I hope everyone is having a kind and beautiful day and that you’re able to have the appropriate ratio of fun and relaxation over the weekend.

I’d like for one of the Sarah’s to be a Sara though.
(Bonus points for a Sera too).

I’d listen.

Fun at the pumpkin patch over the weekend.

In Toad's imagination, Frog is stuck in the bottom of a deep dark hole. From "Christmas Eve" In *Frog and Toad All Year*

“What if something terrible has happened?” said Toad. “What if Frog has fallen into a deep hole and cannot get out. I will never see him again!”

Marie is on a field trip today and the pictures are starting to come in 💙💫

Toad hides under his covers and Frog hides in the closet. From "Dragons and Giants" In *Frog and Toad Together*

Toad stayed in the bed, and Frog stayed in the closet.

They stayed there for a long time, just feeling very brave together.

I didn’t weekend well enough this weekend so I’m going to try and inject an hour or so of weekend each day until next weekend in hopes of catching up.

I hope all of your weekend levels were sufficient.

Cat water tech

We got one of the moving water cat water things (74 oz size). It’s been a few days. One of the cats enjoys it. One of the cats would rather beg for toilet water. The other cat is drinking it a tiny bit here and there.

The one that enjoys it especially enjoys running his paws under the faucet part.

Dahlia Marie hard at work making Barbie size dresses

So hard at work.

Need to get her some fabric scissors and a few pattern books soon.
She’s going to use her brothers abandoned school project tri fold poster board and turn it into a runway.

Wondering how I can I make her little lights.

If you ever see any science about it would you send it my way? It’s something I wish I understood better

Austyn, Max, and Marie all dream differently than me so my data is pretty limited . I’ve googled a moderate amount but recognized I don’t understand the material well enough to conclude anything.
I hope it’s not bad that I do feel a little better knowing the dreams come quick for you too!!

While it takes me a long time to fall asleep, I dream very quickly: I’ve never heard anyone else say they dream during an hour long nap. My dreams come so quick. It doesn’t seem quite right.
Hoping it’s just a feels like it’s just me thing and other people are experiencing the same.

Do any of you know about sleep and more specifically, dreaming (not dream interpretation but the science of sleep states and when we dream)?

I am curious how long it is supposed to take to begin dreaming (not how long it takes to fall asleep).

I hate to say it but I’d rather they blame Tylenol than learn the truth about how we multiply. I don’t like the idea of what happens if they realize it’s us having sex. I don’t think their “solutions” for that would be good.

My queue of activities today has taken a turn. Clothes washing machine is giving me error messages that I’m not familiar with (to be fair I’m only familiar with the suds error).

If one of you enjoy hunting for fun planets in no man’s sky, please do a little of that for me.

Woke up to find Marie already awake and hard at work making little dresses.

Wish I could bottle the feeling it gives me to see her so engaged with her interests. It’s a good feeling even if I can’t name it.

Dress designs

Dress designs

Marie’s fashion designer (for Barbie size) has come and these are some of her first mock ups. She’s still working on them. It’s important to her that you know they aren’t done.

Squirrel on tree branch

They threw a nut at me. I don’t know if it’s a war nut or a sharing nut but I said thank you.

I hope it goes smoothly and kindly and that everyone gives you a resounding “POP POP!” when you triumphantly defeat your surgery.

Have ordered a Barbie sized dress making kit for Marie. Hoping her monster high and lady bug people fit right - seems like they should. They’re just about Barbie size.

Did you all know there SEVEN different types of dresses with their own sub types at that?!

Hoping this video will tell me if there is a dominant type or a dominant type through the ages. Fashion is fascinating.

Absolutely beautiful!!! You did so good!!!! I bet you made their heart gears get wonky with joy and happies 💙
