The Letter P

P was a busy letter. Here is what we did.

"P" as in Peter Pan. Joshua has been talking about watching Peter Pan for this letter since March, I think. So we did.

And since we were watching Peter Pan it suddenly became necessary to read Peter Pan - and sometimes at the same time. (He was so tired. I put him to bed at 6:00pm that night)
I should also mentioned the kids broke our regular DVD player so in order to watch American movies we have to watch them on the laptop, as you see here in this photo.

We couldn't help but notice in the movie and the book, Captain Hook kept looking at his map (der Plan, as in a Stadtplan, although it probably should be called die Landkarte, oh well. Landkarte doesn't start with P,) so we made a few of our own. Joshua's is a Map of Neverland. Mine is a map of our apartment. And I'm not sure what Abigail was mapping out.
If you look closely at Joshua's (bottom) you can see the Indian encampment and if you look really closely you can see Captain Hook hitting Peter on the head and Peter cutting off the Captain's hand. They're green and in the bottom right corner almost.

Then, since we had the swords from Swiss Days a couple of weeks ago (thank you Grammy and Grampy) we decided to make eye patches and become... Pirates (Piraten)!!


And last but not least, we went picknicken. I'll let you guess from which English word that German verb comes :) (and of course on our picnic we ate a lot of apples!!)
say cheese!!

Baby wasn't looking in the last photo so we had to take another. (Baby is starting to get really demanding - I hope this phase doesn't last too long)
