James did fantastic with potty training, and his reward for completing his potty chart was a trip to his favorite place on Earth, Chuck E. Cheese’s. He was pretty proud of himself (we’re proud of him, too):
He ran all over the place, playing every game he could get his hands on.
When he came home, he crashed on the couch for three hours. Chuck E. Cheese really takes it out of a kid.

My Arteest
~While Mike and James were hanging out with Chuck, Annie and I had a mother/daughter day. We got our nails done, had lunch, captured some Pokémon, and then I took her to a new place that just opened in our mall. Kids can drop in any time for art lessons, where they first draw and then paint in their masterpiece. Annabel was in heaven. She chose to draw a character from My Little Pony, and I watched as the instructor walked her through the process but never actually touched Annie’s artwork. I was impressed with how it turned out, and she was THRILLED. We’ll definitely go back!
Cool Stuff
~Harry Potter and the Cursed Child comes out today!! So excited to read it!

“Because this was one of the things that had been best in his life. Knowing Ben.”

OK so the Gwen Stefani one gave me the ugly cry. Why are kids so friggin mean? Why is Gwen so friggin cool? Why is my life so friggin boring? I kid, I kid,…my life is just fine and I have never been bullied. Mean people suck. Gwen is a goddess. The End.

I just have to say I LOVE your Surfing Sundays bc these are always great links to articles.
I’m local and would love the name of the art place. Promise not to stalk you if I see you there but I know some kids that would love it.
