Argh, tighten the rigging mates...

Lorien wants to go to Hawaii and Wyatt wants to go to Disneyland. We've been talking a lot about saving our money so we can make it to one or both of these fantastic destinations. Today, Wyatt and I were having another money talk. He helped me put the clean dishes away so I gave him a quarter. "Do we have enough to go to Hawaii now?" he asked. "Not yet, remember, we have to save for a long time to buy enough plane tickets for the whole family." This was followed by more discussion of other ways to save money and a long pause from Wyatt. A minute later he said "Momma, if we are going to be rich, we are going to have to be pirates."
"I think you are right but first we'll need a boat."
"Like one from Daddy's office?"
"Yep, that would work."
Will's office is next to a marina where lots of sail boats are moored for the winter. So I guess piracy is the next logical step to our future success. I'll keep you posted on our progress.

Harlan says if you guys are going to become pirates, then you should look into the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster". http://www.venganza.org
