"P" is Popular

Theme:  Letter "P"
One may think that the letter "P" is obsolete and it certainly isn't one of the favorite letters chosen on The Wheel of Fortune, but perhaps it is used more often than we give it credit for.  There are so many fun options for this week that I wish I could carry it on for another 2 weeks :)  There are pirates, poetry, princes, princesses, parrots, porcupines, pigs, pheasants, peacocks, peas, peaches, plums, pears, peanut butter, parties, pajamas, pancakes, pudding,...and I could go on an fill a whole page with more nouns and adjectives.  So, since we don't have three weeks, we focused on pigs, pancakes, porcupines, pirates, painting, and princesses.  We tried to talk about princes, but the boys shied away from that?

1. Have you touched a pig?
