This Weekend

Ok. Weekend recap here we go!

I kicked off Saturday with a trip to the Chocolate Festival in Harvard Square with Texas.

Me in line for chocolate.

Texas and I ready for chocolate.

Free chocolate!

Then when I was about to head home, a friend gave me hats that his grandmother had knitted for the kid housemates. She visited my friend a while ago and we hit it off pretty quickly. She told me then that she might knit hats for my kid housemates but I wasn't actually expecting her to go through with it. The hats are great and when I got home, I made the kids sit in one place so I could get a picture of them all.

The hats.

Primo, Terzo, Secondo, and Mini T in their new hats.

On Saturday night, I helped Joy babysit the kids and then I rushed over to an emergency protest against Trump's unconstitutional immigration ban at the airport. It was packed and the police had shut down the T station nearby when I had to leave for my night job.

Protest. You can see my head in the left bottom corner.

Crowd shot I grabbed from the internet. You can find me on the left side of the crowd if you look closely.

The next day I had a whole plan. Church, then a planned protest, then Ethiopian food night with friends. I went to church and took Terzo with me. Then I got everyone together making signs for the protest. At that point, disaster struck and everyone started coming down with a stomach bug. Which meant no protest for us. The kids were disappointed so I took a group photo and told them I would post it to Facebook so we could have an "internet protest" instead.

Us and our signs. Mine is cut off but it says "Make America Glitter Again."

I didn't end up going to Ethiopian food night or to my night job because I was the only non-sick person in the household and someone needed to be there to clean up vomit and go on gatorade runs.
