Where the Wild Things Are

Yesterday was a rainy day with nothing planned. Max decided to make hats. I am not sure what prompted this, but he started off making (with my help) a "knight's hat" and then moved on to a crown. After it was finished, he ran around the house with a stick that looked like a sword in his belt loop, wearing his hat. I look at him and realized how much he looked like Max from Where the Wild Things Are so I had Josh take some pictures. After the pictures, we went to the grocery store. The kids wore their hats (Lauren had a purple and white hat that she called a "square pirate hat" which was neither square nor resembled anything I have ever seen a pirate wear but she was happy). We got a lot of looks and several comments. The comments were all positive, especially from the many children at the grocery store that morning). I am not so sure that the looks were all positive, but the kids were happy and that is all that matters. What good is it being 6 if you can't wear a homemade paper crown to the grocery store.
