1. throwing a Pirate Party for your kid's 5th birthday party, because that's what he wanted. (how awesome is it to have a kid that requests, nay demands! his friends talk & dress like pirates?)
2. having other adult-type friends who dress as pirates for the party so I am not dorky costumed mom...I am dorky costumed mom with friends! also, having adult-type friends who are handy with tools build a pirate game to occupy tiny ones.*
3. in the spirit of the season, rewatching old horror films. Bela Lugosi as Dracula is awesome, in a cheese-in-the-can kind of a way. Tonight's feature is Night of The Living Dead!
4. my mom comes for a visit tomorrow. I will be showing her off like a space-age robot.
5. Every time we mention trick-or-treat, Fiona interprets it to: chocolate milk. This has led to a number of improvisations--Fiona as an elephant, drinking chocolate milk. Fiona as a dinosaur, drinking chocolate milk. The action is always the same, but the narrative is what really makes it worthwhile.
6. K and Fuz move into their new house (woo! and congrats!)
*I am not sure if I failed to explain it properly or if they were just more interested in yanking each other around by a length of rope, but the game didn't happen as it was described to me.

Yanking each other around? I hope they weren't holding the rope in their teeth, because we know how that turns out....
Things which are less awesome:
1. Our house has no heat right now.
2. Our house has a roof leak.
3. Our house has a place for a light fixture which, once there is a fixture and bulb in it, cannot be turned off.
Other than that, though, it's pretty great.
