bloodsong1'Twas the Prince's 4th birthday party. A grand time was had by the kids. I suffered my usual depression when I'm at Bermania with people I don't know very well. It's so easy to miss Wolf there.
I did have one good moment. We had been trying to encourage all the kiddos to play with water balls (spongy balls you soak, more durable then water balloons and more reliable on impact), but no one was really interested. So when His Royal Highness started acting bored, I took him over to the porch where the balls were soaking, told him to be quiet so we could sneak up on the others, and armed both of us. We managed to sneak pretty darned close, as the others were watching Babe the Tortoise.
"BANZAI!" I yelled, lobbing my ball and catching IDK right on the shoulder. I then hiked up my skirt and high-tailed it back to the deck, a water-safe zone, calling out "Let me in! I'm being attacked!" in between my giggles and being chased by IDK. I made it with about two seconds to spare. The kids then proceeded to pelt each other for about half an hour. Good Times.
I fully expect to get clobbered with something wet at some point this week.
