Pirate's life for me

Here's another garage sale find: a proper pirate's hat for $2. When the woman saw me looking at it, she brought out a pirate sword too...and I can't believe I bought it.

If it hadn't been Nick's birthday today...seriously, though, how far I have fallen after having 3 boys. When Chris was young I would never have let him have a sword. And last weekend I let Kieran spend his allowance on a suction cup bow and arrow. I still say a 100% no to toy guns, though. Somehow I can justify archery and sword fighting more than gun play because it seems less fatal. Pathetic justification, eh?

The pirate sword has already broken...as is typical with cheap Chinese toys. Maybe I should take that as divine intervention?;)
