Pirate Resurgence

Justin has gotten back into pirates in a big way. He has rewatched all of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and has the theme song looping repeatedly on his stereo. He's polishing up his sword and rope-swinging skills and has informed Dave and me that he is going to be a pirate when he grows up. We're still researching the necessary schooling he'll need.

Tonight he had "an idea in his head" that he wanted to make. It involved food, so I was a little hesitant. But when it was done and he told me what it was, I conceded it was sheer brilliance (for a 6-year old pirate-in-training anyway)!

So, without further ado, I give you:

Captain Jack Sparrow Sitting Under an Umbrella 

on a Deserted Island

The cookie is the umbrella, he has baby carrot legs, and a partial baby carrot for his head. The body consists of a chunk of raw brown sugar we recently discovered at an Indian grocery store. The little puffs are the sand. (the carrot-toothpick contraption is simply to hold the umbrella up)
