Captain Luke's 4th Birthday Bash

Image

All owing to my sister Emma, here is the coolest pirate ship table you've ever seen :)
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The party store didn't have the supplies (pirate bandana's, eye patches and earrings) I was counting on, so we had to go with our back up plan - newspaper hats.  They didn't turn out very well, but we did what we could.  
Image

Image

We had some lunch on the ship deck before we started our games.
Image

"Arg! I'm Captain Luke!"
Image

 We played "Pin the flag on the treasure"
Image

Image

And had a treasure hunt...
Image

Image

Image

...to find the pinata!
Image

As "safe" as the pull strings are, I've never had one actually work that opened the pinata
Image

So Dad helped out a bit
Image

Image

Luke was catching the loot in his hat :)
Image

I made the "cake" out of cookies and such.  We'd been a bit cake'd out and I didn't want another batch of cupcakes at my house.  We also added some little pirate guys to make it more fun.
Image

My flags and masts didn't want to cooperate very well so they didn't make the final cut
Image

 But I don't think Luke minded.  He enjoyed blowing out his cannon ball.
Image

Image

He was more excited for presents this time

Spring Festival

Kurt played in his first festival and scored a 100! He was very proud of himself. Here he is playing one of his songs in the lobby for everyone to hear.

Easter

It also timed out that we were in town for Easter.  The boys really enjoyed being there for the cousin egg hunt. 
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

They were also very excited that the Easter Bunny was able to find them at Grammy and Opa's house. After checking out their baskets...
Image

Image

...they hunted and hunted for their eggs
Image

Image

Kurt found the golden egg
Image

Image

And Luke found the silver egg :)
Image


K wanted to say our prayer for dinner today, and dad reminded him to say thanks for Easter. He began, "...thank you that we could have our easter egg hunt..." :)


Luke made the tomb at church
Image

Aren't these boys handsome?

Pirate Sleepover

One of the other things Luke wanted for his birthday was to have a sleepover at Cinder-Ella's in the Pirate Ship.  I'm glad we were able to make it happen for him.
