The weather was surprisingly warm this afternoon when we walked outside. I was a bit worried that the Ninja Turtle that I was accompanying would get too hot and try to strip out of his turtle outfit in public, but thankfully when we arrived at the trunk or treat event we decided to attend, he forgot about his costume.

Our family time the past couple of weeks has been limited. It’s not that we don’t spend time together, it’s just that most of that time is in the classroom and we desperately needed a few hours to forget about editing and wood finishing and school and just be us. Or at least a version of us that walks around with a miniature Ninja Turtle, Venom, and a Unicorn-Butterfly-Princess.
