DECORATIONS: I made a couple of signs that I added to different areas. Coming into the house I had a sign that read ENTER AT YE OWN RISK, under the patio LAND LUBBERS COVE, on the shed CAPTNS QUARTERS and X MARKS THE SPOT inside the shed. I also had signs by each activity. I made each sign on the computer using the Blackadder font, this looked "piratey", printed out on cardstock and attached to a paint stick for easy display. As the children arrived they each received a bandana and eye patch. The boys got black bandanas and the girls got pink ones. I found these at our local craft store. The eye patches were ordered from Oriental Trading. We then gave each child tattoos, either on their arms, cheek or back of the neck and most wanted more than one. I found pirate themed tattoos on ebay for a very reasonable price.
