Pirates

Aaron has a new favorite show called Jake and the Neverland Pirates. The characters solve pirate problems and earn gold coins---called something that sounds like "gold deblunes" and put them in their team treasure chest which pops out of the sand when they move their magic shovel.

Last Wednesday I was getting dressed and he came to me and said, "Mommy, do you have anything I can use for my gold deblunes?"

Sure I do...

So we pulled out the yellow coins from his Connect Four box. "Sanks Mommy!" he said.

A few minutes later he came back and said, "Mommy, do you have anything I can use for my team treasure chest?"

Sure I do...

So we emptied out his Home Depot tool box. "Sanks Mommy! This is perfect!" he said.

A few minutes later he came back and said, "Mommy, do you have anything I can use for my shovel that opens my team treasure box?"

Sure I do...

So we pulled out part of one of his musical instruments that sort of stands up like a handle-ish thing. "Hmmm... sanks Mommy. This will work for today, but could you please go to Lowes and buy my a real shovel that can open my team treasure chest?"

Ummm... Probably not.

He took his gold deblunes and treasure chest and shovel to Susie's that day. When I picked him up his treasure chest was filled with all kinds of treasure.

The next morning he modeled it all for me.
