A new post!!

OKAY!!!! Here is a new post. You know pirates are berry busy people. We have to plung and pillage ships and hide our treasure from other pirates. We can't be updating our blog all the time. Yes, I said berry. That is because we are berry berry pirates. We say AARGH and berry a lot on our boat.

So an update on the little pirates:

One-eyed-Jack has been going to pirate school as you all know. He has been doing berry well. He has mastered the art of saying "Land Hoe". It was a berry hard quarter, but he made it through. He has also been learning the trumpet for those early mornings when we are too groggy to get out of our sleeping quarters. He still needs to work on it. He played tonight with is fellow classmates. Another thing that he has been doing is swimming. He loves competing against other little pirates to see who can swim to shore the fastest. Our Jack is coming along and one day
we know that he will make it. He is doing very well so far.


Mario Girl is going to school to learn how to be a good galley princess. She is not doing as well as we had hoped. She tends to lie a lot to her teacher about various different things. She has told her teacher that I wouldn't let her wear a coat until it snowed outside. She likes to say that she doesn't have homework. She does keep us entertained with her galley princess wit.
The new school story told to me by another teacher: the first grade girls where standing in line to get a drink when one little girl(greek myth) starts talking about something at home to this teacher. Mario Girl pipes up in her charming way to say that this girl lies all the time. Another girl speaks up and says that greek myth is not a lier and she knows cuz she sleeps at her house all the time.So the teacher says "All the time? Everyday?" And this girl says yes. At the same time Mario Girl's friend coughs into her hand "lier number two." Dumbfounded at this point, the teacher had to walk away. Here are some pictures of her:


As for Captain Moe and me we are busy plundering and hiding treasure day and night. Moe still likes his job and I am excited that I only have a month left before vacation. We recently took our Jolly Roger out for a spin. We got stuck once and another time we popped a tire. It has been a berry piratey time!!!!!

Meet the Crew

This is our captain, Moe. He is the leader of our crew. He steers us into muddy holes, away from rabid prairie dogs, and over dead water bunnies just to name a few. He also serves as our witch doctor as he is knowledgeable in all the arts of healing. He has been known to heal cuts, bruises, and all minor ailments with only a band-aid and some neosporin.
Famous Quotes: "I don't have to drive you crazy. I can walk you there.", "You smell funny".
Known Fears: Being eaten on Donner Pass, needles, broken
friends
Allergies: land sharks

This is our first mate, Prime Mate. She is in charge of keeping things in order. Mostly she just finds herself in a panic as the ship is rocked back and forth along the waves of life. Order is something she gives at a restaurant not something she creates. She is the reminder of all that is cautious and motherly. She prohibits all that is fun and dangerous.
Famous Quotes: " You're driving me CRAZY!!!"
Known Fears: boogers, spiders, stinky permeating smells.
Allergies: dust, mornings

This is our lineman, One Eyed Jack. His job is to scout out mud holes, gentle breezes that may lead to tornadoes, man eating land sharks, and dangerous prairie dogs. Without him we would be in great peril on every adventure. He is also loved and known for his wonderful incites into life and imagination.


Famous quotes:
"Not to be rude, but..." and "I'm just saying..."
Known Fears: gentle breezes, jello, exploding furnaces, needles.
Allergies: eggplant, possibly girls.

This is our galley princess, Mario Girl. She is in charge of the galley of course. She has mastered the art of making faces, and peanut butter sandwiches. We have great hopes that she will be able to galley us up any exotic food we may find along the way side. She is also known for her singing ability as well as her never ending chatting.
Famous Quotes: "I'M TIRED!!!!"
Known Fears: Soft cuddly stuffed animals, dresses being band from all stores, not owning any pink.
Allergies: homework
