Mom's Pirate Party


Okay, First of all can I say I have the coolest Mom ever?? Every year she plans a Halloween party for all of us that is soooo fun. This year we all came as pirates. When we first arrived we were told not to go in the kitchen, because we were going to have a mystery dinner. Once everyone arrived we were shown our seats, and our names for the night. I was Angelina Dread. My mom found our names on the Internet. She found a web site that if you type your name in, it gives you your pirate name. When she typed Trace in... She got Edward Pooped. As many of you know - that fits him pretty darn good. She added "in 'em" to it, and it was just perfect!
Dinner sounded like this: Sea Turtle nuggets (Chili) or Cultured Sow Belly (Potato Soup). Served with Salmagundi and sauce (Salad) or Pirates Teeth with Crocodile (Mac and Cheese with Hot Dogs). There were many things on the menu, but when ordered we had no idea what we might end up with. Everything tasted much better than it sounded.
After dinner we started a treasure hunt. All of the clues were pretty clever, and they had us all trying to figure them out. At the end of the treasure hunt, the kids had to dig to find the hidden treasure!
After a fun night of eating dinner and searching for treasure, we played more games. Thanks so much mom for such a great night. I love Halloween!
