D'Arcy Developments

There was a spate of slightly bored dressing up yesterday afternoon, and this was the result. On the left of the photo you can see the corner of a book on the table. The book has a picture of Yuri Gagarin, on which this costume was modelled, and you can see a close-up of the book in the nexxt photo in the Flickr stream. The Beloved is returned from the US, so there's a game of checkers in progress, and D'Arcy is thrashing him. We're planning on moving furniture around today and setting up the Christmas tree, so a weekend of painful domesticity all round really.

On another note, we've instituted a 'swear jar' in the house, to which D is the main contributor so far, but only in the form of IOUs. D'Arcy announced that when the jar is full "and we've all learned our lesson, then Mummy can keep the money". Cool.
