Today is National Talk Like a Pirate Day. You know how I know this? Because it is apparently important to the fine people at Microsoft. My husband, who is back in town (yay!), learned about this special day while at work. Good stuff, me hearties. The only way I know how to talk like a pirate is from the Friendly Captain Feathersword...
What a foolish idea for a "day". And apparently it's an INTERNATIONAL day. See here if you care at all about the details. I didn't. I don't. Only to see if it was really a day. Trying to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt I thought it might be an anti-piracy thing. You know, something worthwhile... but no. I Googled it and it is indeed a pirate day. Good times.
Anyway, according to Talk Like A Pirate.com's website, silliness is the key for the day. And so here is a silly Easton story to send you off for the night (or morning). He had a really good dinner. So, afterwards I asked him if he wanted to have a treat of 5 M&M's. He said, "Yes!" I went to get them and he came over saying, "I don't want too many M. M.'s, Mommy. Just two." And that's all he had.
Jason and I were debating earlier as to whether Easton's awesomeness is as good as before or better than before. I say he's back to normal (so, as good as before)...Jason thinks he's even better than normal. It's a win-win, either way. But, he's definitely awesome.
He's taken a shower by himself the last two nights, instead of a bath. Kinda different. But cute.
Okay, that was a happier post than earlier. Good for me. :)

2 M&M's? Such restraint!
What is it with our silly boys and independent showering?
Pirate Day? What can one even say about that? :)
I love International Talk Like a Pirate Day, ya landlubber! Arrr!
If only I could find someone to swab the decks around here. ;)
Easton cracks me up. Who passes up M&Ms? Okay, other than Katie, she doesn't count in these situation. LOL.
Some how this Pirate Day must be somehow profitable because that is just silly to have such a day.
I wish I had that control with the M&M's but I would be finishing the bag when Ranen was not looking. Bad Mommy. Stealing my kids candy. At least he prefers salty.
My question is, does Easton wash himself or do you still have to help with that?
I think E needs to give Ranen some pointers in the behavior department. Waaaa, rough day here.
The boy has willpower! LOL
Dalton is the cutest pirate ever! I heard about that day on the radio. Weird! lol
I saw the "Talk Like a Pirate Day" on Fox News. I almost played my "Treasure Island" game in the gym yesterday because of the significance, but I had too much I had to get done in our short week at school as tomorrow is a day without kids. Love the boys as pirates. Got Easton a cute pirate book with tattoos and eye patch at the grocery store yesterday. I will probably put it in his Halloween gift basket. SHHHH. Don't tell him :) Moo
I like Dalton's take on celebrating the day ;)
LMAO about Pirate day!! I would have never known.
And double YAY on E's good behaviour. That is awesome Kristin!!
