Five
Today we had an awesome birthday party for my Eli. I don't quite know when he got to be so big! He is turning five today! That's a whole hand!
Word of the Day: PIRATE!
In case you couldn't tell, the party theme for the day was pirates. We had so much fun! I loved making the message in a bottle invitations and the pirate ship cupcakes.
Sharing
I am so excited that Spring is coming, so today I am sharing a shot of the tulips that are growing in my flower beds.
Wiggle
This is what happens when you drive up on the hillside at night, set your exposure for a second or so, and give your camera a good wiggle. Cool, huh?
Cookies!
Birthday week means lots of cake at my house, so I didn't really want to make cookies. So when I was at the store I grabbed a box of Cookie Crisp, which my kids have never had before. They were very excited to have cookies for breakfast!

So, clearly you have a lot more energy than I do. My son's birthday is next week and I am using store-bought invitations and taking four friends to Nickel-Mania. No decorations, no clean-up. Of course, it isn't nearly as awesome as yours looks. I hope he had fun!
ReplyDeleteOh, amazing pictures by the way. I need a cool camera to take pictures with too.
ReplyDeleteNice photos. My favorite is the wiggle shot. Very Cool!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you that your son turned 5 during the week that 5 was a hunt word! The pirate party looks like fun. Your wiggle shot is so creative!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Eli!! The party looks adorable!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the wiggle. Sometimes you can't always find the prompt, you just have to create it. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteVERY cool shots this week. I love all the cute details of his birthday party. You ROCK!!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE your pirate clad five year old! And fun birthday! I had a pirate lover too - now 23...it's fun to remember back to those days with him!
ReplyDeleteThat pirate birthday looked like 'da bomb' - very cool indeed and Happy (belated) Birthday to your young man. My baby was just 5 yesterday, today he is 17 - ouch! Your wiggle shot is very cool and some how cookie crisps scream 'kids' because as much as I love a cookie, cookie cereal just isn't doing it for me.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Wonderful set. Your new "5" year old looks adorable and the Pirate theme for the party was awesome.
ReplyDeleteLoved your "Wiggle" shot.
What a great set!
