FORTY-SIX

It was cold for about one day. I got to wear my new coat that I found at the thrift store. It was good quality wool but absolutely massive. Luckily I had watched a video last summer about tailoring jackets. I took each shoulder in about 2 inches and the three back seams a further inch or so. It's still over sized but it looks intentional and not like I stole a very tall mans coat. 

2025 week forty-six

I found a number of photos like this on my phone. I'm so pleased when I find evidence of their friendships. 

We went camping (or rather tried to) this weekend. V was so intrigued by the tiny little spiders she just had to take photos of them. We ended up not sleeping there because after a day of hiking with his den, Theo ended up with a migraine and threw up right after dinner. So we packed up the tent in the dark and headed home. 

Breakfast with Zorro. 

Early in the summer I planted a sweet potato that started to sprout in my cupboard. Once the leaves had wilted I dug it all up and got about 6 pounds of sweet potatoes. It was very exciting.

Matt and the kids built a magical dragon gingerbread house. 

And Theo loves to ruin every photo.
