Zucchini noodles with pesto.
This was not very popular amongst my family members… I thought my mom would love it since she loves everything healthy. But. She looked at me like I had three heads when I served this for dinner. My dad didn’t even come near it. Chloe ate a few forceful bites and ran away. ONLY Shane and I thought it was delicious and we finished our plates. Shane actually asked for second. Maybe it had to with the fact that he was so starving just coming back from his basketball camp.
I didn’t even try giving it to Andrew. So for those who were snobs…, I had to make real pasta noodles and served it with the same pesto sauce. They were relieved.

Vietnamese banh mi – everyone’s favorite.

Chloe was in the art club this year and made this sign.

I was showered with cards, notes, coupons and gifts!

Chloe also made me coupons!

Andrew took them to Anthropologie store to use their own money to buy me gifts.

Shane made these chocolate pretzels for me when he went to Andrew’s work last week.

I feel so blessed I have such loving kids. Happy Mother’s day!

After lunch we went to our friends for some fun Easter activities.

Kids made red velvet cookies in celebration of Valentine’s day. 🙂

Then we delivered the cookies to our neighbors.

We got our Christmas tree today and Kids already wrapped and put our presents under the tree!

Kids have been taking pottery classes after school and here are some projects this fall.

We just come right down about a few blocks, and that’s where all our town people come.

Chloe’s carrying that eye ballon so I can keep an “eye” on her. 😉 It can get crazy around here and even between Andrew and I, we kept loosing the site of our kids last year.

Shane’s with the Pope this year so he’s in good hands. He had the best costume!

They gave out hot dogs….

We had a little impromptu party with Chloe and Shane’s friends in our backyard before going out trick or treating.

Somehow it always turns into a spa party with Chloe’s friends.

Chloe’s a musketeer and Shane’s a wizard.

So happy to see these faces again! And Shane lost his front teeth today! 

I told the kids to hold off on ghosting until I return and that’s the first thing I had to do when I came back!
