Fatherhood

Kia, who will send her little sister to investigate strange noises from a dark room, is apparently able to calmly face down an alien monster, so long as she has her helmet.  Maybe even a parasitic alien horde is afraid of a dental bill.  Regardless, they’re both having a lot of fun with the helmets.  They’re constantly asking to turn off the lights so that they can look for stuff in the dark, be it aliens, treasure, toys, or just the floor of their room (which is often the hardest thing to find).  Also, Aunt Laurie will be happy to hear that I’ve been blinded by those damned lights blasting me in the face at point-blank range more times than I can count.

I’m wearing my Planet of the Apes shirt, which is painfully accurate in saying that this is a madhouse,  while Stacy’s wearing her Celtic knotwork Tree of Life shirt, which you can just barely see a part of.  Kia’s wearing a fairly basic lavender shirt, with butterflies on the hem which you can’t see here, and Arwyn’s shirt has some crazy talk about how well sisters get along; I’m pretty sure that shirt was given to her as a statement of irony.  Oh, and for those wondering, Arwyn’s sitting on Stacy’s lap; she’s not THAT tall.  Yet.
