Captain Carso's Pirate Party...Aaaarghhhh!!!

The Captain pre party:) He didn't wear that bandana for long but it was so cute while it lasted:)

I got these hershey kiss covers online. So cute, but I wish I would have put them in the treasure boxes because now we have a ton left!

I used my stamp set and gold paint to make the signs for the candy jars.

The pirate list

Every kid got a sword, hat, eye patch and spying scope (I love that that is what Carso calls little telescopes)

Treasure boxes that came in handy for our treasure hunt.

Pirate mantle by my sis in law Stacey or Auntie Stace as the kids call her.

My 2  4 year olds pre party.

The Pirate goody table. Sister is in the back ground picking out the best tattoos:)

Chocolate cookies for "planks" and gumballs for "cannon balls"

Twizzlers for the "pirate ropes"

And of course cupcakes!!

Daddy dressed up like Captain Jack Black and Carson was delighted to say the least:)

They are saying "aaarrrggghhhh!!"

Rice Krispy pirate pops...so good...believe me I ate about 10!

I dusted off the sewing machine and sewed 4 pirate bandanas together to make this pirate flag.

Beautiful Cousins

My wonderful amazing fantastic (can you tell how much I love her) sister in law Stacey came to help me with Carson's Pirate party last week end and she brought my 2 favorite neices in the whole wide world, Marin and Hollis. Marin just turned 2 in December and Hollis will turn 1 next week. They share the same fun circumstance as Kate &Carson of being close in age. It was so fun to see my kids with the girls. They all had such a good time. My favorite part was when Marin would call out "Carsie!!!! Where are you?????"

My heart melts with this one:)

Marin has the cutest little mannerisms. When you ask her something and she should say yes she says, "Thank you!" but it's the cutest little thank you you've ever heard. I admit I would invent questions for her so I could hear that little "Thank you!"

My favorite face of Marin's. Just cracks me up. Oh how I wish these girls lived closer. I would definitely be doing a lot of neice sitting.:)

Carson started this trend and of course Kate had to follow.

And I love how Marin is right in the middle of it all looking so tiny!

Isn't Hollis beautiful? Look at those eyes! She is walking everywhere and so curious about everything, especially our stairs. :) We would put Carson in charge of not letting her go up the stairs but he would get distracted and there she would go! She was fast to!


 

Carson Turns 4!

On the day of Carson's 4th Birthday I told him he go ANYWHERE he wanted. He immediately said "I want to go to Old McDonalds" I admit I kind of ignored him and repeated and emphasized "ANYWHERE you want. Anywhere you want in the whole wide world." But alas, he held steadfast to his dream of a McDonald's birthday dinner. Drat. so we ended up at McDonald's and he was happy:)

TWO FOUR year olds!

Cousin Toby got to join us.

He is very serious about his hotwheels.

But not so serious about his Transformers Underoos.

Daddy and his girl

Daddy and the Birthday Boy

My friend Erica made hism this pirate shirt. It was perfect for him.

We're singing Happy Birthday to him. Can't ya tell?

Getting ready....

He got it....first try.:)

That boy really enjoys a good cupcake:)

Me and my future 5 year old.

Look at that...even Mom got a picture with the birthday boy. How lucky am I?
