My Pirate Husband



My husband might not like this, but I have to brag about him! Last year for Halloween, Mike and I dressed up in this great costume set that Mike's Mom made of Jack Sparrow and his lovely "wench". It was a hit! Anyway, my Mom had a Pirate Party for all of her grandsons a couple of weeks ago and asked Mike if he would be willing to come make an appearance at the party in this costume! He was a little hesitant and I knew it was not at the top of his "I am dying to do this" list, but he did it anyway because my husband is a softy. So, after working a 7 am- 7 pm shift at work, he drove home, donned his outfit, and drove clear down to Orem and made his grand appearance! And boy was it grand! Our nephew Blake, was so excited when "Captain Jack" snuck into the party and started sword fighting with everyone that he was literally shaking because he was so excited and didn't know what to do with himself! After a million pictures, walking the plank, a treasure hunt, and the little boys sharing their "booty" with him, it was a successful night for our "Captain Jack Sparrow"!
