DS and several of his friends invaded the yard today for a pirate-themed birthday party. It actually went off better than I planned, despite low attendance caused by a toxic combination of Mama-sent-the-invitations- to-school and invitations-died-a-quick-death-in-the-moldy-confines- of-nine-year-old-boy-backpacks. Either that, or there are just some rude-ass people out there who don't understand that RSVP means to have the common courtesy to call and let someone know you're coming--or not, for Smee's sake.
Beyond all that, though, we had fun. We tied bandannas on their heads, gave 'em eyepatches, let them swordfight with plastic cutlasses from Mega-Lo-Mart, buried a coffee can of plastic doubloons in the yard and sent them all over on a scavenger hunt to find the X marking the spot where they could dig, sugared 'em up and sent 'em home.
Arrrrrrgh. Mama's tired.
