A Pirate's Life for Me

This past week Wren and Judson's school has been focused on pirates.  The academic value of preschoolers studying pirates may be dubious, but the kids love it nevertheless.  Every day they have come home with some pirate's booty of their own, including all but a peg leg, and their little imaginations have run wild.  Wren even went so far as to say the she aspires to be a pirate when she grows up - but a good pirate, she assured me (for whatever that means).  She's certainly perfected the pirate scowl and "ARRRR!"
