed that thought. Hehe. You're awesome and your kids are lucky little ducks to have such a cool mom.
