International Talk Like a Pirate Day

Aaaaaaaargh!!!  Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day!  Ye land lubbers get hunting for treasure & eating pirate grub.

Yesterday, we had a fun pirate party.  We made pirate swords out of newspaper & cardboard. {Thanks Alpha Mom!}  The swords were a HUGE hit!



We had sword fights.

& a treasure hunt which included a walk on "walk the plank" & some nice pirate booty in the treasure chest.

National Cheeseburger Day


There is something about a really good cheeseburger that just makes my mouth water!  Make yourself a yummy cheeseburger or go & let someone else make one for you!  I know what we are having for dinner!

National Play-doh Day

So, I am going to be very honest here...I am not the biggest fan of play-doh.  With that being said...the boys LOVE it & it does keep them entertained for hours.  When I was looking for a picture to post, I just had to go with this one.  This is what play-doh makes me think of.


While looking at this picture...I notice a great idea by Spincushion.  I love how she thought outside of the box to create such a cute picture {below}!



I am going to swallow my dislike for play-doh & let me kids go crazy.  I suppose that you could make your own as well, but we have enough canisters that I have no intention of going there!

Collect Rocks Day

I don't know about your kiddos, but mine LOVE to collect rocks.  We even have a special place to put our"special" rocks that we collect when we are camping.  Rock collecting isn't exactly the easiest thing to do in our neighborhood...so we took a jaunt over to a fun little nature park.

Fortune Cookie Day

Today is...
Fortune Cookie Day!
I love fortune cookies!  They taste yummy & there is something fun about opening up the cookie & reading your fortune!


Muffin Tin Monday...Movies

Today's MTM theme is...movies. I asked the boys what their 3 favorite movies were. Peter Pan was one of Kaden's favorite movies. We actually haven't watched Peter Pan for a bit...so that is the movie that I chose.

So...here is what we had {while watching Peter Pan}.


top row: telescope {PB&J roll up}, sword {celery}, cannon balls {grapes}
bottom row: sky & pixie dust {blueberry yogurt with yellow sprinkles}, clouds {kettle corn}, pirate ship {string cheese & a cheese sail} & pixie dust sprinkled all of everything {yellow sprinkles}

Chocolate Milk Shake Day

Yum!!  Today is Chocolate Milk Shake Day.


I had every intention of making us some chocolate milk shakes today, but sadly...my blender didn't survive a fall thanks to a very helpful 4 year old.  So, I will have to just allow my mouth to water while thinking about one.

I don't know about your kids, but mine LOVE their Teddy Bears. Let your kids take their Teddy Bears with them everywhere, have a Teddy Bear picnic, have a Teddy Bear tea party, or read stories with their Teddy Bears.
