Thank you. I gacked the idea from a book that had witches' exams. We just adapted everything so it fitted the pirate theme. I think we could have easily amused everybody for another hour or so. :-)
The youngest kids were 5, then there were two seven year-olds and two eight-year-olds. Toyah invited mostly friends of her big sis. It was a strange mix. I expected the older girls to be bored but they all understood that you have to suspend disbelief to have fun. The older ones were more amused even than the younger ones. I had two five year old girls (never know if that needs a dash or not) who were not at all in the mood for dressing up or any of the activities. *sigh* Oh well
Toyah was more than happy with her party. For her it's a very important status symbol - plus she loves getting prezzies, so she's been excited about her party for half a year now.
It's Tina's turn in December. I think I will make it a jewellry party - I will buy tons of beads and make jewellry with the kids. :-)
