felix had a butterfly rehearsal, and then we borrowed a car, picked him up as a family and took him to our friend ronja's picture perfect birthday picnic on the hill.
while the kids make bows and arrows and cook food over a fire, brian and i go mushroom hunting unprepared, coming back with legwarmers (we had no bag) filled with black trumpet mushrooms. the first i've ever found. we got back, grilled our own dinner, and sat around the campfire, as news came in that the next lockdown is starting this week.
another fiery sunset |
when we got home we still found a way to cut a jack-o-lantern (that brian had gotten for 2 euros, very strange)... everyone drew something they wanted to have cut, and then i raced them, pajama putting on vs. me carving the pumpkin. i won. centa helped with the scooping of the seeds and the slimy stuff. then we took the fresh-carved jack-o-lantern outside and sang the canon "have you seen the ghost of tom" in our garden beneath the full (blue) moon.
felt very late at night, but it wasn't that late... we thought it would be nice to have a movie night, and sean connory died, so we chose that moment to watch my first james bond film..... goldfinger is very strange (and pretty stupid haha), and very long so we were up very late, and it didn't just feel that way.
