This guy turned 8 today:

I’m not sure how this happened. I’m not sure how he went from this not-so-tiny thing who melted my heart immediately but never slept to this wannabe big kid who still melts my heart and doesn’t want to sleep. He’s pretty great. And by pretty great I mean utterly and completely fantastic. Not perfect. But still fantastic. This kid is full of passionate, full of life, determined, curious, smart, loyal, giving, kind, and really, really good at snuggling with his mama.

I love you J. I am so incredibly lucky to be your mom.

J is 7 now. How did this happen? I love this kid. Enthusiastic. Inquisitive. Snuggly. Determined. Silly. Compassionate. Lego loving. He’s a pretty great kid. His birthday was a perfect mix of fun and calm. Is that even possible? Presents in the morning, Lego cupcakes at school, a couple friends over for an afternoon of Skylanders and pizza, and a concert at school to finish it off. Happy, happy birthday Guapo. I love you like crazy.

so much for collections

This is what happens when he decides he no longer needs his state quarter collection. (I think Big Sister may have something to do with it when she counted them and informed him that he had $19 in quarters.) One trip to the toy store later…

Also, in Great Kid Quotes, this is what the youngest asked very indignantly upon driving up to the store:

“Hey! Where those people put my binkies?”

(He had used all his binkies to “buy” a new tricycle last month.)

blueberry boy bait cakes

School ended on Wednesday, which meant that the kids and I went into a cooking frenzy to make treats for their teachers. This year we decided to make Blueberry Boy Bait Cakes from my very favorite cooking blog. A trip to Sur La Table (aka my very favorite store) resulted in 10 paper baking molds, which made them easy to give away. The recipe will fill 2 molds, so we just doubled it. 3 times. It was a baking extravaganza.


A was in charge of measuring, J did the mixing, I did the pouring and we all helped lick the bowl numerous times.


They looked pretty yummy. Sadly, we didn’t make an extra one for ourselves. Soon.
