Cowan Family Social

On Friday, we took part in the Cowan Family Social at Molly's school. This year was a "pirate" theme, and I volunteered to make a cake for the cake walk. There were 4 cakes donated from each class, and for some reason I figured most people would be making some marvelous creations to go with the theme. So I busted my butt making this awesome pirate cake to find out the day of the social that most people just bought something from the grocery store. Sigh... only something a newbie kindergarten mommy would do.


I did hear that most kids dress up for the event, so I made a point of getting costumes for my three kiddos. I found three costumes at a thrift store for $15 TOTAL! I love a good deal. Anyway, I'm glad I didn't pay much for Garrett's because he refused to wear it. Apparently he's not a fan of polyester! But here's Molly and Paige...


And here they are saying "ARRRRRRR" like a pirate!


The event itself was really well done, and they even had a skull and cross-bones flag flying from the school flag pole! There was games, face painting, food, dancing and even an appearance from the school mascot... the Bobcat!


AND top off the evening, Molly even won a cake on the cake walk with pirates on it, which we enjoyed all weekend! Thanks to all the parents that worked so hard to put this event together! It was so much fun!
