Shane, it’s a privilege and gift to be your mom and I am so proud of you everyday. Happiest birthday to my son! I love you so much~~

My mom made us birthday breakfast : Seaweed soup with rice and some vegetable dishes

Tonight we celebrated his birthday with a bonfire, smores, and cakes in the backyard porch.

He wanted ramen for late night snack. His favorite food on earth that he’s not allowed to have…except for  special occasions such as tonight…;P

Chloe joined her school cross country team and today was her first meet. She ran 1.7 miles with 6th, 7th & 8th graders and came in 17th place out of approx. 45 runners. I think she came in 2nd amongst  6th graders. That is pretty good!

Today was Shane’s school curriculum night and we found this hung in his classroom.  He’s a funny dude. Lol.

Birthday breakfast:Salad with smoked salmon, avocado and poached eggs

I made her apple cider donut “cake”

Photobombed by Chloe… carrying her slime…

Finished the day with a movie night just the two of us. We enjoyed watching Simple Favor. Happy birthday Mom! Words can’t express how thankful I am that you’re my mom. Love you!

When I got the invite for a girls only house warming party at Julie’s, I couldn’t wait to see the house! She and her husband worked on custom building this house, I knew it was going to be good. Really good. What a gorgeous house.

Thank you for a lovely afternoon of delicious food and laughter! My cheeks were sore from laughing so much. Thank you Julie! 

We even took a “prom” picture.

A middle schooler and a 4th grader in the house!

Can’t forget a healthy breakfast.

We got up so early that she even had some reading time to calm her nerves.

We went paddle boarding in Franklin Lakes.

Chloe announced that she’s going to cooked for us this weekend and  she worked on a menu, jotting down a list of grocery list.

She wanted me out of the kitchen and out of her way, so she could do everything on her own. But she needed help so she hired a sous-chef named Andrew. 😉

They were working hard when I came back to the kitchen after being gone shopping with my mom.

My mom looking so amused.

Chloe said this was her invention, her own recipe. It was really really good!

She gave a very good introductory about her food,

then she bowed,

said Grace,

and served her food to everyone. Bravo!

shenanigans at home~ LOL
