Pirate Ship

It’s a Teacher Workday on the Wake County Public School traditional calendar, so Brian and I hung out today while Alison and Kendall were at work and school, respectively.  We did various things throughout the day.  In the morning I got a stew going in the crock pot.  In the afternoon, I thought we could take some corrugated cardboard to the recycling convenience center.  While breaking-down boxes, Brian spied this one that he immediately thought should be made into a pirate ship!

So, with duct tape, sharpie, nylon rope, cardboard tube, wooden splints, nails, nut & bolt, and more salvaged cardboard, his ship was constructed for glorious driveway battle.  I had a difficult time getting him to pose with his creation.  The compromise was that he would do one of his famous photo essays for a Brian-view of the world.  He really did a great job that I thought was super-detailed!  When looking at the photos, you can use this as a glossary:

• canin = cannon
• boot = boat
• mates = mateys
• bk = Brian & Kendall
• ps = pirate ship
• acru = anchor (Brian made two so that both Brian and Kendall had their own)
• pirit = pirate
• sip = ship
