THIRTY-SEVEN

A drizzly morning bike ride to school.

2018 week thirty-seven

We have had so many sick days recently. Theo was sick for a full week and then Veronica. Now everyone has a cold and allergies! It feels very strange to be sick when it is still 95 degrees outside. 

You don't need to clean the grill, they said. That's overkill, they said. Hmmm...

My brother sent me this photo of me as a tiny little cowgirl. He was at a very "country themed" wedding. He said it was basically just a waterfall of Coors Light. I told him, "Oh, we actually have one of those..."

And it's a city landmark. Yeehaw.

Veronica brought home her book fair wish list. There were some classics on there...

A neighbor was discarding this lovely wooden glider chair. I was so happy to take it off their hands. Yay for recycling!

Quotes:

Veronica

V- "How was the Earth made?"
Me -launch into a long description of rocks colliding in space and growing in mass...
V- "No. How were planets made?"
Me -launch into same description but more abridged.
V- "No! Like TEXAS! How was TEXAS made?"

"I need a picture of Texas right now. I can't remember what it looks like and I need to draw it." five minutes later "Where do the red, white, and blue go on Texas?"

 Singing LOUDLY in the car "Oooooh I've got the wide world in my eeeeeeeeeyes!"

Theodore

Me- "What are you going to do when you're a Papa?"
T- "Play Nee Nee with my kids."
Me- "What will your wife do when she's a Mama?"
T - "Sing songs."
It is sweet to hear what is the most important thing a mama and papa can do in Theodore's opinion.
