Day 323: Saturday, January 30th
Work continues on the crazy hard puzzle. Asa took the outer rectangle part, while I worked on the inner circle.
Asa and I went out to run some errands, so we swung by Crumbl to pick up a little treat.
And while we were out, we noticed pop-up tents all along 54/56 for Bucs gear. Because, in case you missed it: THE BUCS ARE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL! And, by *going to* I mean, STAYING HOME. Because the Super Bowl is here in Tampa!
And more puzzle. Look how big my middle section is getting. After this, I had to move it into the puzzle, which was tricky.
That made it look like we had a lot more done.
Ta da! Plus, then we connected it in a few places.
And kept on working.
Day 324: Sunday, January 31
No football Sundays are always weird when they first come about. Asa and I made the best of it by taking our bike ride and having a picnic lunch.
Because Uncrustables taste like going out!
We stopped at a bench over in Connerton back behind the tunnel. It was nice and quiet (living in a house with 5 adults, a nearly 15 year old, 4 dogs and 2 cats during covid times is kind of loud).
We also happened along this guy.
Who was rather friendly.
Mom also made us some new masks- some Bucs ones!
And I practiced on making something special for the very special snackadium for the Super Bowl. Which isn't just the Bucs. It isn't just on Tampa. But, February 7th is also Hayden's birthday! This HAS to be the best Snackadium I've ever built.
Speaking of Hayden, here he is tucked in with Mayble. It's been pretty cold lately.
Also on Sunday, we finished the puzzle. Look at us! We actually took this one apart and are sending it back with mom when she goes to see Clint at the beginning of March (after she's had her second shot for a couple weeks, she's heading on back north.)
Ta da!
Welcome to February. Time to flip the calendar to the last month that has fun going out pictures from last year.
February's been a cold one so far, which does not make me and Ellie very happy for our morning walk.
Day 326: Tuesday, February 2
And you know, Super Bowl.
So every month I give Hayden a 'Free Day Pass' to take a mental health day away from school work. He's taken to using it the first of every month. But, that left me free to get some things done.
I worked on re-organizing my Hall of Presidents. I had gotten a few more of the floating book shelves, so I added those, dusted everything off and shifted things around.
I also worked on making Hayden's birthday pirate treasure map for his presents. Sometimes I wonder when he'll stop searching for presents via treasure map. And then I think, man, I'll be 40 this year, and I'd be totally cool with looking for my presents via treasure map.
And I worked on props for the snackadium. Which again, is going to be AMAZING.
And since I was busy with all of that, Peyton made us all beef bowls for dinner.
Day 326: Tuesday, February 2
Just five days until the Super Bowl.
But, also, welcome to the most Groundhogian of Groundhog days there ever was.
It was also Tuesday, which meant misfits box day!
Lots of goodies this time around, and a couple of add ons.
Peyton, meanwhile, has been walking the neighbors dog at lunch time. He came back with a giant papaya for his troubles.
Hayden, back at school work, had a new Tinkering Tuesday box to work on.
And he made an awesome hand puppet for his lesson.
We also brought back Chess Club. It's been gone for a bit.
And we read some more of 1984. We're not going to fast on this one. But, we did get to the part that gets quoted probably the most from this book: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
Also, you know it's a cold day if even Hayden is tucked under a blanket.
For real, it was cold.
Even the puppies were tucked in.
And then Dipper joined them.
Look at nooms in his sweater. In his old age, he whines when he is cold.
That's it from here. I'm mostly caught up. Wednesday we went out to Tampa to see all things Super Bowl, so I have a lot of pictures to put in the next blog for that. Hopefully I'll get that up soon.
