We had Alex’s 6th Birthday Saturday July 22nd at mom’s house.
Alex chose a pirate theme for his party.

I created a custom invitation (above). I drew the little pirate and created the map and the text in photoshop. I am planning on making all the party invitations from here on out. (I need to get started on Parkers!)

We were so behind that Brandi had to call everyone anyway and she ended up hand delivering the invitations later that week.

We had a blank cake made at Walmart and Brandi did the decorating on it. I was skeptical and a real pain in the butt about it, but she pulled it off great and instead of cake I had to eat crow.

We had a swimming party. Mom had her pool and we also put out a slip and slide.

The weather turned out to be really good; it was hot enough to want to swim but not so hot you couldn’t stand being outside.

We ordered pizza from Little Caesars and even though they don’t open until 11am we called the night before and they said they would make them and could be picked up at 10:30am. I got down there and they forgot but made them pretty quickly so I wasn’t too late.

Here are some photos:
