Pirates & lightsabers
Alec's fourth birthday was a last-minute theme shift.
He'd been asking for a Buzz Lightyear cake for months & I had a plan & all necessary parts. With less than a week before his trampoline party, he suddenly begged for a 'Jake & the Neverland Pirates' cake. I caved in & decided to do a simple treasure chest cake & a few simple cupcakes (the morning of the party, he begged for a 'Jake' on the cake & I complied with a half hour to create a fondant/super-lame Jake).
The trampoline party worked great. The kids had an hour to jump, climb the walls, tackle each other for balls, etc.

After which we herded them back to the 'party room' where they got to eat pizza & each child got an eye patch, fake hoop earring & a compass. Nobody liked the fake earrings.
Then, they got to play a 'treasure hunt' game we'd planned (I knew Alec would love this). Using a treasure map Paul had created for them, they collected gold dubloons from 4 locations & traded them in for treasure from the treasure box.

Afterwards, we had cupcakes!
Alec & Catherine, another early engagement photo. :) Really we had to force them to touch, as (apparently) members of the opposite gender are not worth our time.
