Plan plan and plan!

I have been a busy bee putting my little Solomon’s upcoming party together. It is going to be a pirate theme and you know how we do parties…its gonna be big…its gonna be the premier event this year so far!!! LOL! So we are planning games like walk the plank, pin the eyepatch on the pirate, spin the bottle of rum (not to worry, very kid friendly, no kissing involved), a bean bag toss game, a craft of putting a pirate together, a treasure hunt and of course a pinata…and lets not forget a moonwalk. We are also going to have lots of tattoos, eyepatches, bandanas, and lots of “loud” music (solomons request). My mother-in-law is hand-making the loot bags. There will be lots of gold coins and treasure to give away. Isaac is also hand-making a treasure chest and a plank, I will post pics of everything afterwards. We are going to serve pizza, Solomon’s fav food) and cake of course. Solomon, the Captain will be dressed as a pirate. I can’t wait. Invites will go out soon, which my wonderful husband is designing, of course! Lots of family and friends will be joining in to celebrate our little boy who is turning 5…..wow seems like yesterday he was just born.

When Solomon was born, the doctor handed the scissors over to Isaac to cut the umbilical cord, Solomon reached up so fast and grabbed those scissors with a tight fist, as to say “I don’t think so!” I knew at that point, this little boy of mine was going to be a fighter, that its “his way or the highway”….my my how that rings true today.  He is certain of what he wants and he will do anything it takes to get his way. He is determined to never grow up….he tells me, “momma I don’t want to grow up I want to stay a kid forever.” I don’t know any other kid who has never wanted to grow up! He has also taken an interest in photography. Isaac is planning on getting him a nice camera soon….like better than mine!!! Thats so not fair! Well we are gonna have the best, youngest photographer! Trust me, this little guy has a eye for photography.  I certainly cannot wait for his big day. God thank you for my little guy, he is truly a gift.
