Kay -

don't you read the pirate thread in this section??  Shame on you.  I know why Deb is blue, but I'll let you head over to that thread and read it for yourself.

Deb -

you look smashing!  And, I wouldn't mind a bit if the blue didn't wear off before the symposium in Cincinnati  ;)  I think it would be very interesting to see the reactions you get  :D

Thanks for the pictures.  Do we get any of Dr. Love?

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

Me and the ever-adorable Dr. Love, who crafted the ears and the tails.  A PhD in art ed and this is what he is doing in his retirement.  I am so lucky!

Wow, I'd heard it was cold down in your part of the country, but I had no idea it was THAT cold!  Your lips look a little blue - better head indoors!

Always nice to be able to put all those years of higher education to good use!   :D

Oh yeah!  I was in the bathroom for a great deal of the party painting 28  little faces with Avatar War Paint.  The funnest was Hayden, my grandscallywag who is 4.  I had to sit him on the potty and squat down to paint him, he is so small.  Most of the kids kept wiggling around trying to see themselves in the mirror and laughing.  Hayden sat there with his face perfectly tilted,  with the most serious look you can imagine on his cute little face, and didn't move a muscle the whole time. I think it was his first face-paint, and now I'm sure it won't be his last!

Capt Deb

BTW, the new pointy left ear won't hear for squat, so I don't think I'll be putting BAHA out of business any time soon.

Anything for you, Steve dear!  I'll bring the blue paint and an extra set of ears just for you!! You'll have to bring your own loincloth, though.  Sorry.

I think your Dr's did a poor job of administering your Botox, I think you should demand your money back...
