Pirate Day!

Happy "Talk like a Pirate" Day!

We are having a blast here! So far we have.....

*Dressed up like pirates

*Made a telescope!

You need constructions paper, paper towel roll and tape.

Tape one end of the paper to roll. Roll it up! Then tape the other end so it stays.

Enjoy!

*Gone on a treasure hunt.

*Had Anchor sandwiches for lunch.

*Had slippery planks (Celery and peanut butter) for a snack.

(photographed together to save space. lol. The "Planks" can be made and set in the fridge for later. Then you're not in the kitchen off and on for little things)

*Talked like pirates.

*Talked like pirates some more....

*Made a pirate ship!

The ship! I'm a little proud of myself!

Part of the oar and the wheel?

He's in there yelling "Land HOOOO" as I write this.

*We played in the Pirate sandbox.

We are still enjoying Pirate Day.  I will keep posting as we do everything!

Wizard Day!

I love to do fun things with Landon. I like doing them more when it's just the two of us for some reason.

Last weekend we had a Wizard day! Right when we woke up it started!

*We played with some Wizard cutouts from a neat craft book.

*We had a Wizard snack! Wands and witches brew (pretzel sticks and chocolate milk!).
*We made a wand and a Wizard hat!

(To make the wand: Take a straw(not a bendy one) and roll one corner of construction paper around it. Then roll it all the way up the paper till the end. Then tape or glue end. The star is 4 stars(identical) cut from paper. Then I bent each in half and taped them together. I cut the end of the wand stick into 4 parts. Then taped each of the ward parts onto the star shapes)

I didn't take pictures of the steps to make the hat and as I was just typing them out, I realized that it didn't make any sense. Sorry! I really should have taken pictures of the steps. In quick terms. Two pieces of paper. One in a giant circle, the other as a big rainbow shape(with the middle). Cut out center of circle but leave room to bed the paper(easier if cut) up into the other. Wrap rainbow piece to form cone. Bend cut pieces up into cone and tape or glue! hahaha. I told you it doesn't make much sense!

*We made some potion (vinegar, green food dye and baking soda....no pictures(way too messy for the camera))
*For dinner we had Wizard Pizza with toadstools(mushrooms), Lizard guts(sausage) and Dragon tongue(red peppers)! He loved it!

*Then we watched a movie and even had movie tickets! We watched The Sword in the Stone! Perfect for our theme!

I loved doing a whole theme day. I think we are going to try to do one every other weekend while J is away, then once a month when he gets home.
