My Little Pirates

Today was a pirate themed day for the kids. We started off decorating our telescopes (paper towel thing) with fish and Tinkerbell stickers.


Emmy was very excited about our whole day, whereas Spencer just kind of followed her lead. It was funny to watch them do the activities together.

We then used our telescopes to help find the hidden treasure. Here they are looking under Spencer's bed... nope not under there.

Aha, we found it in Emmy's room!

It was just a couple of swords that light up and some jewels (necklaces and bracelets). We took the swords to the park this afternoon and pretended to be pirates.

They thought the whole thing was pretty cool. We had fish sticks, mac and cheese, and corn for lunch today and Emmy said it was our "pirate lunch".


Kisses for baby Spencer!!!


After nap they painted pictures; Spencer's was a pirate ship...

...and Emmy's was Tinkerbell.

They also helped me make our jello dessert with gummy sharks in the middle.

Tonight will be "movie night". We'll eat popcorn and watch Peter Pan!
