Ahoy Mates!


Nathan has a great friend at school named Zinoviy.  This last week we invited Zinoviy and his brother, Maxim (just Joshua's age!) over for a play date.  Sometimes it helps play dates around here if there is one fun "planned" thing to do to help get the imaginations and interacting going.

Playing "pirates" is one of our favorites.  Props include:  eye patches (from dollar store or party store), periscopes (toilet paper tubes covered in tin foil), bandanas (clearance Halloween fabric...cut in triangles), and various weapons as needed. 

Hunting for treasure -- hidden 3 x 5 cards with a picture of a "place" to look next and a few-word hint for the "readers".

Enjoying their "treasure" (snack).

Wow, you never cease to amaze me. I'm pretty certain I could never do half of the things you do. You go SuperMom!
