Arghhh! Zzzzzzzz…
We had Noah’s little Bucaneer bash today and it was fantabulous! We had friends, good food, fun costumes, and a fantastic time. I really tested my creativity with this party and I’m pretty proud of how it all came out!
Jeremy was really busy getting the yard ready, so I ended up making the cake for the party. And I’m soooo glad I did because it was fun and challenging. The end result made it worth having to apologize for my temper tantrums later. I flung icing at everyone in the house if they dared to talk to me while I was in my artistic cake making mode. 
I finished our costumes just barely, but they came out pretty cute, no?
The babies would not pose for me no matter what bribery I tried. So I had to sneak pictures in while they weren’t looking…
My favorite part of Noah’s costume was this awesome tattoo I found on eBay… So Piratey!
I made some of the decorations. Here’s a banner I put together…
The kids loved their goodie bags– I filled them with tattoos, water guns, pirate finger puppets, beach balls, bubble swords, and wooden flutes.
The food was pretty yummy, but simple… Fruit kabobs, sandwiches, veggie trays, deviled eggs, mac salad, beans, and a few other odds and ends.
But most of all, Noah had a fantastic time playing with his friends, eating cake, and being the center of attention. It was such fun! But now I’m tired from getting it all together. A haggard mommy pirate indeed. So I’m going to take a week or so to recover and endulge in having absolutely no projects to work on. Naps. Yessss. Leftover cake. Yessss.
And an update on the preggy sit: I’m having no more nausea (which isn’t good), a teensy bit of cramping (which means nothing), and I’ve gained every last pound I lost from the diet I started before I knew I was pregnant (so what!). I’ve got an OB appt. next week and we’ll see if those hormones keep multiplying via some blood work. But just so you know, I’m relaxed and content. I’ve given it to God. I’m so blessed and happy and loved. And we’ll just wait and see what happens…
Have a beautiful weekend my friends!
