This is a picture of Captain Barnacles. He's a polar bear and the leader of the Octonauts whose motto is to explore, rescue and protect.The Octonauts are one of the boys' new favorite tv shows. Kevin says he is Capt. Barnacles. Jason says that he's Kwazii. Kwazii is a pirate cat who has led a life of adventure. I tell you this as there's a funny story at the end of this blog and it ties back to Kwazii and his eye patch.When the boys watch The Octonauts, during the intro when the Octonauts are running through the octopod to get to headquarters, Kevin and Jason jump up and run in place imitating Kwazii and Barnacles. Joe managed to capture that here:
*Funny story here:
We had lunch today at CJ's in North Framingham, a frequent and well-liked haunt for us. Today as we sat at the counter eating ice cream and watching the news on one of the 2 big screen TVs (have you figured out what the boys like about CJs yet?), a woman with an eye patch came on and was speaking about something going on somewhere in the world. Kevin yelled out, "Hey, look! A pirate!"
I can only imagine the look on my face and on Joe's as the girl behind the counter who had just served the boys their ice cream saw our expressions and said,"Well, thank goodness she's on TV."
Amen.
