Little man's 6th birthday party...Pirate style...Ahoy Mateys

So my lil pocket monster changed his birthday party theme from Superman to Pirate's of the Carribean...yikes...what a challenge.  I thought I had it all under control but then I ran out of time and I needed to pull off this party with a very limited budget and very limited time! 

It was really fun to plan and I totally enjoyed it.  I wish I had the money and time to invest more in party planning.  I am checking out sales and buying things as I go along to build up on my own accessories etc....for now I will stick to doing my own parties and family events and maybe it will become something more series.  I don't quite want to stay in my current profession forever.  Change is good.  I like the challenge anyway...and I love seeing the look on people's faces when they see the spread and decor laid out before them...especially the kids!!!!  Brings me great satisfaction!

AAAAARRRRR me Matey!!!!!  That's the lil pocket monster showing off his lil outfit!  Mamma worker her butt of to make the most of the day...I must say though that I had lots of help from family and friends too.  I enjoyed the entire process...planning....buying the goodies....doing the decor myself...it was such a challenge...would I be able to pull it off or not...stressful!

The cake was so delish...yummy...I wanted to make it myself but that plan didn't quite work out...

Some of the decor...lovely mallow 'pirates rope'...lol...most of the photo's of the decor were taken with my mobile...these pics were taken by my dad who obviously didn't feel that the decor was that important to document as much as the kids having fun!


Lil' pocket monster posing for photographs...lil' munchkin!

The kids having fun on the jumping castle!!!! So much energy!!!!!

I will attempt to upload some pics from my mobile pretty soon...granted my browser on my mobile will allow it...

So that was lil pocket monster's sixth birthday done and dusted! Next year it's definitely Superman...so the shopping around already commences!!!!!
