FORTY-FOUR

Theo and V took some photos of each other randomly.

2025 week forty-four

Very cool.

Matt has moved on to drywall updates in the house. If he stops moving/renovating he dies. 

Theo had a sick day this week. He sat by the window with his cat reading Harry Potter all day. 

Trunk or treat with the cousins. 

Theo has started The Babushkas at school. Some of the boys wear their sweaters on their heads and run away from the Babushka hunters (other kids with sticks) at recess. 

We painted and carved pumpkins with Grandpa this week. This was my pumpkin. 

Matt's, mine, Theos, and Veronica's pumpkins. 

Happy Halloween. V is a turkey, T just wanted to wear his gillie suit, and Matt and I are Tim and Wilson from Home Improvement. 

All the kids in the trick-or-treat group.

I went on a hunt for juniper berries for a duck recipe I wanted to try. After a few places I thought they would be, I found a tree absolutely covered with berries by the baseball fields. 

For Dia de los Muertos I made some Pan de Muerto. In case it didn't turn out, I also picked one up from a local Mexican bakery. 

Veronica painted some sugar skull faces. 

Theo and his cousin Claire sorted through the turkey feathers after we processed her today.

Since we decided to smoke the turkey, Matt had to go get more chickens because if he's going to start up the smoker, then he's going to fill up the smoker. 

Theo and V have been playing this game of their own invention all week.
