We started of August with Elliot’s Pirate Birthday party and we had so much fun! My friend Tricia did an awesome job setting up this party for Elliott’s 4th birthday. Nadia also wanted to go in costume which I thought was cute.
Here are some of the decorations and food. Look at the cake Tricia’s mom made! It’s amazing! Nadia talked about this cake for days.

Jolanthe at Homeschool Creations did a Star Wars Preschool pack and I was so excited because I knew Nadia would be SO EXCITED! I prepped everything in secret and we kicked off our school year with a whole bunch of joy filled screaming! Here is what we started with:
