Arrr, it's the doughnuts we're after!

Sean and I were planning all week for today's fun activity.

Today was "Talk Like a Pirate Day," and Krispy Kreme was giving away a dozen doughnuts to anyone dressed like a pirate.

We did this last year, and it was great fun. But last year we didn't realize we would get an entire dozen doughnuts. We thought you had to dress up and talk like a pirate to get one doughnut. 

I wanted to get there early today so we could avoid the after-school crowds, and we arrived just in time. Just after we received our boxes of doughnuts a throng of pirates filed in.

We saw some really great costuming, and I think those people must be part of the Renaissance Fair crowd. We also saw a ton of Captain Morgan hats.

Sean was a great sport. We put a striped dinner napkin on his head, and I found a gold necklace he could wear, and then we used Dollar Tree eye patch, earring and knife.

I dressed up too, in a long peasant skirt and used my thick belt and some long necklaces, and a very long scarf tied around my head.

Of course we didn't need 24 doughnuts, so I passed on the second box to my brother.

It's becoming an annual event for us. Thanks Krispy Kreme, for a fun activity! The doughnuts are delish!
