Lots of Ideas

If you owned a pizzeria, what would you name it?

Elias: pizza Yum

Augustine: pizza from the past

Lewis: men in black pizza 

———

Elias: a day a week and a year. The year has 42 days in it. A week has seven days in it. A year has 4200 days in it.

Me: that’s what 2020 felt like.

Elias: when I grow up I would be a lawn service worker. Or I would be a peanut butter factory worker.

Me: what would be the best part about being a peanut butter factory worker?

Elias: that you could snitch the peanut butter.

Me: what would be the best part of being a lawn service worker?

Elias: that you could go outside and get fresh air while you mow.

House Projects

Our 90 year old house is getting some much needed repairs. 
It was a thing 90 years ago to build your basement walls with cinder block, except for the last two feet of the wall were built with wood. Because that makes sense when it is right at ground level and can be destroyed by weather and is less strong than concrete. We had to replace those two feet on entire south side of the house.







These kind of projects are what Frat house dreams are made of. The boys watched all day long. 



Then the internet guys showed up to dig a trench for our wire. More dreams fulfilled. 

The guys were super nice to the boys and let them watch every step. 

The coolest part was watching them drill under the sidewalk and run the wire through. 

Now on to beams and plates in the basement walls. Then a fun project...new front deck!

Barely a Pinterest Win

When I’m making dinner the best way to occupy Levi is by giving him a bowl of bubbles. I decided to try making bubble foam because Pinterest said it would be fun. Pinterest said to whisk water and dish soap in my mixer for one minute. It took close to 7 minutes, and I had to shake the whole mixer to get the mixture to hit the whisk. 

Pinterest was right. He did have a ton of fun. 

He loved holding it in his hands. He got mad when I offered him a spoon. My mistake. 

He also had lots of fun cleaning my cupboards finger painting with it. 

Bros

The boys make sensory retreats all the time and don’t even realize it. We call this one crash pad kayak. 



Logan took the big boys on their longest bike ride to date...all the way to Devaney with plenty of fun stops along the way. 

Grandma Susan decided to be super fun and order all the cousins light sabers! We’re looking forward to a masked Jedi convention with the cousins in the backyard!

He’s Always Busy

Studying Famous Artists

We’ve been studying famous artists and trying simplified versions of their techniques (with the exception of blowing glass...plastic straws will have to do.). Can you guess who we’ve been studying?

Numbers

Elias: mom how many of these things (loops) are there on the rug?

Me: I’ve never counted them I don’t know.

{some time passes, he’s still looking at the rug}

Me: so did you count them all?

Elias: no. There’s way too many to count. But I think there’s somewhere in the 52s or the 62s.

Me: that could be.

Elias: maybe it’s in the 152s. Is there such a thing as 152s?

Me: totally.
