Mom and her kiddos!

I'm a single mom this week while Sebastian finishes the last leg of the Pearl Jam tour in New York City. Not even kidding! To top it off, he is also enjoying Derek Jeter and the New York Yankees! Can you feel the jealousy? Lucky for me our office is closed several days this week so I get to spend lots of time with my kiddos.

On Wednesday Jake and I spent the morning at the Zoo. Jake and I have never taken a trip to the Zoo, just the two of us. It was so much fun! He truly enjoyed our one on one time. As did I! He called the shots the entire visit. It even included a ride on the skyfari. We got the heck out of there just in time for a meltdown and a nap in the car. Loved our time and hope we get to do it again real soon.








Alyssa always has a tough time while her daddy is away so I try to distract her. Today the kids used their sidewalk chalk on the driveway and created their works of art. As I was taking pictures I thought for sure I was about to capture a great picture of Jake lovin' his sister. He had just gone up to her and given her an unsolicited hug and said, "I wuv you sissy." He then leans in for what I thought was going to be a kiss on the head, but instead....wait for it......he leaned down and spit on her head. GROSS! Seriously! Where do boys learn this stuff!??!?! Needless to say that was the end of the special brother-sister time because he had to pay the price and sit in the corner.

Jake learned to ride his scooter. Go Jakey!

Jakey got a haircut today. Doesn't he look adorable?
