Celebrating

For my birthday, I put the kids on the school bus (first time ever for reluctant Blaze--it was so sweet to see the brothers sitting next to each other as the bus pulled away) and had a lovely walk to work. (Although I started listening to "The Body Keeps the Score," which is not light birthday reading!

Last night Francisco and I went out for dinner and to a play at school, which was hilarious and fun. 

My mother-in-law sent flowers.

I encountered this shock in my bran cereal this morning. 

And these mushrooms on the walk home last night.
