just when I thought I couldn’t love Target more….
50th anniversary Andy Warhol Campbell’s soup
now, who needs a grilled cheese?
Graham you are the best clone trooper, horsey stick firing ninja guy I know.
This past Friday, you were sure to rid my room of all bad chicken raptors and robots because you are the ‘rotector of the family.
Later, you told your father when he asked about cute girls in your class, “well to me, mommy is the most beautiful girl in the whole world”
I want to remember this when you’re sixteen and busted at curfew.
I love you so!

one of the nicest things that was said to me at work today was,
“I really like your mu-mu”
…..this by a woman with very precarious dental health
It’s a Maxi Dress People!
(with a navy and white striped cardi and red beads straight from Africa to support women in poverty, don’t ya know)
……someday I’ll write a book about my adventures in school psychology
until then it will suffice to say the normal curve is both beautiful and terrifying in its extremes
and genetics benefit from diversity (the family tree SHOULD branch)
it’s the perfect night for:
one minute molten lava cake
the recipe is on my Pinterest board, Foodie Goodness
…..so good I might need to buy a mu-mu!

so there have been a few pot holes in life lately
-these things are common to all humanity
but due to a PBS show I stumbled upon,
I’m focusing on the smiley, random, happy things in my life
So here goes:
A and G pretended to be Joe and Kelley-
they came up with some seriously funny stuff and giggled all night
one of my children telling me that Pancake Saturday was the happiest part of their week
I had no idea but will be breaking out the griddle more often!
Other random stuff that made me smile:
G in Trader Joe’s, saying, “Number 1 chewy bars” about 500 times
A reading and saying, “I’m so hooked to this book”- Thank you June Frear!
J consulting me about a wiring issue and our latest garage door drama-
this made me smile because I am mechanically impaired
but glad he asked for my insight
fun texts from my sisters
mellow mushroom pizza- Thank you Robin
my FPS peeps making me smile
J taking the kids on an adventure so I could read and soak in silence
God always loving me
Seeing my parents this week
new Fiesta plates
coffee with a good friend
smiley faces all around

today was the meet the teacher time at FPS
Ava was thrilled with “Hoot” and the “OWL” bet it’s a great year treat bag!
This fab lady even came up with an extra treat bag for little brother- over the top thoughtfulness!
Graham was blown away with “my school”
He said, “I love it, love it. They have legos and science and dinosaur books!”
He pretended to show us his classroom by setting up centers in his bedroom.
Once again I am filled with thankfulness that these kind, creative, gifted, and bright teachers
will be shaping my children’s hearts and minds!
I am so very grateful!

We’re all “TEAM LYNA”
We love you and know you can do this!

You may remember that last year Ava gave me a time share of her purple nail polish.
This year it was a purple toe ring.
She also made this. It’s our best family portrait yet! Love that girl!

I asked this handsome guy to take me to the mountains for my birthday.
He did not disappoint.
G said, “This is the most fun I’ve had in years!” – he’s four.
A said, “this is why they call it the GREAT outdoors”
one of nine elk we saw
may have to be a new tradition
