Reading bandits have taken over my bed. Which color for the bathroom? What my boys are up to these days. Pretty much all day every day. Shout out to @_bensauer for the filming and the coaching! @jaftahowerton @kembehowerton I’m forbidden from saying too much but omg, old-school Star Wars fans: this movie will make you giddy. So good. #soloastarwarsstory Today our own government’s official website posted a warning about a Hispanic gang in the . . .

I love them a lot and I like them a lot. Feeling grateful today. I’m sure every mom has those moments of wondering if she’s doing it right or bungling the whole thing but today my kids made me a very intentional 2-course breakfast followed by thoughtful cards, gifts, planned skits, and then just cuddling in bed with me until were late for church. And it felt like I’m doing alright. Kind kids ... that’s the highest value. ❤️❤️ Happy Mother's Day to those of you navigating . . .

I am writing this from the grave as yesterday I died of embarrassment. I was sitting at church before the service started going over the worship set with one of the pastors. Meanwhile, Karis is sitting nearby, and she has brought a really old purse of mine that I gave her. And suddenly she pulls this condom out of an interior pocket of my purse and hands it to me and says “what is this?” Right there in the front row of church as I’m planning the set list of hymns with a guy I don’t know that . . .

She decided to organize the linen closet on her own so I guess I win at parenting. ?? So proud of India! She played Jack in her school’s production of Into the Woods. Stealing my beanie and my jacket and looking cooler than me, always. Kembe and Jafta are inspecting the work of the drywall professionals and they are not impressed. ?? THIS MAKES ME GIDDY.

Easter fun ... Happy Easter! What I love about this age: they are stoked to assemble the Easter stuff themselves and chose to watch Arrested Development while doing so. ? It’s the episode where Michael’s British girlfriend keeps calling him a pussy. Happy Easter kids! Love seeing all these kids excited about musical theater! #hamiltunes When theater nerds unite. #hamiltunes It’s “loc down” day for @gergerdee_z. Twisting and champagning . . .

Fun night last night watching @bookofmormon at @segerstromarts (and watching @thechance00 playing the doctor!) I’ve seen this show five times and I was still doubled over in laughter. So good! So much fun at @cirquedusoleil last night! Luzia is visually stunning and so creative. Something for everyone of every age. Loved getting to hear my friend @electric_lady_msj do her thing tonight. He might look like an adult but the faces . . .
