pirate day!!!!

Today is pirate day for the 1st graders!  A note was sent home about it before Thanksgiving, but I kind of forgot about it.  (I would remember and then forget, remember and then forget.)  So, Josiah came home yesterday and said, "Tomorrow is pirate day."  My first thought was ~What is he going to wear?  I have nothing for him, but a bandana for his head!  Well, I was wrong!!!  I got on the internet for costume ideas, and then went searching the closets!  We found him a complete outfit and I didn't have to buy anything!!!  Here's what we used:

~one red bandana (already had)

~a white button up shirt (a hand-me-down from a friend at church)

~gray sweatpants (given by Gigi, I think.  Also, online...they suggested cutting the pants in a jagged pattern, which we didn't do)

~black rubber rain boots (given by Aunt Donna...they belonged to Chris, I think.  Also worn on boot day a month ago.  These boots have come in handy!!!!!)

~Josiah's vest from the wedding.  It is inside out in the picture.  I cut off the tags that were sticking out

~a sash that I wear for our Passion Play in the spring

~the sword- he already had, but he didn't take it to school with him

 

Last night, I painted his face with a moustache, but he decided this morning that he didn't want it.  He looks great!  Who knew we had a pirate costume at home?!?!?! ARRRRRRRRRRR!
