McCord's 4th Birthday!!
Aaarrrggghhhh!!! Pirates Beware! Cordy's 4th birthday was a swashbuckling good ole pirate party.
Cordy's 2 little friends, Mitchell and Nathan, came over and enjoyed a few pirate themed games ("bobbing for apples" -- the sanitary version..., digging for buried treasure, and a treasure hunt). Everyone had a great time.
Sissy was very kind to follow the kids around on the treasure hunt and read the clues -- they all enjoyed the clue that read "to receive your next clue, you must walk the plank!" -- meaning they got to jump off the diving board -- the hunt took about a 30 minute break while they enjoyed a quick swim! :-)
The one absence Cordy kept noticing was his best buddy, Hanky, who was home sick with the fever Cordy had had the week before (see the post below...). Before his party, we took Hanky a balloon and Cordy wanted to move the entire party to Hanky's house so he could be there. :-)
Daddy putting up the Jolly Roger! Aaarrrggghhhh!
Pirate Cordy in his birthday attire...
Preston enjoying the festivities! Smiling, of course.
Cordy playing with his new Black Pearl before the party started.
The kids weren't so excited about bobbing for apples...
Daddy was really excited, though...
Digging for buried treasure in the backyard!
Blowing out his candle -- it's a bit hard to see...
Finding a clue on the treasure hunt!
Ooohhh! What could it say?
Aarrgghh! A clue!
Cordy was not sure at all about walking the plank... He eventually jumped in from the side. :-)
The Black Pearl in the water!

The Cake -- it was yummy!!!

Our Ill-fated Beach Trip
The key word in the title of this post is "ill".
Three weeks ago the moms decided it would be a great idea to take the kids down to the beach for one more weekend getaway while the weather was still hot. Hanky and Cordy thoroughly enjoyed their 1 morning of playing on the beach -- they had a little slew to play in and built several fabulous sandcastles and holes. All was going well until Cordy said, while still on the beach, "Mommy, I want to take a little nap..." This is the child who runs forever on the beach, not the child who naps on the beach. He fell asleep on the lounge chair by the pool (again, not normal!) and when he woke up, you could have fried an egg on his back. :-(
We left the beach early and returned home, where Cordy proceeded to give whatever he had to most of the rest of the family!
