Callum's Pirate Paarrrrty!

I will get into the pictures right away because I know that's what everyone has been waiting for.

Giant donut-shaped cake, made by Mummy!

The cake was a bit of a nightmare, but with a really nice result. We had an unusual amount of snow on the 10th of January (Callum's birthday) and I hadn't anything to make a cake. Decided had grown up in Ontario, snow no match for Mummy on mission for child. Absolutely wrong. Went down hill sideways in car thinking would kill offspring on anniversary of birth! Slinked way back home. Neighbour out shoveling driveway approached asking why would drive on during such awful snow. Explained super hero Mummy adventure and was led into neighbours house to be given cake mix, icing sugar, butter and pat on back. Success! V. good end to crap situation.

Champion 1 year old Callum!

Callum very happy with cake. Champion boy!

Fast forward 3 days to the Pirate parrrrty...

We open with Audrey, enjoying some vegetarian jello. Shiver me timbers was Audrey's saying for the day. She had learned the phrase from her Mummy, Angie, that morning. Audrey just turned 2 on the 13th of February and is such a beautiful and well behaved little girl...nothing like her parents!

Audrey, lookin' very piratey!

Keeping a keen eye on the midget Pirates below, Captain Callum Sparrow gets help standing...it's all that grog!

Arrgh mateys!

Wonder what was said on other side of room?

More pirates.

Sail ho! Metal God Quinn has spotted a ship o'er the horizon!

Metal God (Quinn) with his friends the Pirates.

Ahoy mateys!

Gaggle o' Pirates!

I'z feelin' like I'z gonna get scurvy, better chew on our hands for sustinence pirates!

Is this for the kids?

It sure is difficult photographing a group of unruly pirates!

Boy, it's sure hard to photograph a group of unruly Pirates!

Classic. Loves the box more than anything else.

Best present ever - cardboard box!

It opens AND closes!
