Crumbling up ramen noodles and toasting them at ChatGPTs suggestion... (8/2/24)
|
|
...before folding them into dark chocolate. (8/2/24)
|
 |
The
last time we did this in 2001, the kids were -6 and -12. Also, it
didn't turn out nearly as well because we cooked the noodles and used
the chocolate as a sauce. (8/2/24)
|

Putting a bell on their bike. (8/3/24)
|
 |  |

"You can skate, you can jive, having the time of your life..." (8/11/24)
|
|
As we drove six hours, we listened to spooky,
Halloween-themed albums and brain-stormed the ghost stories we planned
to write. (8/14/24)
|
 |  |
Camping out in a fort at Grand-Janet's and watching Young Sheldon. (8/14/24)
|
 |
This place does indeed look haunted. (8/14/24)
|
 |
Hanging out with Rocky, the cat who has signs all over Hot Lake Hotel saying not to let him inside. (8/14/24)
|

Staying out of the lake and instead writing in lovely coffee shops and watching Edward Scissorhands in a weird little theater inside the hotel. (8/14/24)

|
 |
For my birthday, we invented a name called Cornobble-tron. (8/19/24)
|
 |
It involves throwing plastic fish and a glowing frisbee over a net. (8/19/24)
|
 |
One of the fish got caught in the net. This is probably worth many points. (8/19/24)
|
 |
Taking Piper for a walk in her new spaceship. (8/22/24)
|
 |
Piper needs lots of stimulation. (8/22/24)
|
 |  |
Pleading for a kitten or two. In direct opposition to Piper's wishes. (8/24/24)
|
 |  |
Mixing up a chocolate cake from the Stardew Valley cookbook. (8/24/24)
|
 |
Cornobble-tron
was amusing, but it turns out that there may be a reason people are
more likely to play, say, badminton than to just throw plastic fish
back and forth. (8/25/24)
|
 |
Though, when you play at our elite level, a lot of badminton is taking turns trying to serve. (8/25/24)
|
 |
Just getting the birdie over the net is a win. (8/25/24)
|
 |
Though getting it stuck in the net is still the biggest win. (8/25/24)
|
 |
Or maybe, getting ourselves outside at sunset to play a game in the Teddy Bear Garden is the biggest win. (8/25/24)
|
 |  |
A cake fit to feed all of Stardew Valley. (8/25/24)
|
 |
Stealing pearls from a King Murgle-urgle the Pearl Pilferer. (8/27/24)

First,
we cut off most of the hair, but left the bangs. Then a couple
days later, we're cutting off the bangs too. (8/27/24)
