There is a 4-year-old living at our house!

It is unbelievable that Dylan is already 4-years-old!!! He is Mr. Independent...a little too much some times...and loves to help with everything going on except picking up toys at the end of the day. He starts school in just 3 short weeks and he is certainly ready. We drove past his school last night to help with his insistence that he was going to be late for school.

Dylan chose to have a pirate party this year. Roger and I went a little overboard (pun intended) with the theme. :) The weekend of the party there was a "pirate" ship parked in the Ludington Harbor so we went to check it out.

.

Not to be outdone, Roger turned Dylan's play set into a pirate ship. I named it the Jolly Roger (after Capt. James Hook's ship of course).

Here are some picture highlights of the party:
