Sam's party

We celebrated Sam's 4th birthday on his actual birthday this past Sunday. We were lucky to have sunshine and nice temperatures. I'm not sure what we would have done with all those little pirates if we couldn't have been outside. Sam (and Jack for that matter) have really been into pirates lately (I think there was an episode of Backyardigans that really got them inspired). Anyway, never one to do something halfway, we busted out with a treasure chest cake and pirate bandanas and eye patches for all (note to parents: I did not distribute the plastic swords that came with the eye patches, as to not actually put the eye patches to use. You're welcome). We really had fun watching the little people interact and play together. It was somewhat, organized bedlam, but isn't that true anytime you combine sugar and 4- year olds? Here are a few pics.

I think Jack actually blew out the candle for Sam, but since big brother didn't notice.......
