Golden & Freaky Birthday!

Today our little One-Eyed-Jack turned 13. I can't believe he is officially a teen now. I never thought this day would come. It truly saddens me to think that he is getting soooo big.
He had a party today to celebrate his birthday on this very auspicious day.
They went on a scavenger hunt with 13 items that had something to do with good luck or bad luck. Superstitions.

I made him a black cat cake. It was frosted while they were on the hunt.
.

Then they played on the x-box. I think that they all had a lot of fun.

He got lots of money for our voyage to California this summer, a watch that he has been drooling over for the last several months, a remote control moth, an Airzooka, and some boardgames. Thanks to all who sent him gifts and cards. He loves them. He loves getting cards.

*Notice in the picture that my front door is open. It was warm today and sunny and NO wind. Yeah!!!

Other piratey news:

I have suffered from sinus infections off and on for many years now. Lately these infections have been more on than off. I have a chronic sinus infection and so have been put on antibiotics for 30 days. I also went and got a C.A.T scan of my sinuses to see what is going on with them. I should find out the results on Tuesday. I am hoping that the scan shows something and that whatever is wrong can be fixed. I will keep you posted.

Mario Girl's school is collecting box tops for a field trip to Denver in May. Please save and send all box tops that you can. They are going to the aquarium. It is a really cool place and they are all very excited to go.

That is all I have. Til next time.

When do you need the box tops by? I have some, but will wait until I have more to mail them, unless she needs them right away.

And I cannot believe the boy is 13!! But glad to hear his birthday was a success. Sounds like a fabulous party.

oh and sorry about the sinus infections. They suck! And hopefully the antibiotics help and it will go away and never come back!!!
