What Would You Do With A Scurvy Pirate?

In our home we cycle through songs, obsessing over them for a week or so at a time. Guaranteed there are a few all going on at the same time. Currently they are Respect and Scurvy Pirate from the Backyardigans. So tell me, What Would You Do With A Scurvy Pirate?

(Singing) What's gonna happen when we find that treasure?
What's gonna happen is we'll all be rich.
We'll have gold to last us forever.
And a big pile of candy that no one can snitch.
What do you do with a scurvy pirate?
Load the cannon up then fire it!
What do you do with a scurvy pirate?
Make them walk the plank!

Aargh!

Happy Birthday Taylor - May 3rd

Saturday, we had our neighborhood friends and family over for a
continuance of the Birthday Celebration for Taylor.

This is cake number one. Turns out Christian and I make a terrible team when it comes to the welfare of cookie cakes. Between the bleach bottle he set next to it in the car and my U-turn, it didn't stand a chance.

Cake number 2, just as lovely and delicious.

Kind gifts from Taylors friends and family.

Our happy Birthday Girl
(I can hardly believe she is 7!!!)

Hey! No peeking! (It was sooo funny how he was trying to be discreet)

No all party goers were able to last the whole time.

All in all the party was a success due to wonderful guests, a master griller (Joe) and all the fun and well wished brought this day. Thanks everyone, Taylor sure felt extra special!

Happy Birthday Taylor - May 2nd Bounce House

Taylor turned 7 on May 2nd! We celebrated by going to the Bounce House and we had a blast! Jumping and climbing, bouncing and sliding is so much fun.

Garett, Christiana and the kids.

Nothin' but net!
Go Owey!

Now, we just look at the ring. :)

The ring is exactly what she wanted.

SOOO Pretty!

TimmmmBerrrr!!!!!

As kids one of the many dangerous games we would play was Timber! we would try to keep our bodies as straight as possible and fall on something that was (hopefully) really soft. I think all kids play this game at some time. We loved it, so of course we have encouraged this with our own kids. That when after all these years we realized that it was dangerous. You know, its all fun and games until some one falls and whacks their head on the wall.

Taylors wild hair and face expressions make these pictures so much fun.

Hey Owen - Aim for the middle of the bed!

Whoo Hoo!

Clearly the best of all the pictures. :)

It was so entertaining , until Owen fell off the bed and whacked his head on the wall. Hard enough to dent the wall. Poor guy. And, yes, that ended the fun. I guess we will have to reserve this game for the Bounce House.
