TWENTY-TWO

Some proper carrots from our garden! 

2019 week twenty-two

Waiting in the dressing room before dress rehearsal with my ballet Bug. 

The silly goblin face she made when she saw me and Matt in the crowd.

We were really lucky Matt was able to come watch dress rehearsal so he could see this sweet girl on stage. She really loves ballet when it comes time to perform on stage with lights and make up. 

On the day of the actual recital we had some serious tornado warnings and had to interrupt naps to camp out in the bathroom for an hour. We were very lucky everything was fine. Theo had a tough time processing his fear/boredom combination, and camping in the bathroom with him was less than pleasant. 

She was so concerned I wouldn't have time to get her flowers. Boy was she happy when I had some after her performance.

Once recital was over her next request was for bangs. Immediately. She has spent the last five days fussing between loving them and hating them. Yeah, that pretty much sums up what it feels like to have bangs. 

We got all the onions in this week and after curing they get to hang up in silky stockings in the closet. Ooh la la. 

Theo finished his first lego set all on his own as a reward for handling long summer vacation days gracefully. 

Veronica spent a good hour doing Papa's hair with a. lot. of spray and brushing. 

The Peach Truck made a round to DFW and I picked up a 25 lb box. I see a lot of jam in my future. 

Quotes

Theodore

Angry at me for something, "Well... well... I hope your food gets COLD!"

T- Look Mama.
Me- Yep, I'm looking.
T- You have to look with your eyes this time.
He caught me...

"I just wish you would say I'm allowed to be crazy."

Veronica

V- "What if we took cat meat and put it in bread."
Me- "Ew."
V- "Why would that be gross?"
Me- "Do you think cat meat is good?"
V- "I don't know, I've never tried it... Would cat ribs be good?"
Me- "I don't think so."
V- "Well, human ribs taste good."
Me- "We don't eat human ribs!"
V- "Oh. I thought that's what ribs were..."
All this time she thought we were cannibals when it comes to barbecue...
