Pirates and more

Friday afternoon Damon was drawing pictures of pirates, pirate ships, and gold. I told him his cousin had a pirate party a couple years ago, so we went to look at the pictures on our family website. Damon loved it! He told me he needed a hat, so I made the boys hats out of newspapers. Then, he said he needed a patch, so I found some black felt and yarn for his eye patch. He had already confiscated a paper towel roll for his telescope and found a sword. He told me he needed a hook, but all I could come up with was a pipe cleaner shaped in a hook. We found him a box with coins in it for his treasure...he now wants a real treasure box with gold coins and a crown and bags of gold. He drew himself 2 different treasure maps and told me he needed a boat. My idea of using the couch wasn't good enough...he said he needed a real boat. It was fun to see him get creative...sometimes he needs a lot of prodding to be creative.
The boys are saying, "ARGGHHH" in this picture:)



I was pretty lazy Friday afternoon and never ventured outside...not even to get the mail. My mom had sent a little Halloween package for the boys. Barrett brought it in when he got home. The boys got cute little jack-o-lantern balloons and loved playing with them!! I wish I had gotten the mail a lot earlier!

Damon loved the mummy sucker from Grandma!

This is how the boys read books with Daddy before bedtime. For some reason, Tommy always has to lay on Daddy to look at the pictures. It is pretty cute:)


Today we went to the Apple Scrapple Festival. We rode a school bus from the parking lot to the festival. Damon was super excited to be riding on a real school bus without seatbelts!

Damon saw this huge display of candy for sell and asked me to take his picture with it. I thought it was so funny! He kept asking to look at the picture too. When we put the boys to bed, we talk about our favorite thing of the day. Damon told me his was getting a picture with all the candy:) He is obsessed with candy and treats. I wonder who he gets it from?
