Momming hard

I should get OT for this... 

The scene: we snuck out in between Peter and Jess’ ceremony and reception for some pizza/sober up time. 

Me: We’ll take two more soda waters please.

PK3: My first one is still full. 

Me: Yes. Yes, it is. Drink up fucker.

Says it all...

Missing them

I’m only in the Uber in SD on my way to meet PK in Chicago for Pete and Jessie’s wedding and I already miss these two terribly...

Office Visitor

Isla needed a little extra TLC the other day so I picked her up from school and brought her to my work for a couple of hours. For some reason she thought she had to sneak in which of course I thought was adorable so I didn’t correct her. She snuck and ran her little-sequenced-self all the way through the building. Then she ate my whole stash of snacks, watched Frozen on my computer and decorated my door for me.

One of my co-workers, Narges needed to talk to me while Isla was in my office. Isla kept herself busy drawing a picture of Narges and I. When Narges asked if Isla could draw her long hair she drew a sguiggly line all the way up. 

Oh! And of course she hit the admins up for candy!

Proud Mama Moment

Q received an award (in front of the entire school!)

He was so excited and so sweet! Tonight we’re going to celebrate with the Krupps- Sweet Clair also got an award today! 

Keep up the kindness Q! You can change the world with your spirit!!

Isla is proud of him too, I swear. And yes, she has pink eyebrows. 

A tale of 2 Marshall’s

My morning started with this advice-seeking text to a group of moms

The moms won and Isla went to school with leg-warmers on her arms and a ton of accessories. Here’s the final product:

At a school across town, Q’s teacher told me to make sure I stick around for a bit after drop off on Friday morning because he is receiving an award during an assembly. He doesn’t even know what an assembly is!!! I asked what the award was for and she said, “self regulation. It was really easy because he’s my only boy that can self regulate at all.” 

I am so proud in so many ways of both of them. I haven’t stopped smiling all week! 

Here’s a pic of Q after Sra. Ling told me the good news. He doesn’t know yet- it will be a surprise on Friday morning!!
