Alex's mom did the invites. She even went so far as to burn the edges of the invite... talk about setting expectations :)
my greatest achievement... I mean the kid of course :)
The preschool is part of St. Paul's Episcopal Church - hence, the name :)I can't take much credit for the creativity for this birthday party (just look at those invites). Alex's mom is a pro party planner. So, my attempts included the pirate ship, pirate flags for the hot dogs and treasure hunt. Apparently, these were the only things I could steal from the chest of gray matter that is my brain.
My clues for the treasure hunt (we had two teams going in opposite directions, so it was chaos figuring out who should have what clue):
1. A pirate needs rest. Go to the place where we sleep the best -- (answer: the hammock)
2. If it’s a letter a pirate seeks. Depending on the seas, he may have to wait here for weeks… -- (answer: the mailbox)
3. This bonny lass has just had a birthday. Her parents hold the secret to the pirate’s code, also called a parlay. -- (answer: our preschool friend who celebrated a birthday the day before)
4. While in a boat, a pirate dreams grand. He wants this between his toes and you find it on an island. -- (answer: sandbox)

Mocha Mom, that was GREAT! You must have inherited that creative mind for treasure hunts and such from A.L.
