Aye, aye Matey!

The other day the kids found themselves hanging out in the front room playing and starting to get bored. They wanted me to do something with them, but since I was feeding Caitlyn at the time I couldn't do much. I suggested that they pretend the couches were boats and the floor was water. That fed their enthusiasm and before I knew it they were jumping from boat to boat, swimming in the water as fast as they could so the sharks wouldn't get them. Before we knew it they were pretending to be pirates, which led to mom pulling out some old red fabric and cutting patches out of construction paper. Before we knew it we had an entire gang of pirates hanging out in our front room.

Mirian was just too darn cute going around growling and acting all tough.

Uh oh! The sword broke.

They all had a hard time with the patch on their eye. It lasted about two secons on Isaac's. The other girls had to keep tilting their heads to the side so they could see you out of the corner of it. What a great afternoon of creativity and fun!
