Arrgghh, Pirates!

I love it when a plan comes together. 

Hubby bought this pirate ship backdrop months ago, planning to get pics with the baby grands over the summer. 

 Lady pirates with attitude

But we got busy, and the idea languished, 

until this week 

when he spotted a full-size talking pirate on sale (half price!) at a local store. 

Marie went costume shopping yesterday and voila - 

cutest photo shoot we’ve had yet. 

Donovan was napping for the first photo session -

plus wrangling him and Jaclyn at the same time would probably not have gone well - 

so he had his own session afterward. 

My favorite pic of the day is this one - 

Jac, standing just off camera and trying to comfort Donovan, saying, "Don’t cry Donvey, I right here."

Awwwwwwwww.
