Pirates!

Now for the OLDEST-- he still loves Pirates. I asked him last night why he loves Pirates so much and his answer to me? And I quote, "I don't know Mom, they just fascinate me." My husband and I just looked at each other. No words. What can you say to a seven year old who talks like that?

And the second sequel, the third movie in the series comes out on Memorial Day this year. They already have a few characters out for this movie, and uhm, I got him two yesterday. I know I'm bad. He plays with them like they are in battle scenes (like in the movies). Here is a picture I just took of his little set up.

The movies kind of give me the creeps because they make them so real and the characters are so grotesque looking, like Davey Jones? He's an octopus head and the legs are his beard and I'm telling you, it looks pretty real.

But I suppose it's Disney's way of making Pirates fun, kind of a movie for kids and adults. Never show any hard core violence. Some scenes infer horrible things but you never see it, which is a plus for me because compared to a lot of our friends and some family, the Oldest leads a very sheltered TV/Movie life. As I like it. :)

Fun stuff.
