Pirate Day!

After keeping Roxy for a couple of weeks, the boys and I headed to Lyle's house to take her back and spend some time with the cousins. I had been planning to have a Pirate-themed day with the boys so I decided to just take everything along and do it with the cousins too. It was a lot more work (and a greater expense) than I anticipated, but I think it really was a lot of fun for them.

I ended up with enough Pirate activities to keep everyone entertained for pretty much the whole day-- success!

The whole pirate crew :)

Note: birthday party supplies and Oriental Trading are really good options for planning themed days. Cheap items in large quantities. Pinterest and google searches led me to most of these ideas.
