food, crochet, merriment
While listening to a session of Conference these two sweethearts called from Paris! Holy smokes–the Eifel Tower to be exact.
It was choppy.
It was fuzzy.
It was a little hard to hear.
But mostly, it was glorious and waaaay too short!
Travel safely my loves and come home soon!
love, love, love…
…mom to you. Heh, heh.
A few years back, my son played a game called Hollow Knight. He would play, I would read or crochet or work on a puzzle.
What I didn’t actually want to do very often was to…look up. The game gave me the creeps. Not for any violent or evil thing going on. It was actually pretty tame in that way.
But the music was sad and creepy and there were a lot of bugs. Tons of worms and centipedes and assorted crawly things–many much bigger than I was comfortable with. Perhaps I haven’t shared with you how I feel about bugs.
Perhaps I have.
Barf-o-rama.
ANYway, the hero of this game was a little white rabbitty looking dude with a sword that I was ok with. Rhen loved the game so much that out of the blue, I decided to make him this little fella.
Quite pleased with myself if I’m honest.
That is, until my son thanked me for making Knight… the big, white…
beetle.
*gag*
Note: This pattern was created by Datpilz on Etsy.
For the former Bald Kid’s birthday, he wanted to do something particularly tough and manly. So he asked that every able and willing soul in our family do the Mud Run with him. It helped a ton that this event actually took place on his birthday. Slightly providential, I’d say.
All those brave folks converged on Soldier Hollow and ran through a bunch of muddy obstacles. Apparently you could get slightly muddy or terrifically muddy–depending on your particular vigor and/or love of or aversion to…ahem…mud.
Jillian and I sat this happy event out under a lovely canopy under the guise of taking care of the younger kids that couldn’t join in. Phew!
As you can see–if you wanted to stay crisp and clean–we were the lucky ones.
If you wanted to have a memorable, hilarious bonding experience–then we missed out on most of that. But we were there and were able to take the pictures that the muddy buddies couldn’t.
Happy Birthday Rhen. If you didn’t already know–then there can be no question– you are SO loved.
This girl…
is pretty darn crazy…
about…
this guy.
I believe the feeling is mutual.
So I know this guy who is pretty dang happy…
to have been selected–along with his sister, Jillian–as an extra…
in….
the CHOSEN!!!
He was so happy, in fact, that while trying on the basic costume, he got deeply into character–SOME kind of character anyway–and graced us with a happy dance…of sorts.
Now, I wasn’t about to stop him for a lot of reasons.
One being that I was thrilled for him too.
The second is that he was dang fun to watch.
And the third reason is…
we need rain.
Love you Rhenny!!
BAhahaha!
