5 Photos / Randoms on a Friday.

This photo adequately sums up my life.  It's friday.  Twins are asleep.  I could be picking up the house, or putting away laundry, or doing any of the 500 million things (or, like, 20 things) on my to do list.  But if Helly the Skelly can sit and chill then I guess I can too.

Kids are weirdly in love with this skeleton.  We also bought a bag of bones to play with, because that's normal?  This weekend it's time to decorate for halloween.

Life continues to be busy! On Monday this guy turned EIGHT.  Grandma made a football cake.  Kiddo was more impressed than he looks in this photo.

Eight is GREAT.  I'll add that to my kid age rhymes:

See it through till two

Survive to five

Eight is great

Last weekend I took the twins to Castle Coch to look at leaves but the leaves hadn't changed a lot.  I am just ready for leaves!  It was an adorable expedition without leaves, and I even remembered to send a photo to Elisabeth for the Cool Bloggers Walking Club:

My mom is here right now and she brought a Trader Joe's care package and it is the best! I know I'm in my 40s but I can still love a care package right?  Also, how come it took me 15 years of living in the UK to realize that all I ever want from the US is everything from Trader Joes?

I have been weirdly curious about the Pilot Juice + Pen:

Because I couldn't find it in the UK I became more and more curious, and finally I ordered it from JetPens, which is a US pen company that imports from Japan, and had them sent to the US, and then ferried over to me.  The Japanese company had weirdly complicated customs fees and the Swedish company that seemed to import/export seems curious and sometimes you just need to go with what's easiest even if the easiest thing is shipping pens from Japan to the USA and then to the UK.  

They are fun pens.  I like writing things with them.

Do you have a skeleton in your house?  In your closet?  Do you like funky pens?  What about football cakes?
