We lost DS at the mall. He stopped to look at something while we kept walking. We noticed quickly, but when he realized we were gone he headed in the opposite direction to find us. I was frantic. He almost ended up in the parking garage, but a nice man told him to go back inside.
I finally got caught up on GoT. 2 weeks ago I was in Florida and then this past Sunday I was working on a grad paper, so last night when DH took DD to gymnastics I sat down with DS and got caught up.
Without giving away any spoilers......WHY?!?
Sad.
Semi-related, I'm convinced my kids each need a direwolf lol.

So I'm at a conference, and they entire crowd sang Happy Birthday. As the moderator announced it, another guy shared that it is his birthday, too, so they sang to both of us. I felt much less embarrassed thanks to him.
I had a margarita and (free) queso. You people always rave about it, and I did like it, but my stomach is not used to liquid cheese

Third grade has been kind of terrible, but... it's almost over! Despite his struggles, DS showed me something he wrote and when I complimented his spelling, he explained that he's been using a spelling dictionary tool. We also started the testing process, and he feels encouraged by that. He loves to draw and creates characters based on his friends.
DD had a wonderful kindergarten year, capped off by winning an award for exemplifying the values of her school. She also reads above grade level and "won" the best design of a beanstalk to hold an egg (lol), which earned her a talking spot representing her class in a video.

I was happy to learn yesterday that HBONow posts new episodes at 9pm ET everywhere, so I got to watch last night's episode at dinnertime instead of waiting a week.

I leave tonight for a week, which is the longest I've been away from my kids (or H, for that matter). It also happens to be the last week of school, so I will miss DD's award ceremony among other things.

DS didn't in preschool. Now he refuses to do the performance his after-school program puts on, but he did "rap" with his class the other day. I was not allowed to photograph or record that moment, though.
DD is going to performing arts camp this summer, so...

My family has been obsessed with The Flash. We binged through season 1 over the last week. Netflix doesn't have season 2, so we're moving onto Arrow next.
There was also the one episode where she finally was interested in Indian culture (which I keep meaning to mention to my sister, bc that's basically her biggest gripe about the show, although she isn't a regular watcher). That was good, but I suspect we'll never see any of those characters again, which is really too bad because the guy she went to dinner with was ridiculously fine!

I believe Chris Messina was shooting a movie, which is partly why Danny is around less. But I'm sort of glad that they separated because his behavior was annoying. I assume they will get back together at some point.
I don't want Mindy to date yet another co-worker, but I'm enjoying her relationship with Jody.
H stayed home with DD today because she had a weird rash. When I got home DD was adamantly and excitedly telling me about how they watched The Avengers. H keeps saying they didn't, but DD is pretty convincing and letting our 2yo watch The Avengers IS totally something H would do.
I like 90% believe H... but there's a little part of me that believes my 2yo. lol
There's an Avengers cartoon on Netflix, I think. Maybe he showed her that.
