19 OCT 25

A cold and shiny rattling wind outside church glass of all colors... in the basement six tables of Bible study adults sit to play Lutheran distinctions Jeopardy! just for fun... **cough cough** nerds!... our table wins...

Meanwhile Yali is the only boy at Sunday School that morning where apparently one of the girls prays for him to stop being annoying... tell him you like him without telling him you like him...

Back home the piñata of projects continues with Oxbear teaching Patience how to stitch...

...and we keep finding more products around the house that Yali has cut the buckles off of for his costuming... this time it's a lunchbox...

Puck busts back from an overnight at J's to inspect the slingshots Oxbear has been sewing up... tests one out whipping it in circles around the living room... “I'm going to sling this orange at your car Mom!” as he walks out the door... // “Try the avocado instead... I think it's gone off”... too late...

And Oxbear loads up the kids and fishing poles again for a few more hours of hunting for bass and catfish in a maybe-or-maybe-not radioactive pond in the wildlife preserve...
