Two Turkeys Squared

This week I made shrimp tacos.

I also did some alpine skiing.

Conditions were snowy and tricky on Saturday.

A bit better on Sunday.

But there were only two lifts open, so it was really crowded both days.

If this is a turkey…

and this is a turkey.

How many turkeys are in this picture?

Ski Season is On

On Monday, there was no school, so we went mountain biking. Cold.

And then to the rock gym, where The Mother took no pictures. Then there was school, work, and putting the studs on the car in anticipation of some weather. And weather there was/is. The mountain opened the earliest it has opened since 1998 because they received 66 inches of snow already. I can’t downhill ski for another week (doctor’s orders) but I can cross-country ski.

Here I am dropping the Mother.

66 inches is a lot, but by the end of the year, I’ll be able to sit on this chair.

After skiing, I went to Jameson’s for a sleepover. Although, sleep maybe shouldn’t be included. We didn’t go to bed until 11 and were up at 6:30 am. We did a lot of marble run building.

When it was time for The Bigs to pick me up, J and I were not ready for the party to stop, so we went to the climbing gym.

Makerspace

I like to make things. I bought myself a loom and have been making lots of hats. I made one with glitter yarn (right pumpkin) for GG Marie.

And one with earth tones for The Mother.

Dad trimmed the trees this weekend, so I made a wreath with the clippings.

I am also working on a rocket. I made this one with items I salvaged from the recycling bin.

AND, I made shrimp ramen.

Nana – Fall ’24

This blog was written by Emmett (and then Mom added some things).

We made cookies for Halloween.

One night for dinner, I made brats and sauerkraut and dad made the broccoli.

For Halloween I was a cowboy. Here I am before school on Tuesday.

I never got to go trick or treating. I had a fever of 104 on Halloween night, so I had to stay in. I feel much better now.

I made a hat at school using a loom

It’s Alex Honnold, um that’s a little off, it’s just Emmet in the living room playing with ropes

We took Nana to dinner at Dear Mom.

Mocktail yum yum yum

Nana and I had Dad’s Garlic Shrimp.

Mom had Khao Soi: Northern Thai famous dish “Khao Soi” Egg Noodle in aromatic rich coconut curry broth, bean sprout, pickled mustard, raw shallot, crispy wonton, cilantro, and smoke garlic chili oil and lime

Dad had the Sukhothai Noodle: One of Thailand’s most savory noodles! Rice Noodle, house roasted pork, ground pork, crispy wonton, Bean sprout, pork crackling, roasted peanuts. green beans, dried shrimp and cilantro

The Bigs went to parent/teacher conferences. My teachers said I am doing a good job. I had to complete a self-assessment. All is good, but I am a little bored.

The next picture might be boring because you’ve all seen it except yaya, gum and the rest of you who haven’t yet come to Bend, so I will tell you – it is Peterson Rock Garden

Hats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nana and me

I hosted another world famous bar

and made Nana play pin the face on the pumpkin.

Today we went on a beautiful fall walk along the Deschutes.

Morning walk

Something Mom took a picture of

Me

Us.

I may not be able to run or jump, but I can still work upper body strength.

Everyone should try doing three finger pull-ups on rock rings
