Of pirates and painting.

Nikki loves two things -- dressup and art. We don't have a lot of dressup clothes -- we have a box of old Halloween costumes that the boys rummage through and the princess dress. Yesterday I had to run out to buy Ben a suitcase for the trip. As I was leaving Tuesday Morning I spotted two dressup outfits on the sale rack -- a ballerina outfit and a pirate outfit. I couldn't resist. Here's Nikki the pirate saying "Argh!"

I found a lightweight black suitcase set for Ben at Target. I was supposed to be napping in the afternoon and instead I pulled out the paints and stencils and decorated. :-) I know I should have napped and then finished packing... but it felt so good to do something FUN for once. I paid for it by being totally wiped out all evening...

Good,
we have some thing in store for them which might inspire Nikki to more dress-up things.
