We need a bump back to the top, so here it is. :)

Hope everyone who celebrates has a lovely holiday weekend.

Mornin' 76th!

Hope everyone had a good Easter and got some shiny eggs from the big guy in the bunny suit.

Well, this was a depressing idea. My son saw the boxes of Easter candy this year. He didn't say anything and I had to make sure that I took all of the chocolate out of the boxes. It's the mature second grader in him that makes me think this Christmas may be the last "Santa Claus" Christmas for him.

Otherwise, we had a wonderful holiday. The kids were kept busy and excited and stuffed full of chocolate and sweets. They were properly spoiled and doted on by family members and are accordingly in horrible moods because of the return to our regularly scheduled boring old school days. LOL

Me? I just need some naps... I need a holiday from the kids' holidays!

Mornin' all! Hope everyone is well on this sunny and cool Hump Day.

*hugs Sister*

I am surprised I kept my kids fooled on Santa as long as I did Kaele. My son didn't confront me about it until he was 11. My stepdaughter found out when her teacher told her two years ago. Damn teacher!

Yeah, I used to work with a woman who taught 4th grade and made SURE all the kids knew about Santa. I always wondered who the hell she thought she was taking that decision from the parents.

Our younger one still has quite a few more years, so we're ok for a while. We've got some time before the magic of Christmas gets tarnished.

On a happier note, I just recieved my new smock coat from Tristan yesterday. It fits me almost perfectly, with a small exception in the arms. They're a little too big but I should be able to figure out a way to tack them down without ruining the lines of the smock. But, I've gotta tell you, it's almost like Tristan made this coat for ME rather than someone else... What are the chances of that?

All I'm missing for a complete Type B is the ranks, triangle patch and sleeves. I finished crocheting the one sleeve and I just need to finish the other and foil them. So I should be able to get it done by D*C, barring any complications. I may even have it ready by the time Shore Leave rolls around...

I definitely like the feel of the Type B. I don't feel like a kid in a grown-up's coat like I do in my greatcoat. Maybe because because the smock is a bit more form fitting than the other. The downside is there is no pockets and I would have to lug around a satchel everywhere I went. I do have pouches on my belt, but those can hold only so much.

Wow. New uniform coat, new gun. It'll be almost like a complete uniform change from last D*C!

((enjoys hug from Browncoat1)) Hah, the story about the Easter bunny brought up something from my childhood. I remember when my (4-years younger) sister was told the 'truth' - my mother said to her, "I am the Easter bunny." My sister's eyes got big, and round as saucers and she asked, "can I go with you this year?" believing that mom actually WAS the Easter bunny - she wanted to go along and help deliver baskets to all the kids!

Needless to say we blasted the teacher and the principal over it. No one has the right to take the magic of Christmas away from my child. The teacher was reprimanded over it. Hated to do it, but she sure had no trouble ruining Christmas for children.

How'd we get all the way down here?! Pulling this back up to the top, here.

G'morning with a nice hot cup o' coffee. Hope it's sunnier where you guys are, it's wet and dreary here.

*hugs for Sister* because you can't have too many. :)
