Arrrrrrrgh!!!!

Yesterday, Manny & Ariel left for a jaunt to the nearby playground, with plans to "hunt wolves", a current favorite game around here. When they returned a while later, I found that in addition to wolves, they'd also hunted (and raced) sharks AND they'd become pirates. An important part of playing pirates is having appropriate pirate names, of course. Manny chose "Captain Mingy Mongo" as his moniker and Ariel became the incomparable "Dread Pirate Mrs. Shelburg".

This morning at breakfast, Ariel asked me what my pirate name was then declared he'd give me one. He stared thoughtfully out the window for a few moments before deciding, "it's Tree."

So there you have it, Familia Flores, a family of pirates. Captain Mingy Mongo at the helm, the Dread Pirate Mrs. Shelburg in charge of sharks and the ever-useful Tree making toast in the galley. Arrrrrrrgh!!!!
