It's here - the highly anticipated dress like a pirate day!!

Yep, that's right it is Dress Like A Pirate Day at school today!

Why you ask? Hmmmm... good question!

In fact it is the same question I posed to my oldest this morning. In response I got this look:

(Yes, I know this shot totally captures the incredible brilliance that is my oldest daughter, and while I could expound greatly on that subject we will just have to save that discussion for another post!)

So obviously, she had no idea why it was dress up like a pirate day so... we just went with it anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I am completely sure that the entire reason behind such a day was thoroughly explained buried somewhere deep within the thousands hundreds of papers that come home each week crammed into heavy backpacks. Somehow, I must have missed it.

So, this is the best we could do this morning (pre-coffee), when I remembered Ry telling me yesterday that she "must go to school dressed like a pie-wet".


I will admit that I had a brief moment of panic when we got to the bus stop and the other kids were dressed - well normal. I studied Rylee briefly and decided that I would just go with "I know... I know , but sometimes you just have to let them dress themselves. We are working on encouraging creativity right now."

But then to my relief, we were joined by two more pirates!
