It's A Pirate's Life For Me!












Ahoy, me hearties! Hoist the flags, scrub the deck and bring out the rum - It's time for a Pirate Party!












Chaman had never had a kids birthday party before so we thought it would be the Richter's duty to bestow this pleasure upon him. It's 2 months since Chaman's 24th birthday but that didn't stop us from celebrating like it was 1988! Hannah had made a marvelous pass the parcel and Chaman won a book of Nursery Rhymes. (This, after answering "The Farmer's Husband" to the Trivial Pursuit question: "Who ran after the farmers wife?!")

We searched high and low for the missing treasure (buried in the sandpit of course), threw bottles over shoulders, ate with mouths open, punctuated every sentence with "Arrghhh", and even ate a pirate cake. It was such a quality day.

Highlight - Chaman sitting in the Queen seat with the knitting on his lap.

Life would be so sweet if everyone would treasure the silly moments and sing sea shanties once in a while.

No one does kids parties (or any other!) quite like the Richter's! It looks like so much fun! I wish we were closer so we could have been there! Have you told mum you put that photo on here (and twice?!)... I'm sure she'd have something to say!

love you!
