The following is based on a true story….
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, a home schooling pirate mom woke up to her dining room table looking like this….
She was a nice, neat pirate, who liked order and cleanliness. She was an unusual pirate.
Innocently, she called her pirate children down for a day of school and said, “Today, children, we are going to decorate covers for our notebooks.”
So that’s what the children did. Her children, however, were ordinary pirates who enjoyed mess, mayhem and gore.
When they were finished, the pirate mom’s table looked like this…
…and the pirate mom screamed, and cried, and gnashed her teeth, and said, “Now we have to go eat dinner at Cracker Barrel because we can’t see the top of our table.”
The End.
Oh, the humanity! Cracker Barrel, huh? We can make it by six if we leave right away. Your pictures of the kids were great, btw.

Love the project! Looks like fun….. The mess? I see it daily. *sigh* We went to Cracker Barrel last night. I love not cooking, though I haven’t tried your reasoning yet. I’ll add it to my list!

I’d be praising the children for making the mess so I didn’t have to cook. LOL

I love a story with a happy ending! The notebooks look great too.
You are so funny! I thought someone was going to glue their face to the table or something. That probably would only happen in my house. Anyhoo, have a great week.

Oh! The tragedy!!! To have to suffer through Cracker Barrel for dinner!! How inhumane!! hehe snort!
Love your post!

That’s as good an exuse as any to go to Cracker Barrell. Nobody in my family is a neat pirate. Our dining room table is always covered with junk. I tell my family if they want me to cook, they have to clean up the table.

I haven’t been to Cracker Barrel in years (the ones here are awful)! I know everything I have been working on in the house over the last week is going to come undone next Monday. I’ll join you in a good cry.
