TWENTY-SEVEN

Childhood.

 2018 week twenty-seven

Family night at the Library. We went to see a sweet musical magic show. The man's voice was exactly like Tom Hanks. The kids really enjoyed the show.

Theodore requested doing a craft with me. He decided he wanted to make a pillow for his possum.

Then V wanted to make a huge rice-filled pillow. She got to pick the fancy stitches along the hem too. 

4th of July bike parade!

And hot dogs in the grass.

We had as many people over as we could "comfortably" seat (that number is 21 by the way.) for our annual pork ribs feast.

Morning jaunt to the grocery store. They always beg to ride on this, but who carries quarters? Why don't these machines take cards yet? 

Theo got his first professional hair cut. 

So handsome and silly. 

Too cool for just one sucker. 

At the park. 

At a different library making homemade ice cream.

They loved it even though the bag was semi permeable and the vanilla was a bit salty...

Friday night V and Theo spent the night with Grandparents while Matt and I went to see a Shakespeare in the park. We saw The Taming of the Shrew. V got to go watch her cousin in a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory play. 

And then ice cream at Chick-fil-A for lunch the next day. 

This girl loves her Chick-fil-A. 

The workers let them make their own ice cream cones. Very sweet.

A fledgling Blue Jay crashed into our window and Luna started freaking out. She got herself caught in the blinds in her mad attempt to get the bird. She kept yowling and swiping at the windows. We didn't dare go outside and try to help the poor thing because his parents were hovering and squawking very near by. I wouldn't like to be dive bombed by a Blue Jay. Hopefully it got back to where it needed to be before the neighborhood cat Roscoe got to him. 

Quotes

Veronica

"They just kept shutting me out. JUST like Elsa!" on playing with her cousins who weren't interested in letting her dictate the entire game.

"And that's how I learned that magical lesson!"

Theodore

He learned how to properly say Veronica and we're all sad because his squeaky little "Caca" or "Roaca" were so cute.

"IF I had that and you tried to take it from me I would GRAB TAKE it away from you!" He's been really into threatening people lately... so cute...

Jokes of the Month

Matthew wanted me to instate a Jokes of the Month section to this blog so I could showcase how hilarious he is. :)

He was messing around on the Xbox and saw a place where you could design your own color scheme for the controller.
Matthew- "What is the ugliest controller design you could make?"
Me- "Your face." Not the cleverest but it made him laugh really hard and he said it needed to be included this month.

We were playing a card game and one of the objects was to build a monster with a head, body, and accessories.
Cousin - "Jesus Christ, why can't I get a body?"
Matthew- "#Lucifer"
This one was very quick and set us all laughing very hard. The layers of funny were too much for us.
