Pirate Duckies!

This morning, while we were letting Mama catch up on her sleep...


Gabi watches her new pirate duckies swim around.

...we decided to try out Gabi's new pirate duckies! Papa is probably more excited about this new toy ("pirates are cool!") than is Gabi ("oh look, little yellow things"), but our little girl really liked watching them swim around this morning. In addition...


Gabi plays in the sink with her pirate duckies.

...the pirate ducks are helping little Gabi overcome her hydrophobia--up until a week or so ago, she really hated her baths, but she's been much more tolerant of them as of late. We spent a good 5-10 minutes splashing in the sink and watching our duckies swim. We sang some pirate songs, including "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" and "An Unserem Lagerfeuer"

Mama hasn't seen Gabi play with her pirate duckies yet, so this post is a good morning surprise for her. Good morning, Mama!

Our phone line was zapped by lighting in last Friday's storm. More pictures will follow as soon we have Internet access again.

What about the classic "Yo-ho, yo-ho, a pirate's life for me"? How is everybody and when is the moving date?

How about some Gilbert and Sullivan pirate songs? "With Cat-like tread" or "When Frederick was a Lad"?

And while I'm on this topic, do any of you glee-club types know a song that's spoof of "Rule, Britania" and mentions marrying mermaids?
