The Boys in their Sword Shirts.
On the Boat, ready to sail.
Demolishing the cake with any implements of destruction we can find.
So, I know you’re wondering how I managed to gain this most coveted title. Well, all it takes is to take your now six-year-old son and his boy cousins (except the Ceej and Arthur) sailing on a really, really windy day. Let’s be honest, though, they would’ve been happy to play on the boat in the marina, maybe even motor out of the marina for a bit, let alone sail with gale force winds. Wait, strike that, they were TERRIFIED of the gale force winds…they calmed down as soon as we took the sail down and started back for the safety of the docks. Besides terrifying and delighting them in one fail swoop…I managed to get even more points by making them all matching sword t-shirts, eat a pirate ship cake practically with our bare hands, and even find time to find a jelly-fish with papa Scott. A BIG thanks to papa Scott who took us out on the boat and who wins the honor of World’s most courageous grandpa…not afraid of little boys on an expensive sailboat, and a lot of white flour and sugar…along with lots of rum (root beer). That’s sort of a long title, but he deserves it. Anyway, we had a great birthday out on the bay and it was beautiful and there was, suddenly, a LOT of wind.
On a different note, Lily and Kaia spent the weekend with papa Scott and Katrina and had a wonderful time at a production of “High School Musical” in the city and learning about organic food, zero waste, composting, farmer’s marketing, eating locally, and honing their marketing ideas for their restaurant: “Cousins in the Kitchen.” Thanks to Katrina for loving those girls as much as they love her.
We’re halfway through the birthday season…sigh…just a few more to go.

Arrgh! Come on lads, don't waste time using utensils. Put your back into it!
Holy cow. Holy, freaking, cow. Emily you just described heaven to me. That ... sounds ... awesome.
Sigh. I'll just have to dream about it from here.
Marty - I'll take you to High School Musical next time and really, you can go organic with zero waste and compost wherever you are. No dreaming necessary.
(Emily - Did I really say zero waste to the girls? It must have been the sugar. I get so excited.)
Awesome! I want to meet Gabriela in person!
