Wow! What an awesome surprise! Due to our sudden little 'troupe' of pirates, we have decided to abandon house hunting and instead buy a ship. This way the kids will feel more at home. (it will also save our potential neighbors from any sort of unwanted pirating behaviour). We have allowed Captian Blackblood to have most of the responsibility of the crew and he was very eager to teach believe it or not. He and Sonya make quite the pair. However, now as the task of watching the little ones has passed to me and my husband, they seem to be enjoying themselves more. The Cutter, Scaliwag and Avenging Jill love running all over their new home. Climing in the rigging and practicing their sword play (in designated areas only), they love it. Sometimes I'll wake up with one of them on my bed looking down at me, thats when we stay up late into the morning talking. Slowly, they all are beginning to trust us. As a rule, for at least two hours everyday, Lennie and Aron teach some sort of educational subject. Even tough Captain Blackblood and his bonny lass Sonya are required to attend. There were large objections at first, but now they actually seem to enjoy these times. Lennie and Aron love to teach and in return, they are learning sword play and pirateering. Little Black Pearl was hard to understand at first, she was so attached to her brother. But as he got more and more into sailing his new home, she opened up to me. She is very girly and lets me make her dresses for her dollies. She loves playing with our fairies. Amythest and Ivory have had tons of fun finding all the hidey holes in our ship. Hide and seek is their favorite game to play. Amy seems to be more naughty while Ivory can be more lazy. Finally, Kyler; Kyler felt a little at odds when we all moved in. He didn't quite fit in with the others. However, with time Captain Blackblood saw his potential and allowed him in. He still holds to his Jedi ways although he is now a full fledged pirate. All the original 'non-pirate' boys were required to shave half of their heads in order to become pirates. I guess it could have been worse. Captain Blackblood oversaw it all and now, we are all pirates!

If your agency has more stray fairies, even boys, we would love to take them in, we have plenty of room. And it still is a secret wish of mine to have some hobbits, I think their happiness would bring alot to our little clan. And, maybe another little girl around Pearla's age would help her be a little more girly (I really think she wants to).

Thank you so much!
