FIFTY-ONE



During Theo and Matthew's date they stopped by Ace Hardware and the worker gave them this Traeger grills box which when turned inside out becomes a play fort. 

2020 week fifty-one

Karen update. She's not looking any better, but she's definitely growing back feathers. Poor bird chose to molt on the coldest week of the year. 



V loves spending her early school mornings in my classroom with me causing mischief. So I stuck a googly eye on her forehead. 

This silly creature has also decided she prefers to wear her hoodie backwards. 


One morning before school V tucked in her stuffed animals. Sometimes she's still so little. And sometimes she looks at me with really suspicious eyes when the tooth fairy forgot AGAIN to bring her money and take her tooth...

I got so much tea from my students. Best Christmas. 

I couldn't stop them (and didn't try hard to) from gathering around me to sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" before we said goodbye on the last day before Christmas Break. 

Friday night we went to see Santa at Bass Pro Shop. 

The glass between them didn't damper their Christmas spirit. 

No trip to Bass Pro Shop is complete without a visit to the shark. 

After Theo asked for arctic animals, we walked around Bass Pro Shop and he saw camo clothing and started crying because he wished he had asked for those instead. Luckily, Oma got him some instead. 


V dressed herself up as a knight to slay dragons (chickens). 

Cool cousins holding Funyun. 

We got dressed up all fancy to go watch several people from our school perform in the Nutcracker. 

The performance was at the Gaylord Texan. V kept saying, "Wow, this is like a palace. A Texas palace." 

Lucky cat got his own Santa cape. He's so grateful.

Matthew and the kids finished reading A Christmas Carol, so on Saturday morning they got to build the Christmas Carol Lego set.


Matthew also finished mounting his paper craft triceratops. 

It's constructed of cardstock, and glue from gluesticks. Over 100 hours went into assembling this intricate puzzle. We finally got it mounted.

At Bass Pro "*Sigh* This is the best place."

T- "Salem! Why did you do all of this?
Me- "I think you made this mess." 
T- "I would never make all of this chaos!"


Veronica
V- "Guess what I'm going to be today?"
Matt- "A girl with a good attitude?"
V- "Nope. A Pest."
T- "No! Not again!"

V-"Is it illegal to kill people?"
Matt- "Yes."
T- "Dang it!"
