Scurvy Pirates!


They are creepy and they're spooky. All a little kooky.



That's right! The Middleton kidlets clothed themselves in pirate gear and roamed my parent's home saying "arrrrrgh" and "I'm a scurvy pirate".



They attended a very cool Halloween party catered by their very own Nana. She is a whiz at party themes. Her grandchildren had a frightfully good time this weekend.




It was great fun! All ghouls and goblins gathered round for a fanciful feast ... buffet style. On the menu were delectable dishes like - graveyard gravel, skeleton fingers, mummy dogs, and apple teeth.



Oh, yes! There were games. Pin the tail on the black cat and ring toss on a witches hat were both something to giggle about.


And.... there were prizes. Lots of ticks and treats to tease their Halloween bags with pirate booty.


We had such fun!



So, on Halloween we carved a jack-o-lantern. Donovan requested we carry it up to his room to be used as his conventional nightlight. As if!
When I picked Ben up from school today he was eating his lunch tray in the cafeteria. (He requests a tray and I so love packing his Thomas lunchbox). His teacher said Ben has been really chattering away about this party. She already knew all there was to tell. (Kids spill all at school .... you've been warned)



Hope everyone else had a fanciful fright night.

Ha! Your kids used "scurvy" correctly in a sentence. That is so funny!

They really do have a fun Nana. The party sounds like a lot of fun.
