.pirate day.

September 23, 2010

Miss C had a special day at school yesterday…her class was doing a “Pirate Day” so she was going to school dressed as pirate
and the kids are supposed to be bringing a plate of finger foods to share instead of their usual packed lunch.

The thing is, i only just found out about this the day before, however the little miss told me that she has been trying to tell me about this all week
but apparently i had not been listening as i was too preoccupied with other things in my mind…*whoops, bad mummy!*

So i was feeling quite guilty about this as we looked around the house for things she can wear for her pirate outfit.

Since we could not find anything decent i told her we should go to the $2 shop to get an eye patch and a pirate hat….
she told me she did NOT want to wear an eye patch because only boys wear eye patch! She was quite adamant about this,
so we proceed to get her a bandanna instead and i had to buy her a pair of new black boots because of course pirate wear boots she said…
and i cannot argue with her on this one. LOL

Well after looking around her whole wardrobe we decided on a stripey top and black and white tights to wear with her boots….
she said she also wants to wear a skirt because she wants to be a pretty pirate….hell i dunno if there is such thing as a ‘pretty pirate’
but considering this was a last minute effort we settled on a red skirt for her to wear and she was happy with that…thank god! LOL

So i took a couple of snaps of her in her pirate outfit before i drop her off to school, but because it was so cold outside yesterday we didn’t take many….then as i dropped her off to school she asked me to come visit her at lunch time. I told her i can’t promise anything but i will try my best.

By the time lunch time came around i was feeling pretty lousy as i was coming down with a cold…but i still remember that made promise to try and document our day to day life more often and i know it will mean a lot to Claudia if i come and visit her at school during lunch….so i braced myself, bundled up with a few layers of jackets in my attempt to keep warm and headed off to her school.

I thought i’ll stay for only a few mins to take some quick snaps and then i can go back home to rest….so i took a few pictures inside her classroom
while the kids were having lunch and left after about 20-30mins when it was time for them to play outside.

I was going to post these pictures yesterday, but i was so crook (sick) and i crashed right after the kids went to bed so im posting this today.
The first 3 pictures were taken at home before i dropped her off to school and the rest are the pictures i took at lunch time in her classroom.

I asked her to give me a scary pirate face and this is what i got LOL
