my little pirate.

oooohh the smoggy blues.

tasting the air when you walk outside is never a good thing.

feeling like you can swim through the air is never a good thing.

what do you do when it is so smoggy out that it is hazardous to go outside?

in this house we run our purifiers round the clock.

we are ready to break out of these walls, see blue sky again

and breathe in fresh air.

in the mean time we find fun ways to be active in the house.

we have been playing pirates since Christmas.

H has pirate clothes and a lego pirate ship.

today mom left M playing in H's room for a minute

only to return and see that M had the eye patch over his eye.

along with the pirate eye patch is a pirate map.

today we drew our own pirate map, and hunted for treasure in the house.

dad would hide a treasure and then put an "x" to mark the spot.

it took H a few tries but before long he was able to read the house map.

we also like to play in the tent.

and wrestle.

pulling our hair out is how M shows us his love.

the other day as they where playing H said to M, "precious.  just precious" as he pet his head.
