FORTY

My kids doodles, combined with the "witch detritus" on our nature shelf looks like some occult spellwork has been happening in our house lately. 

 2019 week forty

Theo has been adding more and more layers to his Fireman costume. Ignore me. I am not as graceful as I would have hoped while I'm coughing. 

Quotes

Theodore

Theo makes up poems all the time. Usually they are rather freeform and utilize a lot of repetition. Here's one of his poems that actually rhymed.
 "Do not eat your soup so much, you'll have a deep and special lunch."

Veronica

"I'm so good at making Theo feel better." 20 seconds later they're at each others throats. 

V got "in trouble" three times last week. She felt a bit of a mess. She's learning elementary school social lessons about what it means when you dare someone to do something (in this case cut their shirt with scissors...) or why you can't look at other kids papers during tests, or when everyone says you did do something, adamantly denying it doesn't get you very far... Poor bug. She ended up having a fever on Friday and missed casual Friday at school and was very disappointed. 

I guess I've been too busy to take too many photos, so here's a cute video of T and V playing with Matthew.

A couple months ago I suggested to Matt that he make a train Bingo to play with all his train buddies after hearing some of the insane things he sees on the morning commute.  Here's the October board. :)
