THIRTY-FOUR

Theodore has reached a really compatible playmate age for Veronica. Stumbling upon them quietly and happily playing together is a fulfilling little pleasure.

2017 week thirty-four

My backyard under the eclipse. Notice the leaves' shadows. 

Because of the hurricane on the coast it's felt like a tropical jungle at our house. The kids spend so much more time outside when there are mud puddles and dirt to thrash around in. I've all but given up trying to keep up with the dirt and sand that's in every crack of floorboard and meshed to their scalps. 

To Do: Eat Breakfast. Disrobe. Busily work transporting water and sand around the yard.

At a friends birthday party you can never be too fancy. 

Even when you lose a fingernail, your polish game needs to be on point. 
Quotes:

"Theodore, do you want to be Moana and I can be Elena? Mom we're making a Disney channel. Do you know what a Disney channel is? It's where a girl and a boy choose the people they want to be and they sing all the songs. Kids just like to make Disney channels."

V- "May I sniff your book?"
Me -"If you must."
V -"Hmm. Your book smells a little difficult."

"NOOOOO! NOOOO! AHHHHHHH! NOOOOOO!" -Vera trying to escape Matthew torturing her with his bad morning breath. 

"I am NOTHING!" -Vera angry that she had to let Theodore take a turn sitting on my lap while we watched our Sunday animal documentary. This is a big deal (or at least she thinks so) because the entire time we watch an animal documentary she tells us on repeat which new animal she is going to be. "I'm going to be a cheetah,ok?" "I'm going to be a mama deer, ok?" 

Vera- "Theodore I'm going to be laying on you if you don't move."
Theo- "No!" and he doesn't move
