How he ended up being dressed for Thanksgiving Dinner:
We've been learning a lot about the word compromise this month. After a substantial discussion on how a historical pirate would sooner be seen in a sweater and black pants than shorts and a t-shirt, particularly a Saint Patrick's Day t-shirt (Were there Irish pirates?), we all got our way :-).Anyway, I hope you all had a great holiday, and none of you are in some God forsaken Walmart right now fighting over half-priced Chia Pets or something.
We had a wonderful day of family and food, though I seem to have lost an arm:
I blame the pirate.

lol where is your arm? that is so weird.
:-) I was surprised too when I saw the picture. My hand is patting the back of Brian's head; I think I'm double jointed or something.
Cute.
Though maybe YOU should have dressed as a one-armed pirate! ;)
We, too, had a very nice Thanksgiving here with several of Trey's family and an old friend of mine here for the day from Phoenix. Hearing of his large CA LDS family's total support of Prop 8 (and unwillingness to even meet his wonderful partner of 5 years) made me all the more grateful for mine, yet still so sad for them...
LOL!! Love the one-armed pirate-father. (You're Papa, right? I keep forgetting)
I like the compromise, too. Compromise is a very important concept for kids (and parents) to learn!
Hahaha! I looked at the pictures before reading your commentary and I thought "Oh I didn't know he had lost his arm - they never talk about that on their blog spots". After I read your post and your comment about looking like you lost an arm I laughed out loud!!! My husband looked over at me like I was losing my mind. He can't get it why I love your blog so freaking much.
Well, armless or not, you have a beautiful family. Thanks so much for sharing.
Guy "Hearing of his large CA LDS family's total support of Prop 8 (and unwillingness to even meet his wonderful partner of 5 years) made me all the more grateful for mine, yet still so sad for them..."
Ouch, I don't know how some gay men and women do it. I know I'm lucky too and I made sure my parents knew how thankful I was on thanksgiving.
Java: "You're Papa, right?"
Yep, and if people ask my boys if they have two dads they'll get incredulous. To them, dads are totally different from Papas :-). For one, I make the best mac and cheese.
Hey there maybemaybenot. I love to know I've caused a laugh, and hey! Why can't your husband see why you like my blog!? ;-)
