Whew! what an exhausting but fun day. Timothy had his 10th birthday today & the theme was Pirates! Each time one of our boys has a Birthday, Wendy will ask them what kind of party they wish to have. Usually they will choose Starwars, Lord of The Rings, or even Harry Potter. However, Timothy has been hooked on a computer game I bought called Sid Meier’s Pirates and made his choice. I must say, it made for some interesting entertainment and activities.<\/p>\n
Besides all the “kewl” party favors, I devised a treasure hunt in order for him to obtain his present. I printed out a bunch of “clues” on the computer using an old-style font. I designed them so that one clue would lead to the next and finally to a Treasure Map I made denoting the location of his present. It took him nearly 1\/2 hour to find it! hehehe<\/p>\n
Tim didn’t want a birthday cake, he wanted a birthday Pumpkin Pie. And he didn’t want just plain ole ice cream, he wanted Cookies and Cream Drumsticks. Finally, we did the ritual Pinata breaking ceremony. The kids always love that. Wendy actually found a Treasure Chest one!<\/p>\n
