Argh, Matey!

Just found out my Little V may need glasses. :(

Just came from a routine eye exam for preschool and the doc wants me to "patch" Violet's left eye for 2 HOURS per day.

Are. You. Kidding. Me???

How on earth can I be expected to make a willful three year old wear a patch for 2 hours a day? I guess we'll all be playing pirates a lot over the next 6 weeks.

Ahoy Mateys

Mad Mary Flint here wishin' ye a very Happy National Talk Like a Pirate Day! Arr! If yer jealous of me cool pirate name, ye can go and get yer very own! Me and me hearties Captain John Bonney (Jonah), Bloody William Read (Michael), Calico Anne Bonney (Sadie) and Dirty Ethel Bonney (Violet) had a great time bein' pirates t'day. We grubbed on pirate pancakes with whale blubber (butter) and shark blood (syrup) then we swabbed the deck t' get ready fer the birthday bash t'morrow. Me crew is all in their bunks now and I'm gettin' ready t' go an' walk the plank with me matey Angela.

Fair winds me buckos until we meet again...Arr!
