FORTY-NINE

Giving Theo a Christmas tree unlocked something deep inside of him. He's been in full decoration mode ever since. 

2020 week forty-nine


V's Christmas shrine.

The kids got to help Grandma decorate her tree while Matt roasted pecans all day. 

Theo's Christmas workshop. His room is full of Christmas cheer and I'm trying not to let the mess upset me.

We decided to start Harry Potter with V. She and I have been reading a little bit of it every night. She has been satisfyingly surprised and shocked and excited at every turn. It has been such a pleasure to unlock this world for her. Once we finished reading the first book I told her she could read the next one on her own. She started literally as soon as we finished the first book. Yes, she is wearing a snow suit. Yes, it is 65 degrees today. 


Salem fell asleep in Matt's sweater. Heater cat. 

And then the toilets came in! After two long nights wrestling with broken bolts and strange angles, we finally have fresh working bathrooms. 

He's so proud of every new tablescape. 


 Quotes

Theodore

"I don't like Legos anymore. I just like decorating for Christmas."

Veronica

"Hmmmm. Can anyone smell that awful smell? Breathe in Mama, can you smell it?" Evil laughter... I did not breathe in her toot.
