Spencer's Party

On Friday we hosted a late birthday party for Spencer. With all the holiday madness, we have the real party a few weeks late. Hopefully, he doesn't resent us in the future :) I'm a Christmas baby too, so I think I'm fairly sensitive when it comes to recognizing his birthday.

So, we had seven kids over for a pirate treasure hunt. We had a blast! It was the first year we asked for the kiddos to be dropped off solo and we acted like complete goof balls which probably would not have happened had the moms been here too. We had four treasure maps ready and one by one, we recovered the booty. Our poor pirate pinata didn't fair too well as I still see various pieces of "him" in our front yard.

After the hunting, we had a crazy sword fight. It was us against the kids and because we're the adults, you can probably guess who got hurt in the mix (and if you don't have a guess, the picture above will probably explain well enough). At one point, I was cornered by all seven kids. And yes, I did scream...loud.
