Happy 4th Birthday Simey

Happy birthday to this smart, intense, wonderful nugget. It's been 4 years but I feel like I've known you my entire life! I just love you so much and I hope your day felt special.

Happy 8th Birthday Ziggyman

Happy 8th birthday to the sweetest tater tot I know. He's funny, kind, smart and can write a decent book review! He loves reading Harry Potter and Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and can play 'I'm a believer' on the guitar. He rock climbs, bikes and scooters all around town and still loves to hug me!! I'm basically the luckiest mom around to have a sweetie like Ziggy as my son and I love him so much!

2016

How have I not posted since October of last year! I suck at this. Some updates, ziggy has been playing guitar. He can play 'my heart will go on' and 'can you feel the love tonight' and read notes pretty well now. He's also a super great rock climber. We joined a local gym and he's able to climb a 5.9! I'm still trying to make art. Mark launched fallout 4 and his work flew the whole office and significant others to LA. Simon has been getting nicer and is phasing out of his threenager stage. Phew!!

No school

The pipes burst at Zig's school so they closed it for the day. He said Simon should be able to skip school too, so that's what we did. We all played hooky and it was FUN. We finished reading the thief of always.

Cool cucumber soup

The verdict: I kind of like it but I don't.

Macaroni for lunch instead.
