It's Dress Up Day!!
Today at Carter's school it is dress up day. The choice was between pirate or Musketeer. He chose Musketeer......last night! So this is the costume I was able to put together in about an hour or so. He really gives it flare! The hat is his old cowboy hat from Grandpa Keith. The plume is a cut straw with several layers of tissue paper cut like a feather and taped to the band with invisible tape. The vest is his old paint shirt with permanent marker to make the designs and the sleeves and neck cut out. Then we remembered that he had a cape from his Darth Vader costume that would add more pizzaz, and voila! He was the only one dressed as a Musketeer but two other pirates showed up in his class: Oliver and I think it was Juan. This is all in preparation for Movie Night tonight, they are playing Puss n Boots! It will be a blast as the kids all sit on the MPR floor on blankets and pillows and have a grand time. Just let us know if you are interested in coming to one of them. The parent group has them monthly and they are free, but they do sell snacks to fund raise. All for one and one for all!!!

Carter Quotes
"Jack is like the ultimate lost and found!"
"Jack is a magic cat!"
"Jack is better at finding things than Mama!"
"My superpowers - I can see things that no one else can see, twist water, make pictures in the sky, understand animals and hear things that no one else can hear."
"It is getting very close to the end because years go past by."
"Something mysterious is happening around the house, my toys keep on disappearing!"
When he was sick he came downstairs and stated: "I brought a little water down to get some fluid in my bug!"

I just love all the ways he says these things! He makes me laugh - inside mostly but sometimes I just have to bust out too!
