Yo-Ho Yo-Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me....

How do I say this lightly..... Michael thinks he's a REAL pirate.  EVERYTHING we do these days revolves around being a pirate, talking pirate, or doing pirate activities.  Here is a picture of pirate Michael:

Sunday is Michael's 3rd birthday and what 3 year old doesn't have 2 parties!?!?  Since his birthday falls on Labor Day Weekend, we're having cake and ice cream this coming Sunday with all the neighbors.  His big bowling birthday party will be the following weekend.  But this first party, will be pirate themed.  We went to Party City this past weekend to get plates, napkins etc but Ryan was in tow.  And when Ryan is with us, he goes ALL OUT and buys EVERYTHING involved in the theme.  SOOOOO.....now we have more pirate gear than we know what to do with:

 
Even Baby Carson got in on the Pirate Loot:

Who knew pirates could be so cute!?
Quickly, the playground turned into a pirate ship and the whole neighborhood came out to play pirates:
Michael thought his treasure would be safe in this corner....but it was later stolen by pirate neighbor Zoe.

Argh, me hearties!
