THIRTY

 

Theo and I went through our photo albums this week. We found a photo of Matt around the same age playing for the same team name as Theo. Theo thought it was really special and asked we hang the photos up next to each other. 

2025 week thirty

This week was clearly the week of naps for me. Nap number one. 

Nap number two.

I woke up from nap number two with this signed taped to me. 

We brought Veronica a quill and ink set from DC. She figured out how to use it and has been annotating her summer reading (The Hobbit) with it now. She is the greatest. 

The makings of a beautiful summery pasta. 

It plated up gorgeously. And apparently the cowhorn pepper I used was "cross bread with pepper x" according to Theo and the pasta was basically inedible. We had to fry eggs to top the pasta in hopes that it would tone down the heat. 

Dramatic Pickles shot.

The energy Kip and Pickles bring to the function. 

Tell me you have a son... without telling me you have a son... Every animal is armed.

The Belgium cousins have returned. We wasted no time getting them over to play. Theo and O were so happy to see each other. 

Quotes:

Cousin- "Let's play navy!"
T- "OK!!! Wait. How do you even play that?"
Cousin- "You pretend you're in the navy!"
T- "OH RIGHT! LET'S GO!"

V- "I know it's gross and I shouldn't do it, and I always tell her to stop... But it just feels good when Kip's tongue licks down my ear."
Matt- "LOSE MY NUMBER!"

T- "WHOA! Look at that baby! It has blue eyes! That's crazy!"
Me- "People can have blue eyes."
T- "No way! I thought that was only in Dune!"
Me- "Most babies are born with blue eyes. Papa had blue eyes and now his eyes are grey."
T- "What?! I thought his eyes were brown. I thought everyone had brown eyes!"
