i slept outside in the treehouse. because i wanted to. for the experience. with a mosquito net, so i didn’t get eaten alive at night.

^ i slept outside although there was predicted thunderstorms. that didn’t happen.

^ all my stuff. and my foot. fabulous book: hope was here by joan bauer, peach for breakfast, walkie talkie although it meant connection to the world outside because mom insisted, glasses case, extra battery for dad’s macho flashlight, dad’s macho flashlight, duct tape flipflops, mosquito net.

< is this too weird of an angle? i rotated a pano.

^ all my stuff.

^ clara brought me a muffin for breakfast. after mom told her too. first, she came out with a muffin and was talking to me through the window. but she wouldn’t give me the muffin, she just came out to tempt me, and, in her words, to make me come inside.

^ these pants used to be… pants. like, down to the ankle pants. that must have been long ago.

^ breakfast: cereal, cantaloupe, and brown cow yogurt.

^ breakfast number 2: eggs.

^ baby quilt for a friend

^ made while babysitting: gingerbread cookies, with [homemade!] vanilla icing, and eyes.

^ they came in from the pool to decorate the cookies. first they iced them, then the icing had to harden. and they were watching it harden. then they painted them with edible watercolor icing.

^ one of hudson’s crazy ideas… the pool was too cold, so he filled up this bowl with water, and was trying to make the pool warmer.
