Happy Birthday to me!

Happy Birthday to me! Thirty nine. That’s a big number. It was a lovely day. Rainy and cold, but that’s ok. I spent the morning in preschool, thankful for this great job. Then I met a friend for lunch and she happened to see on FB that it was my birthday and insisted on treating. Delicious food, great company, no cost! After school the kids had friends over and they all played happily while I drank tea and read the newspaper. Then we all had evening meetings. Alan had an energy thing, Lex had his Lego League, and I went to the PTO meeting. Eve joined me and played with all the other kids there. Then home for bed, wine, Colbert, and cozy new sweats from Rosy! Life is good.

Boys and girls

The kids both have friends over right now. The boys are in the living room, in the dark (at 4pm because winter, ugh!), playing Minecraft. The girls are upstairs, blasting music, singing their hearts out, and doing artwork (at least last time I checked on them). Gender stereotypes abound, but everyone is happy. :)
