a bad gene

Yep folks, I got one. A bad gene.. I don't know what chromosome it's located on - maybe all, but it's a beast. LAZINESS!! Here goes a quick update on life in CA. We had some birthday celebrations - if that's what you could call them.

I am only blogging S right now because I can see the laziness looming in the near future (like in the next 5 min). :) He turned 7 (CRAZY!), and he wanted a shark birthday. Well the cupcakes for his class had sharks on them, but the home cake was a shark, squid, octopus, sea cucumber and sea crap cake. S has been obsessed with the ocean for quite a while. In the summer he took a class where he got to dissect a squid. He wanted to keep it, but the stink was unbelievable. (of course k is the magician with the red licorice - making all the sea animals needed)

They tried, but he's just too "king kong" for them.

Jacob wondering when he will be strong enough to stuff k's face in the cake... keep dreaming those big dreams little boy.

Of course I couldn't help slipping in a picture of the sushinator. She is sooo fun and cute, and the boys love her so much. They are amazing at helping out. They can make her laugh like no other, especially when playing games where she has the poop touch (related to the cheese touch in Diary of a Wimpy Kid). They are trying to run from her and she loves crawling after them, laughing as she tries to pass on the poop touch. They also love to take her into their room and have baby obstacle courses. She always accomplishes great feats - like crawling over pillows placed in her way. She in turn loves to eat their Lego pieces.
