Happy Birthday to Jacob!

Jacob is 6 years old! Wowzers!!! Here are some photos of his birthday party we had. There were a lot of 6 year old boys. I learned a lot of lessons about 6 year old boys! They cried when they couldn't open the gifts, they cried when they didn't win prizes... they cried when their moms came to pick them up! And I thought girls were dramatic!

I spent at least an hour putting together a treasure hunt. This was a horrible task for the perfectionist in me. For some reason it took up way too much of my time, but in the end it all worked out! Since most of the kids couldn't read, on one side of the card I wrote the word and on the other side I glued a picture of the clue, for example "tub".

The prize was a Pirate flag Pinata!

we played pin the pirate patch on the pirate. I am pretty sure there was some serious cheating going on... (love my expression here. I think I was already going crazy at this point of the party!)

This was the first birthday party ever that we got to send the kids outside! It was a beautiful day! The boys loved jumping on the trampoline, especially when Jake's dad went underneath it and kicked them from under the trampoline, sending them flying!
