The

#1 Son is 18 today.  We had to jam in our festivities between his bass lesson and his Battle of the Bands gig at Jake's, but we managed somehow.  He constantly brings joy and laughter into our lives, so we wanted to make his day a fun one.  And another thing....not only did he get into Jacobs School, he found out this week that he earned a scholarship.  Yes, the kid is a marvel.  I hope his busy birthday has also been some fun.  Because #1 deserves fun and frolicking on this day and all thru his 18th year.

And here's another little school story to go with the celebration.  Little Red Head's teacher also had a birthday today.  She is now 30.  I went to her birthday party with the kinders and we went out to the playground and she gave all of us bubbles.  It was a blast.  Yesterday we did an awesome writer's workshop together.  The kinders were writing about giants after I read a book to them called Fie Fi Fo Fum.  Little Red Head wrote THE on the cover of his book.  When we asked him his book title he said, "The title is THE."
We asked, "The what, Little Red Head?"
"It is a book called THE.  THE is the title of this book,"  he told us.  I think it's a good title and surprisingly surprising.

So Happy Birthday to #1 Son and Coolio Kinder Teacher.  You're both very wonderful.  Must be something about this magical day of April 4th.
