My Princess Pirates

Some days I have mommy wins

and more days I have mommy fails.

Today was a little of both.

Piper found an empty paper towel roll 

and decided to become a pirate with a telescope.

Of course, with there only being one telescope,

both girls had to fight over it.

(They wouldn't be my kids if they didn't!)

In trying to be a super mom, 

I went to the kitchen, 

emptied about 30 paper towels from the existing roll

and gave the roll to Elliotte.

(But not before having both girls watch closely

as I wrote Elliotte's name on her's,

so as to avoid a future fight over ownership of each roll.

Piper proudly wrote her own name on hers!)

The end result was to happy princess pirates,

happily sailing away on their pirate ship

(aka. my bed)

looking for Treasure Island.

Elliotte wasn't being much help,

since the roll was held to her nose more than her eye,

but she was trying!

And then there was my mommy fail.

I tried to make mashed potato snowmen

for the girls for supper.

They ended up looking a little...

inappropriate?!

Fail.

Arrrrrrr Matey!

Elliotte Paige's telescope.

And Piper Cee's telescope.

My mommy FAIL.
At least the girls thought they looked like snowmen!
