shopping with pirates

It was inevitable. I had to go shopping with all 3 boys. It was getting late in the morning and the boys were running around the house in some old pirate costumes. I made an executive decision. The boys were coming shopping as pirates.

I'd way rather have people stare at us because of costumes than stare at us because of major melt-downs on aisle 3. The costumes must have made the boys pretty bold because they were saying hi to everyone as we went swash-buckling down the aisles of Target.


And while we were at Michaels I over heard the 2 ladies behind us saying "that's something Cole would do" and snickering "oh look, the little one has a bucket on his head!"

Oh yes, that would be my Calvin--my little bucket-head boy:)
I must say, it was the cheeriest shopping trip we've had in a while. Shopping is so much more fun with pirates.

  8. fantastic!! I love that you took them shopping as pirates. And adorable pirates they are, indeed. The other day my girls were in their "dress-up dresses" when I was ready to go, so we went shopping princess-style. I think it spreads the cheer-- people love to see little kids dressed up as something fun. Pirates and princesses make the world a better place! :)

  9. OMGoodness, they are so cute. I love the bucket on Calvin's head and Finny's pumpkin. They are the cutest pirates ever!

    One time I saw a girl in her red glittery Dorothy shoes, and I was very excited. It reminded me of Tacy.

  11. this post reminds me of a goofy song by a fun ska band named Sampo. it was about being pirates and i tried to find it online for you to listen to but apparently all their old sites and stuff are gone so i am going to make you and your boys a fun cd featuring this song. pirates are such fun when theyre only pretend.
