So we have the small matter of a five year-old’s birthday party tomorrow.
And I still have to put together the favor bags and go buy drinks and ice cream, not to mention that I need to CLEAN MY FILTHY HOUSE.
However, I have managed to procure all manner of Pirates of the Caribbean-related party wares. And you’d better believe that every single child at the party will be sporting a Fundana.TM OH YES MA’AM. Because we like to keep it festive around here.
Anyway, this has just been one of those weeks where the blog has gotten my (admittedly lukewarm-ish) leftovers. I do apologize. But it’s also been the first week since I came home from Africa that I’ve felt like our little family has been firing on all cylinders, and that has been a huge – HUGE – blessing. It’s been a good week.
Also: today, on the way home from school, Alex told me that Pontius Pirate made Jesus die on the cross and THAT, THAT IS WHY, MAMA, THAT PIRATES ARE THE BAD GUYS, BECAUSE THE PIRATES HURT JESUS.
It’s an interesting theological perspective for sure – it’s just a shame that it’s not, you know, accurate. So somehow between now and tomorrow I need to convince my child that Jack Sparrow is neither directly nor indirectly responsible for what happened to Jesus. Or else we’re going to have untold emotional and psychological trauma at the birthday party.
Good times.
See y’all in a little while.

Holy guacamole! The new layout is gaw-jus! Love it, love it, love it!
I SOOOOOOO dare you to make up some game called “Swab The Poop Deck” for the party. Perhaps a variation of “Pin The Tail on the Donkey?”
I’ll will absolutely cheat and rig my next giveaway if you do it and blog about it (bonus for photos).
oh, what a pretty new design you have!
Well, my swanee, I just love the new look for the blawg. Can’t wait to hear about the pirate party.
That is adorable about Pontius Pirate! Too cute! I teach kindergarten and Pirates of the Carribean is HUGE with little boys right now! Have fun!
I just have to say that Veggie Tales crack me up coming and going and it’s really bizarre they have no hands…but are still worried about brushing their hair.
Wait a second…I’m thinking of “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything” (and they weren’t even responsible for the hairbrush song), NOT “Pirates of the Caribbean”. My bad.
I also just have to say…
n i c e b l a w g :)
Oooo! I love the new look! ‘Reminds me of the Tabernacle study and the almond tree and blossoms :)
Thanks for celebrating our answer to prayer with us today! God is so good! Mmm hmm! Yeah Baby! Happy Dance!!
Happy 5th Birthday Alex!! It won’t be long and our Tabor will be a big 5, too (July 10). ‘Hope your pirate party was smashing!

THAT, my dear, is one for the record books! Of all the mispronounced-things-by-kids, that may be the best I’ve ever heard! Pontius Pirate! And you know, it’s a pretty good idea actually. BTW:WHATABOUTTHEMDAWGS?? and that tornado!!
