Life Adventures for Miles

Today while Luna made a mess of the living room (again) and frequently curled up with her blankets to watch the big screen, I found myself deep diving into LOTR territory after listening to some LOTR/Hobbit music.  I also found myself trying to create "popcorn" crochet stiches with the yarn luna used to practice her cutting skills. I figured I could somehow attach it to the side of a blanket in which the sides were too short to properly secure.  The channel I found that has the lore and myth and theories of Tolkien's work is aptly named Nerd of the Rings . Have I posted about this channel before? He has full playlists dedicated to each era (first, second and third) and most of the main pivotal characters. Some of my favorite videos are the theory videos and of course, being the bookworm I am, the readings and review/reaction/discussion videos! I have been reading or retreading "chosen one" trope books lately and was curious about Tolkien and his exploration. Thi

  Yay me! As it was the first of the month I did our monthly bedding change (also our weeks of laundry), dishes, trash, and puck g messes from a Luna Belle. It was happily fairly quiet. We also did the normal screens, play, and books. The main adventure was Luna decided this day was a good day to practice her workbook and her cutting (lots and lots of my yarn and paper). As I agreed with myself that the workbooks were for her to do, the...trials of her doing the work(ie, me only doing the show and tell or hand over hand) came and went throughout the day and this adventure. To end this day, my husband brought home Popeyes and we had more cake. Yum!

We have a birthday coming up tomorrow (me) so today when all are here and home, we decided to make birthday brownies! Yum yum! Triple chocolate fudge brownies that I think have chocolate chips in them. Even more yum! Luna had a blast putting all the ingredients together  (eggs, fudge box mix, brownie box mix, water, and vegetable oil) though she backed away from the sound of the mixer. We were also the lucky ones to lick the tools/ bowl after the mixing and pouring wax was done, I loved doing that as a kid.. then we decorated with lemon icing and sprinkles! Also on another, we noted that the Winnie the Pooh jack in the box has officially broken. I've had it for a long time but with a 4-year-old, I am surprised it lasted this long, heh. Brownie Instructions: 1) Combined the brownie mix and fudge pouch mix with vegetable oil, egg, and water 2) Mix until blended (consistency of goop) 3) Preheat oven for 325 F and cook for 40-50 minutes until consistency has a cakeish moist/spring to
