20060626 Arrrrrr, Matey!

20060626 Arrrrrr, Matey!

Arrrrrr, matey! Climb up! Board that ship! Out with yer cutlasses! Pirate Talesia has climbed the rope ladder into the huge pirate ship that fills most of the high seas of Sean's back yard, joining other smalls in celebrating his 5th birthday. They feasted on wonderful cake, and chugged fruit punch grog to wash it down. They sank the pirate ship pinata, bashing it to pieces and charging after their booty. Yo-ho-HO!

But our girl wasn't done with her fun. Another birthday party with more friends filled the rest of the evening. Balloon battles raged (until all the balloons popped on the pointy grass), and other fun and games kept her from collapsing until the car seat grabbed her and pulled her in, spraying sleeping gas at her helplessly held body.

Sunday drew us to ApolloCon, albeit a bit tardy after Saturday's adventures. The dealer's room was very nice, and it was terribly difficult not to spend the next 5 year's salary on the fun bits to be found. Although it was completely unplanned, Peter S. Beagle was delighted to see us as a family dressed in matching single unicorn shirts.

The video room roared with laughter during a short film with several guys on star patrol. Who is that on the radio frequency? Mom??? The leader's mother calls trying to get her VCR working, as the other members of the squad try unsuccessfully to contain their laughter - or their advice. As mom gets her setup fixed (wiggle the back!), in comes another call from a dish satellite service, installing in your neighborhood now...

A nice game of chess between mom and Talesia ended up with Talesia trouncing her poor little mother.
