Dad and Sam made convection oven tofu and pasta... Didn't come out that great. Our conversation went all over the place tonight - from misheard words to ...well... To tell the truth i don't remember. I forgot to take notes on what we talked about this week...

Eli and Dad made Hamburger Helper. We started off by hearing about Sam's fascination with fan fiction. Dad had an interview for his band and brought one of the questions to the table - what two songs would you take to a desert island. We also had some News From the Farm. Enjoy!

The kids had their first day back at school. Neurodivergents will know, that this can bring up complicated feelings - excitement about seeing friends, but difficulty with the change in routine. Both came home with headaches. Sam blamed their anxiety, and Eli blamed auditory sensory overload and wore headphones at the dinner table. It was a tough dinner, but very real.

Sam is back! Yay! Dad and Eli made pasta and Air Fried chicken nuggets. We all volunteered at the animal sanctuary that Mom works for, on Saturday, so we talked about that a lot.

Sam is still away... And we talk about how we notice that. Dad made pasta and black beans because he was exhausted. We talk a little bit about politics and we talk a lot about our neighbors playing Corn Hole. Yes... We're a little nosey... In a fun way, we think. 😁

Sam has left us! They are on their way to spending a week with their friend. So, this is what it's like with just the three of us... A little quieter ..

Mom made pancakes for dinner. No news from the farm today, because Mom doesn't work there on Tuesdays. We discussed Mom's mouth, the stinky car, how a gerbil drinks and Sam wondered if one of our former neighbors is okay.

Sam and Eli made hot dogs for us. It seems we have a new segment - News From The Farm, where Mom tells about the animals at her work. We also talked about when we would have our "Bacon Weekend", Sam's moth story and that no one is listening to each other tonight!

Mom cooked Udon noodles with a peanut sauce and roasted tofu and broccoli. We talked about Eli and Sam as babies, visit colleges, and Mom's stories about how she got into community college.

Kids cooked Tortellini for them and gnocchi for dad. Topics discussed included Sam getting their license, Eli's stim (blowing on his fingers), and Sam being a natural with kids (to their dismay). Enjoy!
