Late Nigh'topia

The boys and Katharine have been watching Barbie movies late at night.

I think it is some weird Covid ritual that they picked up and will be laughing about when they are reminiscing at my age.

Happy Birthday (and Fathers Day) to me

Foe someone who doesn't like the attention, having both Fathers Day and my birthday on the same day is a double whammy. But at least it gets it all over with all at once?

This might sound bizarre, but no matter how terrible this pandemic is, it has given me my best present in recent memory. I've been home with the family for almost three months now, and I have gotten more involved and closer to everyone in the process. I cherish this time with them, and I cherish them.

 

 

Flower Girl

Sophie likes to pose amongst the flowers when she is not trying to eat them..

There needs to be a better word for "puppet" to describe this..

Katharine is going to try some stop motion animation, and created this puppet. It has moveable joints so that she can put it in all kinds of poses. I can't wait to see it in motion.

 

Family Portraits

Wow, we are going to have a lot of people in the house today.

And knowing the Martels, that will likely include their two dogs. 

Hopefully we will not need to add Sophie to the RIP corner..

Bathroom Break

Sophie is pretty obsessed with toilets. 

 

Maybe she will become one of those cats that learns how to use them- not that I would want her to be using our toilets or anything..

 

Anyways, today she came bearing gifts, so I couldn't refuse to indulge her.
