FORTY-TWO

Texas State Fair with some cousins and Grandpa.

2025 week forty-two

Theo turned 10 this week and had a non-stop fun week. First was a nighttime scooter ride while Papa went on a run.

Then sushi for his birthday dinner! 

Funyun was extra cold one day this week and was acting weird, so I let him use me as a heating pad. At one point he turned himself into a necktie. 

We made plague posies in class this week. The kids wore them around their necks and sniffed them all day to ward off the plague. 

Our turkey is starting to act pretty turkey-ish. 

One of our first stops at the state fair was to see Theo's lego set on display. 

Matt needed to pose by the butter sculpture. 

We tried as many of the award winning food items as we could find, but honestly, nothing is better than a Fletchers Cornydog. 

Although, the pickle pizza was a pretty good contender. 

It was so fun to have some cousins with us to go on all the rides with. 

Bumper cars. 

The cousins had to leave early, and then we checked out all the animal barns. The kids needed to pet an emu because they know I am rather frightened by them. 

The poultry barn was the best part in my opinion.

Look at this fellows legs! 

On Saturday, Theo had his birthday party at Fritz' Adventure park. 

You can see Theo climbing through the grating and V climbing up the back wall. 

It was three hours of my heart stopping as they climbed around the ceiling. 

Theo on the top platform. 

V scaling the walls. 

In-N-Out afterward made the perfect end. 

V trying to extract DNA from tomatoes after she learned to do this at school.

Quotes

Theo -"What? We were just saying '6 7' in Latin!" how you know you go to a classical school but you're also a preteen gen alpha.

Me trying to read halloween books with Theo, Theo- "Where's Heck-of-a-Peg?" He meant "Heckedy Peg."
