Yali is detailing zombie gore to me that morning pre-breakfast... he's already wearing a lovingly crafted war-torn costume and a yellow bandana rolled and tied around his forehead and he's ready for more of it...

Meanwhile little sister is ensconced in nail supplies and spicy chili Doritos and a soup mug of fruit punch watching “Pride & Prejudice”...

And big brother comes crashing out of his room... “I am terribly hungry!”...

Afternoon is Oxbear and Theodore talking over a small bonfire... slowly burning off that old rain-felled tree... as the dog bounds around the yard barking away neighborhood walkers and occasionally snoozing between rounds...

While Yali zooms in and out randomly dripping in fake blood... he and Oxbear made a new stash for the fridge Friday evening... smelling deeply of woodsmoke...

And Patience is still staked in front of the television maybe gawking a little over Colin Firth holding a very grumpy cat wrapped baby-style in a picnic blanket... possibly regretting her life choices a little according to her angry eyes...
