Return of the Krispy Kreme Pirates


Doughnuts!  Once again, we pirates celebrated one of the most sacred holidays of the year, a day we all Talk Like a Pirate.  Madison is quite proficient at talking like a pirate, certainly after working on her "arrrrs" at speech therapy.


After a bit of work today, we raced down to Krispy Kreme, our fourth annual trip I think.  Madison was ready to take on the place once more, ready to grab some free doughnuts.  Although I think she prefers the ones that have sprinkles.  Mommy sadly can't eat these doughnuts, as they are 100% gluten. They're 100% delicious too, and once again Krispy Kreme wins the day by giving away a box of a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts just for showing up at their store dressed as a pirate.  Seriously, we dress up like a pirate all the time anyway, so this is no big deal!

Of course, we're reading the latest Jack Sparrow book, "The Timekeeper," which adds more flavor to "Talk Like a Pirate Day."  We even had the soundtrack playing in the car for a bit, which was fun and added to the adventure of the day.

Mommy came in to help at work today - we were wrapping up a huge women's conference upstairs with thousands of women here to listen to various speakers and get involved in all sorts of post-service activities.  Meanwhile, we were downstairs, preparing for tomorrow's service.  Daddy wrote a new script for our time travel series, and it has a "Bill and Ted" feel to it, although the two main characters are actually girls.  This seems to be the trend lately in movies anyway - taking classic guy roles from the past and giving them to girls.  So yeah, that's what I'm doing.  Really, it was just an idea we had, and I think it'll be fun.

It was a busy day, actually.  But doughnuts always add a bit of fun.  There's no way we can eat them all - Daddy had two, and that's it.  So we share them with the cleaning crew at the church, who were pretty excited to grab a few doughnuts.  A few of them even starting saying, "Arrrrr!"
