Pirate Birthday Party Ideas for Kids

pirate birthday party ideas

Our littlest guy just loves the make-believe. He’s always been our dress-up, stand-up, shout-it-out dramatic one! And I suppose we’re on a bit of a “P” theme with him for his birthday parties: Peter Rabbit, puppies, penguins, and now… pirates for his sixth birthday! With some party themes, it can be hard to find kid-friendly […]

What’s on the trail where you live? We had fun t What’s on the trail where you live? We had fun this week exploring different ecosystems than usual! (More to come!) We looked for manatees & gators (struck out on both counts), but found turtles, schools of silvery circling fish we can’t figure out, fiddler crabs, saw palmettos and cactus!!
Always delightful to make a departure and explore a new trail’s flora & fauna!
Curious if my Handbook of Nature Study friends know whether that book adequately covers different areas of the country? #handbookofnaturestudy #trail #exploretheoutdoors #trailhike #getoutdoors #familytime #homeschool #homeschoollife #homeschoolmom #homeschooldad #homeeducation #homeeducator #homeschoolcollective #sunshinestate #familytravel #travelingram #outdoorfun #momofboys #relaxandunwind #roadschool (kinda!) #fieldtrip #familyfieldtrip #homeschoolfieldtrip
Tell me what you’re most proud of your kids for Tell me what you’re most proud of your kids for this school year?! For me (so many things!) it’s the many pieces of writing my boys created (we used the @iew program this year). We have so enjoyed meeting with other students to read and discuss structure and style together! I think in total they’ve created 20 pieces of writing in various genres, plus the extra poetry lessons I’ve done with my boys through the year.
Today they decorated the room to celebrate the final reading of their formal literature critique papers! 🎉We discussed transitions between paragraphs, favorite genres and pieces, and complimented all the great writing we heard. What a great year of writing!!  Looking for spring or summer writing classes? Just send me a DM because I’m preparing those now!

Today we celebrate the #Resurrection! I hope you e Today we celebrate the #Resurrection! I hope you enjoy this poem I wrote while thinking about the magnitude of God’s life-giving power—read it here or by swiping the images, or view the video/music version in my stories!  Arise in Anthem  Who spoke a word— and stars arise and fill the sky with light?
Who with His word commands the storm, and brings peace to the night?
In grief he says—Damsel, arise! Returns the dead to life—
The Lord of all, the Lord of Life, to You anthems arise!  Arise, arise! Wake up and sing
Forever to our King!
Who died, who rose, who lives again:
Arise in Anthem!  Who wore a crown—and laid it down to wear a chain of thorns?
Who spoke a word—and tore the veil, the price: His blood outpoured?
In Him is Light—And yet he bore the darkness of our shame.
When in the garden we were lost—He calls us by our name.  We sing the Lord of Light and Life—Risen from the grave—
It is Finished: peace with God—a ransom fully paid.
And on the day He calls us home—through death or through the skies—
Each one a crown we’ll offer Him, as our anthems arise:
Our Lord, He is ALIVE!  #ResurrectionDay
