Because one party in a day just isn't enough

Sean's birthday party was a pirate Sponge Bob party. West got Sponge Bob decorations, and the kids colored eye patches on them. They made ocean's in a bottle (a shout out to everyone at work who drank a TON of water the day before the party, so we could have enough empty bottles!): West got shells, glitter, and locks and keys.
Add 1/2 colored vinegar, and 1/2 vegetable oil and you get oceans in a bottle. We hot glued the lids shut. West spiced it up a bit by bringing out more than just blue food coloring.
We set up a picture treasure hunt for the kids. We took pictures around the neighborhood and printed them off. The kids would look around to see where the picture was for the next clue.It led them to the backyard for the treasure. The picture they saw: what they found:
I tried my hand at a "Sponge Bob Sparrow Pants" cake. The black icing was way to thick to work with, but aside from that, I don't think it turned out too bad.

After the kids went home we started gearing up for the BBQ. There are a ton of birthdays in September! Coconut drinks were on our minds. Hey, we just got back from the Bahamas... it was on our minds still.

Happy birthday Ryan, Shane, Sam, and Sean!

Dustin started having a bit of fun with the coconut lids. He eventually ended up in the garage drilling holes and tying string to them.

Raschelle was determined that she was going to hollow out her coconut. It took a bit of work, but she did it! I must say, after all of the coconut we ate through out the afternoon while we were getting ready, and then in the evening and night as we were playing with them, I was most certainly queasy to the stomach at the thought of coconuts the next morning.

Being a sport and sporting Dustin's coconut bra.

His coconut bra turned sunglasses.
