Good morning and Happy Saturday! May the Fourth be With You this Star Wars Day.
Also, today my oldest turns 15 years old. 15 years ago, my wife was on her fourth week of hospitalized bed rest and I was training the person who would fill in for me on paternity leave. I got the call and rushed to the hospital. 10 weeks early, my oldest was born via an emergent C-section.
15 years later, here I am with this snarky, smart, creative, and empathetic kid. And I'm about to take them and 4 of their friends to the zoo.
Skill wise, obviously I'm taking some ranks in Patience. I've got 4 kids with one teenager (and this summer a second one), so of course need more of that. Also, a few ranks in Dad Joke, since I take that every level.
I took Dual Wielding years ago, but I do get another feat this level. I think I may take the Truth Seeker feat, to make sure I get a bonus on my rolls at figuring out what my kids are doing and/or plotting.
In quite the deft maneuver, the trio of elves yesterday first got the #ChristmasTree into the house during the day, somehow. Then they laid out some of the lights in strings to connect our light in the center of the room to the tree in some kind of shelf elf zipline.
Those elves are just wild.
Our youngest two really found this funny when they got home from school. Having to solo put up the tree on my lunch break was worth it for that alone.
As many of y'all know, I'm a Dad with a small gaggle of kids. Well, it's closing in on #Christmas and we have a trio of Elves on Shelves.
Last night, the three of them decided to make photocopies of their faces. They needed one on top to man the equipment and keep the top down. Looks like it worked and they happened to get two copies made of their faces.
